This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Keep on knockin', keep it up, knock boots
Keep knockin', keep it up until the end, now
White trash, celebrities, talking heads and tabloid sleaze
War reports and violent crime, hideous news almost all the time
Feelin' really low, then I start to wonder how to stop myself from goin' under
It flashes super-bright, I realize the surest way to prove we're still alive
Knock boots until you die now
You never know when they're gonna pull the plug
So knock boots until the end
You think there's more, but suddenly there's none
Keep on knockin', keep it up now
Don't you cut and run when trouble comes around now
Knock boots until the end
Don't let it tweak you out, don't let it bring you down
Keep on knockin', keep it up
Talkin' loud, sayin' nothin', sayin' what enough's enough
They dumb it down until it's all the same
Talkin' loud, sayin' nothin', sayin' what enough's enough
They stir the pot until everything's insane
What did they just say?
Wait! Don't tell me! Time to start knockin'!
Oh yeah
Keep knocking
Keep it up-up-up-up
The goons talk, the creeps arrive
The suits laugh as they rob you blind
Bigger Ballers and self-appointed cops
In attack dog mode, they just won't stop
Feelin' really low, then I start to wonder how to stop myself from goin' under
It flashes super-bright, I realize the surest way to prove we're still alive
Knock boots until you die now
You never know when they're gonna pull the plug
So knock boots until the end
You think there's more, but suddenly there's none
Keep on knockin', keep it up now
Don't you cut and run when trouble comes around now
Knock boots until the end
Don't let it tweak you out, don't let it bring you down
Keep on knockin', keep it up now
Keep knockin', keep it up until the end, now
White trash, celebrities, talking heads and tabloid sleaze
War reports and violent crime, hideous news almost all the time
Feelin' really low, then I start to wonder how to stop myself from goin' under
It flashes super-bright, I realize the surest way to prove we're still alive
Knock boots until you die now
You never know when they're gonna pull the plug
So knock boots until the end
You think there's more, but suddenly there's none
Keep on knockin', keep it up now
Don't you cut and run when trouble comes around now
Knock boots until the end
Don't let it tweak you out, don't let it bring you down
Keep on knockin', keep it up
Talkin' loud, sayin' nothin', sayin' what enough's enough
They dumb it down until it's all the same
Talkin' loud, sayin' nothin', sayin' what enough's enough
They stir the pot until everything's insane
What did they just say?
Wait! Don't tell me! Time to start knockin'!
Oh yeah
Keep knocking
Keep it up-up-up-up

You never know when they're gonna pull the plug
So knock boots until the end
You think there's more, but suddenly there's none
Keep on knockin', keep it up now
Don't you cut and run when trouble comes around now
Knock boots until the end
Don't let it tweak you out, don't let it bring you down
Keep on knockin', keep it up now

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/
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Essentially it's about how following the herd blindly can get you into a bad situation, not unlike we have right now. Also hearing nothing but bad news all the time can lead to depression and misery, and one should fight for good things.
