This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
They ripped up all the grass
And they cut down all the trees
Built a fence - little sign says
"Keep away, if you please."
And it was difficult to argue
With the trenches and the guns
50,000 volts, the wires buzzing
Touch it and you're D.O.A.
D.C.
Deceased!
Your secret's safe with us
The trucks roll in at midnight
Skull and crossbones on the headlights
They carry poison
Carry fission for the black zone
Hear the test-tubes bubble
With disease for enemies
I hope there's not a breeze!
And the villagers line up
Outside with Placards, sing 'Abide with me'
The guards just laugh; smoke rises
In the distance
Because the black zone is here to stay
And it's here to protect us
Til that black and bitter day
When test-tube spills and blows us all away
And they cut down all the trees
Built a fence - little sign says
"Keep away, if you please."
And it was difficult to argue
With the trenches and the guns
50,000 volts, the wires buzzing
Touch it and you're D.O.A.
D.C.
Deceased!
Your secret's safe with us
The trucks roll in at midnight
Skull and crossbones on the headlights
They carry poison
Carry fission for the black zone
Hear the test-tubes bubble
With disease for enemies
I hope there's not a breeze!
And the villagers line up
Outside with Placards, sing 'Abide with me'
The guards just laugh; smoke rises
In the distance
Because the black zone is here to stay
And it's here to protect us
Til that black and bitter day
When test-tube spills and blows us all away

No Surprises

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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
It's to my understanding that this album is a story about a fascist regime being installed in a nation. If this is indeed true, this is the song where the totalitarians move in. At the very least, those in power have secluded a space where no citizen is allowed. Alternatively, the city itself could be the black zone.
The black zone is a facility manufacturing particularly nasty weapons- chemical, biological and radioactive. One of my favorite LPD songs, combining horrifying imagery with wry wordplay. I hope there's not a breeze.
