In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
La decadencia esta prohibida en tu mente
La caída pierde altura por momentos
El templo del sol estallo
Nunca podre saber
Si la cruz es salvación
La casa iluminada espera que alguien entre
El martirio inocente que siempre se ha de
Malinterpretar
El templo del sol estallo
Nunca podre saber
Si la cruz es salvación
Es la mala hora
Condenado estoy
Es la mala hora
Condenado estoy
Cien pájaros hambrientos
Anuncian la aurora
Mi jodida suerte termino
Y en tu ausencia la paredes
Ee pintaran de tristeza
Y enjaulare mi corazon entre tus huesos
Y en tu ausencia la paredes
Se pintaran de tristeza
Y enjaulare mi corazon entre tus huesos
Dejadme oir como late el corazon
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Rockin' all the time
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Rockin' all the time
Ohhh Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine
Hound dog
Cryin' all the time
You ain't never caught a rabbit
Cryin' all the time
And you ain't no friend of mine
Que lejos estoy del suelo
Donde he nacido
Inmensa nostalgia invade mi pensamiento
Y al verme tan solo y triste
Cual hoja al viento
Quisiera llorar quisiera morir
Como Kurt Cobain de sentimiento
Pero no olviden
Supervitaminarse y mineralizarse
Porque la decadencia esta prohibida
En nuestras jodidas mentes
La decadencia esta prohibida
La decadencia esta prohibida
La decadencia esta prohibida
La caida pierde altura
Por momentos, por momentos
La caida pierde altura
Momento a momento, a momento a momento
La caída pierde altura por momentos
El templo del sol estallo
Nunca podre saber
Si la cruz es salvación
La casa iluminada espera que alguien entre
El martirio inocente que siempre se ha de
Malinterpretar
El templo del sol estallo
Nunca podre saber
Si la cruz es salvación
Es la mala hora
Condenado estoy
Es la mala hora
Condenado estoy
Cien pájaros hambrientos
Anuncian la aurora
Mi jodida suerte termino
Y en tu ausencia la paredes
Ee pintaran de tristeza
Y enjaulare mi corazon entre tus huesos
Y en tu ausencia la paredes
Se pintaran de tristeza
Y enjaulare mi corazon entre tus huesos
Dejadme oir como late el corazon
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Rockin' all the time
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Rockin' all the time
Ohhh Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine
Hound dog
Cryin' all the time
You ain't never caught a rabbit
Cryin' all the time
And you ain't no friend of mine
Que lejos estoy del suelo
Donde he nacido
Inmensa nostalgia invade mi pensamiento
Y al verme tan solo y triste
Cual hoja al viento
Quisiera llorar quisiera morir
Como Kurt Cobain de sentimiento
Pero no olviden
Supervitaminarse y mineralizarse
Porque la decadencia esta prohibida
En nuestras jodidas mentes
La decadencia esta prohibida
La decadencia esta prohibida
La decadencia esta prohibida
La caida pierde altura
Por momentos, por momentos
La caida pierde altura
Momento a momento, a momento a momento

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/
