Take it from me
That you're gonna be in love
Just give yourself some time
You're just in a shaky frame of mind
Take it from me
That everyone's not that way
Just out to break your heart
So baby don't fall apart
I know that it hurts sometimes
But girl if you let me ride
I'll make you feel the way you want
I'll make you feel like you're in love
Don't want you to compromise
We can just take our time
Whatever makes you feel you're loved
That's all I want
Take it from me
You're gonna love someone
I can see it in your eyes
Somebody's gotta treat you right
Take it from me
Your life is bound to change
He'll never, ever break your heart
You'll never have to feel that pain
I know that it hurts sometimes
But girl if you let me ride
I'll make you feel the way you want
I'll make you feel like you're in love
Don't want you to compromise
We can just take our time
Whatever makes you feel you're loved
That's all I want
You have this tendency to blame things on yourself
Has it not occurred to you, that it may be someone else
There is an urgency to change the way you feel
Well, I'm here to make the way for you
Girl you're not by yourself
I know that it hurts sometimes
But girl if you let me ride
I'll make you feel the way you want
I'll make you feel like you're in love
Don't want you to compromise
We can just take our time
Whatever makes you feel you're loved
That's all I want

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”

Silent Planet
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
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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
