If you wanna ride, you can come out and see me
I could be home by now
If you wanna ride, you can come out and see me
I could be home by now

When the whistle blows
And we pull out slow
This is where I build my home
And I wait for you so patiently
Letting you find your own

If you wanna try, you can come out and see me
I could be home by now
But anywhere I am, tell me you're waiting for me
I could be home by now

If you wanna try, you can come out and see me
I could be home by now
If you wanna try, you can come out and see me
I could be home by now

When I am old, let the tension flee
I was born crying out and it's come back to me
When everyone else is setting up to fall
I'll just think back on it all

I'll remember long drives, sitting in the back
Looking out and endless snow,
Waiting in the silence, if you won't spill your heart,
I'll chase you for the words you owe
And you and you know and they're begging "come home"
And you and you know and they're begging "come home"
And you and you know and they're begging "come home"
And you and you know and they're begging "come home"

(If you wanna ride, I could be home by now)
And you and you know and they're begging "come home"
(If you wanna ride, I could be home by now)
And you and you know and they're begging "come home"
(If you wanna ride, you can come out and see me
I could be home by now)
And you and you know and they're begging "come home"
(If you wanna ride, you can come out and see me
I could be home by now)
And you and you know and they're begging "come home"

    My Interpretation

    Beautiful song. It seems to me it could be about a long distance relationship that they didn't give a chance.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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/
