Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
in the fourth grade I had a crush on Tia Smith
sixth grade and this crush is turned to Beatrice
but they don't like me
because I'm too nice
and I'm kinda fat
and not the dope type
But I grew out of that
And it's a miracle
not every girl sees me as marrying material
It's a buyers market
I'm Alicia's target
And every other girl who wanna let me steam their carpet
I love these hipster girls
and they feel the same
now they don't have to choose when someone asks them Drake or Wayne
and niggas waiting on me
we didn't have a voice
we used to have to act street but now you've got a choice
my momma's brownie mix
i keep the goodies moist
of every girl i'm tappin
this wasn't supposed to happen
hard to keep my thoughts straight
on every date
especially when my penis talking
SWAT team, cover me
i'm going in.
I do not talk. I am just a rapper.
Yes, i got
i'm meeting other girls
but you don't wanna hear that
for fear that i fuck a lot.
and you don't wanna get attached cause you'll like me
i fucked a girl named Keira Knightly
Nah, I made it up
Cause it sounded dope
I don't give a fuck.
Ride me, Giddy up.
They can hear us in the hall, arsenio.
naw girl i don't wanna shoot a video
i do it all day
don't you watch me on the tv show?
i'm gonna get mines any means necessary
got red bull pulsing through my pulmonary
least i feel like it
met her at a club
now we're making out
and i ain't spend a dub
i'm gonna try to live it up like top floor
and my girls like get so i bought more
all girls 18 and over love this light speed Casanova
house pimped out will young sonoma
sleep on me that is a coma
yeah nigga, you see what i'm getting at
i'm getting at her
i'm hitting that
her kitty cat purred
how weird is that?
i'm digging that
a nigga not
trying to say i don't make mistakes
i'm trying to fix all the hearts i break
but every time that we talk in my apartment
we're gonna kiss a little
and then we start shit
you're heartless!
don't call again!
don't email!
we can't be friends!
i swear that this is the end!
then i call her next week
and we do it again.
my girls, my girls, my girls. my girls.
my girls, my girls, my girls, my girls.
I don't mean to seem like I care about material things, like a social status.
I just want four walls and adobe slabs for my girls.
Ow!

No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
