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.
I'm trying to keep my feet on the ground
I'm getting to like this feeling I've found
I'm getting to love
The thought of having you around
And I will never let you down
Your friends were all well-meaning
When they said "No one is good enough for you"
They play with your emotions
Dismiss the notion
Do what you have to do
'Cause people don't take chances with their hearts
Since I've met you I am past the hardest part
So remember one thing
I will never let you down
I'm trying to keep my feet on the ground
I'm getting to like this feeling I've found
I'm getting to love
The thought of having you around
And I will never let you down
Sometimes you feel defeated
But, it's OK
You're not the only one
And all the complications
The bad situations
Happen to everyone
It doesn't matter how it ended, or began
Sometimes, the best that you can do is change your plans
I hope you understand that
I will never let you down
I'm trying to keep my feet on the ground
I'm getting to like this feeling I've found
I'm getting to love
The thought of having you around
And I will never let you down
I'm trying to keep my feet on the ground
I'm getting to like this feeling I've found
I'm getting to love
The thought of having you around
And I will never let you down
I'm getting to like this feeling I've found
I'm getting to love
The thought of having you around
And I will never let you down
Your friends were all well-meaning
When they said "No one is good enough for you"
They play with your emotions
Dismiss the notion
Do what you have to do
'Cause people don't take chances with their hearts
Since I've met you I am past the hardest part
So remember one thing
I will never let you down
I'm trying to keep my feet on the ground
I'm getting to like this feeling I've found
I'm getting to love
The thought of having you around
And I will never let you down
Sometimes you feel defeated
But, it's OK
You're not the only one
And all the complications
The bad situations
Happen to everyone
It doesn't matter how it ended, or began
Sometimes, the best that you can do is change your plans
I hope you understand that
I will never let you down
I'm trying to keep my feet on the ground
I'm getting to like this feeling I've found
I'm getting to love
The thought of having you around
And I will never let you down
I'm trying to keep my feet on the ground
I'm getting to like this feeling I've found
I'm getting to love
The thought of having you around
And I will never let you down

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
this song is awesome ! it's just like hey, i'm here for you
this is the best song! i love it so much!
This song really reminds me of one of my friends. He's always been pretty shy around other people and he's been hurt a lot. I guess this song describes my feelings about him and how I want to make sure he knows I'm his friend.
its a bout being a good friend to someone who's going through a rough patch in life or so..hmmm
this song is kick ass! i love it! i cant really escribe what it means to me tho. sorry
The second verse of this song reminds me a lot of a friend that I had who was in some trouble with the law. I just wanted to come out and sing this to him: Sometimes you feel defeated But it's okay You're not the only one And all the complications The bad situations, happen to everyone It doesn't matter how it ended or began Sometimes the best that you can do is change your plans I hope you understand that I will never let you down --Because to me that says that even though you are going through hard times and things aren't looking good, you have to look on the bright side. And sometimes you have to stop what you are doing and just do the right thing. Because even though it probably isn't as fun as the wrong thing, it will help more in the end--
This song just makes you feel good. i love the tune to the song.
their needs to be more of songs like these... a feel good song just to let people know that you're there for them.
Wasn't this song in a movie or TV show? What was it?
To answer crounsa810's question, yes, it was on "America's funniest videos" :)
Anyway..this song is bittersweet for me..because I had a girlfriend who I loved so dearly and she loved me and this was our song..and then one day, even though everything was going quite well in our relationship, everyone was so happy for us, etc...she broke up with me, very suddenly. All I could think of was this song..and the fact that I HAD been let down.
