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.
I got it for sale, nigga, I got it for sale
If you want it, you can get it 'cause I got it for sale
I got it for sale, nigga, I got it for sale

Juicy J. put cats to shame
Three 6 drop beats like acid rain
I told yall before this ain't a damn game
You the weakest link. I be the damn chain
If u a bitch than bitch gimme brains
If you a clean shirt I be the blood stain
When you get hurt I am the pain

I maintain get change spit thangs in wite veins
Ain't a damn thang changed. crystal clear like a picture frame
Me and crunchy black on a damn plane
The architech and president off in the Range
I be quick to spot you before you get close
Im as good as a biscuit, like breakfast rolls
Stay out my business before I turn critical
Scalp you like an Indian ritual
Cause yo my rhymes is too visual
You wanna spit that shit but ya rhymes is too pitiful
You can't get with me. the last samari

I have no table manners
Hit hard like a motherfuckin' sledge hammer
Got bitches from memphis to alabama
They can't hang with my swag or nuttin
You the ingine that could but im the wood
Shoot first ask questions later
Ill see ya now but won't see ya later
I just gave credit to the grave bruh

Got the hoes gotta speed up the flow
One mo time. catch scarcrow on the grind
If you ain't bout money dont waste my time
Hypnotize always gon' shine
Leave hoes shot from a gun of mine like

If you want it, you can get it 'cause I got it for sale

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/
