We're soarin', flyin'
There's not a star in heaven that we can't reach
If we're trying so we're breaking free

You know the world can see us
In a way that's different than who we are
Creating space between us
'Til we're separate hearts

But your faith it gives me strength
Strength to believe

We're breakin' free
We're soarin', flyin'
There's not a star in heaven that we can't reach
If we're trying
Yeah, we're breaking free
Oh, we're breakin' free (oh)

Can you feel it building
Like a wave the ocean just can't control
Connected by a feeling
Ooh, in our very souls (very soul, ooh)
Rising 'til it lifts us up
So every one can see

We're breakin' free
We're soarin', flyin'
There's not a star in heaven that we can't reach
If we're trying
Yeah, we're breaking free
Oh, we're breakin' free (ooh)

Runnin', climbin'
To get to that place
To be all that we can be
Now's the time
So we're breaking free
We're breaking free (ooh, yeah)

More than hope, more than faith
This is true, this is fate
And together we see it comin'
More than you, more than me
Not a want, but a need
Both of us breakin' free

We're soarin', flyin'
There's not a star in heaven that we can't reach
If we're trying
Yeah, we're breaking free (breakin' free)

We're runnin', ooh, climbin'
To get to the place
To be all that we can be (be)
Now's the time (now's the time)
So we're breaking free
Oh, we're breaking free
Oh

You know the world can see us
In a way that's different than who we are

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.
