Pure love

It's twelve past midnight, don't close your eyes
Your soul's half alive, and I'll be by your side
I've come to take you there, show you how to care
Just be aware, that you'll have to share

I want your love, I want it tonight
I'm taking your heart, so don't you fight

I'll be your answer, I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy, your favorite dish

From the back to the middle and around again
I'm gonna be there 'til the end
One hundred percent pure love
From the back to the middle and around again
I'm gonna be there 'til the end
One hundred percent pure love

You saw a brand new high, thought that you could fly
Did I hear you cry, or did you like the ride
You call my name again, no it's not a sin
I'll show you how to win, and where I've been

I want your love, I want it tonight
I'm taking your heart, so don't you fight

I'll be your answer, I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy, your favorite dish

From the back to the middle and around again
I'm gonna be there 'til the end
One hundred percent pure love
From the back to the middle and around again
I'm gonna be there 'til the end
One hundred percent pure love

From the back to the middle and around again
I'm gonna be there 'til the end
One hundred percent pure love

From the back to the middle and around again
I'm gonna be there 'til the end
One hundred percent pure love

You'll never have to run away
You'll always have a friend to play
You'll never go out on your own
In me you will find a home, home

From the back to the middle and around again
I'm gonna be there 'til the end
One hundred percent pure love
From the back to the middle and around again
I'm gonna be there 'til the end
One hundred percent pure love

From the back to the middle and around again
I'm gonna be there 'til the end
From the back to the middle and around again
From the back to the middle and around again

Ba-back to the middle and, back to the middle and
Back to the middle and, back to the middle and
Back to the middle and around again
Back to the middle and, back to the middle and
Back to the middle and around again
I'm gonna be there 'til the end
Ba-back to the middle and around again
Ba-back to the middle and around again
Ba-back to the middle and, back to the middle and
Back to the middle and, back to the middle and
Back to the middle and around again
Ba-back to the middle and, back to the middle and

Don't you want it, don't you want it?
Don't you want it, don't you want it?
Don't you want it, don't you want it?
Don't you want it, don't you want it?

Don't you want it, don't you want it?
Don't you want it, don't you want it?
Don't you want it, don't you want it?
Don't you want it, don't you want it?

Don't you want it, don't you want it?
Don't you want it, don't you want it?
Don't you want it, don't you want it?
Don't you want it, don't you want it?

Don't you want it, don't you want it?
Don't you want it, don't you want it?
Don't you want it, don't you want it?
Don't you want it, don't you want it?

Play, play, play, play, play, play
Play, play, play, play, play, play

You always have a friend to play

Play, play, play, play, play, play
Play, play, play, play, play, play

Not ten, not twenty, more than thirty, baby
I'm given a hundred percent
Pure love
I'm talkin' twenty, talkin' thirty, more than forty, baby
I'm given a hundred percent
Pure love

    My Interpretation

    The experience of pure love is mutual play. My friend makes me laugh, learn, and think. My friend reminds me how to live in each moment.

    You can never run out of love. That’s silly. It’s not a sin to love your friends with passion.

    That doesn’t mean it’s safe. Love is never safe… but I want it! 100% And I trust this pure love.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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
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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
