Chi va dicendo in giro
Che odio il mio lavoro
Non sa con quanto amore
Mi dedico al tritolo
È quasi indipendente
Ancora poche ore
Poi gli darò la voce
Il detonatore

Il mio Pinocchio fragile
Parente artigianale
Di ordigni costruiti
Su scala industriale
Di me non farà mai
Un cavaliere del lavoro
Io sono d'un'altra razza
Son bombarolo

Nel scendere le scale
Ci metto più attenzione
Sarebbe imperdonabile
Giustiziarmi sul portone
Proprio nel giorno in cui
La decisione è mia
Sulla condanna a morte
O l'amnistia

Per strada tante facce
Non hanno un bel colore
Qui chi non terrorizza
Si ammala di terrore
C'è chi aspetta la pioggia
Per non piangere da solo
Io sono d'un altro avviso
Son bombarolo

Intellettuali d'oggi
Idioti di domani
Ridatemi il cervello
Che basta alle mie mani
Profeti molto acrobati
Della rivoluzione
Oggi farò da me
Senza lezione

Vi scoverò i nemici
Per voi così distanti
E dopo averli uccisi
Sarò fra i latitanti
Ma finché li cerco io
I latitanti sono loro
Ho scelto un'altra scuola
Son bombarolo

Potere troppe volte
Delegato ad altre mani
Sganciato e restituitoci
Dai tuoi aeroplani
Io vengo a restituirti
Un po' del tuo terrore
Del tuo disordine
Del tuo rumore

Così pensava forte
Un trentenne disperato
Se non del tutto giusto
Quasi niente sbagliato
Cercando il luogo idoneo
Adatto al suo tritolo
Insomma il posto degno
D'un bombarolo

C'è chi lo vide ridere
Davanti al Parlamento
Aspettando l'esplosione
Che provasse il suo talento
C'è chi lo vide piangere
Un torrente di vocali
Vedendo esplodere
Un chiosco di giornali

Ma ciò che lo ferì
Profondamente nell'orgoglio
Fu l'immagine di lei
Che si sporgeva da ogni foglio
Lontana dal ridicolo
In cui lo lasciò solo
Ma in prima pagina
Col bombarolo

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

No Surprises
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
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/

Plastic Bag
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.
