This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I washed chain grease and blood off of my hands
In the ocean, I let salt water rinse the dirt away
I stood calm in a room I hadn't been in
In a decade, I felt dizzy, used to stand here every day
Wait out the storm in a harbor town
Pretend I'll see you in fall
Wait out the storm in a harbor town, whoa
Hey Hannah, don't go
We could've given you such a beautiful home
I won't call
No, you're waiting right outside
Thanks for the ride
I watched lines of container ships drift in
Just off of Long Beach, I thought long about where you would be today
We lose touch after college came my way
I hear you got married to some boy from California
Have a family on the way
Wait out the storm in a harbor town
Pretend I'll see you in Fall
Wait out the storm in a harbor town, whoa
Hey Hannah, don't go
We could've given you such a beautiful home
I won't call
No, you're waiting right outside
Thanks for the ride
Hey Hannah, don't go
We could've given you such a beautiful home
I won't call
No, you're waiting right outside
I'm letting balloons drift off
Sending kids to a lonely God
Darling, please wake up
I'm letting balloons drift off
Sending kids to a lonely God
If you see her, tell her I'm not giving up
(See her, tell her I'm not giving up)
Hey Hannah, don't go
We could've given you such a beautiful home
I won't call
No, you're waiting right outside
Hey Hannah, don't go
We could've given you such a beautiful home
I won't call
No, you're waiting right outside
Thanks for the ride

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
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/
