The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
You've given into tempation's demands
By a cruel slight of hand, you could lose it all
Cold and alone when your luck leaves you stranded
Walk out empty handed; greed takes is toll
You moved too fast
You spoke too soon
And now it's too late
Fate for the taking; you gamble with love
Got to lose to win what you're dreaming of
Mistakes you're making put my love on hold
While you're out fortune-faking, my heart grows cold
You moved too fast
You spoke too soon
And my love won't wait
People are talking about you
Rumors are spreading; tell me they're not true
I'm tired of waiting, it's too late
You let your love circulate
You let your love circulate
You've given into tempation's hands
By a cruel slight of hand, you could lose it all
Cold and alone when your luck leaves you stranded
Walk out empty handed; greed takes is toll
You moved too fast
You spoke too soon
And now it's too late
People are talking about you
Rumors are spreading; tell me they're not true
I'm tired of waiting, it's too late
You let your love circulate
People are talking about you
Rumors are spreading; tell me they're not true
I'm tired of waiting, it's too late
You let your love circulate
People are talking about you
Rumors are spreading; tell me they're not true
I'm tired of waiting, it's too late
You let your love circulate
You let your love circulate
You let your love circulate
You let your love circulate
You let your love circulate
You let your love...
By a cruel slight of hand, you could lose it all
Cold and alone when your luck leaves you stranded
Walk out empty handed; greed takes is toll
You moved too fast
You spoke too soon
And now it's too late
Fate for the taking; you gamble with love
Got to lose to win what you're dreaming of
Mistakes you're making put my love on hold
While you're out fortune-faking, my heart grows cold
You moved too fast
You spoke too soon
And my love won't wait
People are talking about you
Rumors are spreading; tell me they're not true
I'm tired of waiting, it's too late
You let your love circulate
You let your love circulate
You've given into tempation's hands
By a cruel slight of hand, you could lose it all
Cold and alone when your luck leaves you stranded
Walk out empty handed; greed takes is toll
You moved too fast
You spoke too soon
And now it's too late
People are talking about you
Rumors are spreading; tell me they're not true
I'm tired of waiting, it's too late
You let your love circulate
People are talking about you
Rumors are spreading; tell me they're not true
I'm tired of waiting, it's too late
You let your love circulate
People are talking about you
Rumors are spreading; tell me they're not true
I'm tired of waiting, it's too late
You let your love circulate
You let your love circulate
You let your love circulate
You let your love circulate
You let your love circulate
You let your love...

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
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/
Magical

Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
