I went to the party
It's never what it seems
I went to the party
Ya know what I mean?
I want to the party
Just me, a lonely MC
You can pop the cork,
Said you can twist the cap
I'm at this party
And I'm here to rap!

I went to the party, but I couldn't get in
I asked the bouncer if he knew my girl Hesta Prynn
He said, "I know that girl, are you in that band?"
I said, "I think I'm on the list, could you stamp my hand?"

He said, "Step inside girl, you look alright
Hold up - do you satisfy the minimum height?
You gotta be this tall to ride tonight"
I said, "I might be short, but I can still party
I can shake it on the floor like Melissa Alardi!"

I went to the party, but I'll never go back, yo
The speakers were shitty and the jams were whack
This girl at the bar said, "Northern who?"
I said, "It's Northern State, haven't you heard of my crew?

Yo we rock the stage anyway we want,
Hell I'll rock this party like a debutante
Riverdale's too Kiwanis
True party people want us, yo
Keep it real, I gotta break the seal

Close my eyes as I leave the house (close my eyes and i)
And then I'm at the party and I'm fillin out (im at the party and i)
And then I'm watchin my worries as they floatin by (watch all my worries just)
It's just, there they go, slippin away now (slip away)

It's alright if you're feelin bad (it's alright ??)
And then you're at the party and you feel so glad (im at the party and i)
And you wanna know if it's time to work or play (just don't know if)
It's just - should I go or should I stay now? (i should go or stay)

Yo, I called you
Yo, I didn't get it
I didn't hear my cell,
Didn't ring, so don't sweat it!

I went to the party
It's never what it seems
I went to the party
Ya know what I mean?
I want to the party
Just me, a lonely MC
You can pop the cork,
Said you can twist the cap
I'm at this party
And I'm here to rap!

I went to the party, a lonely MC
All the way from Avenue D
Lookin for Katie Cassidy
I noticed this guy was starin at me

He said, "Hi," I said, "Hi, do I know you?"
He said, "Yeah, don't you run in that girl rap group?"
Uh huh ho, you're the one with that liberal arts
Academic, literary kinda name, right?

I said, "Like Gorgeous George, my name is Hideous Hesta
Rhyme with pizazz, and I am the masta
Shout out to Cynthia plasta casta
Speed up the tempo and I'll go faster!"

Uhn! You wanna know what it's about?
I like to party but I never go out
Mailin' and I'm maxin', callin' and I'm faxin'
I need some more relaxin', 'cause my job is real taxin'!

I got the perfect party in my mind
Y'all out on the floor, relax and unwind
And the people at the party be the NSP
No drama at the door and the drinks are free!

Close my eyes as I leave the house (close my eyes and i)
And then I'm at the party and I'm fillin out (im at the party and i)
And then I'm watchin my worries as they floatin by (watch all my worries just)
It's just, there they go, slippin away now (slip away)

It's alright if you're feelin bad (it's alright ??)
And then you're at the party and you feel so glad (im at the party and i)
And you wanna know if it's time to work or play (just don't know if)
It's just - should I go or should I stay now? (i should go or stay)

Yo, ya know it
Yo, like Dolly said it
Workin nine to five'll
Make you crazy if you let it!

I went to the party
It's never what it seems
I went to the party
Ya know what I mean?
I want to the party
Just me, a lonely MC
You can pop the cork,
Said you can twist the cap
I'm at this party
And I'm here to rap!

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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/

Amazing

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.
