somebody help me hold up this fallen sky (a wall of sound). your pants so tight even god can't think right (is what i found). this broken smoke and i are gonna get some air (on the ground). what could be louder than a whole year? goddamn it i'll play my favorite song again. my head is broken nothing is wrong with me this time. i want it, i believe it, the next craze will be the one that gets shot down. my heart has broken nothing is wrong with me this time. i'm no longer near what's all around (you're all around). burning down what the world just found (in a wall of sound). i owe you nothing but this subtle nerve (all for now). the angels die and the criminals return.goddamn it i'll play my favorite song again. my head is broken nothing is wrong with me this time. i want it, i believe it, and i'll go to hell just to get it now. my heart has broken nothing is wrong with me this time. is that all you talk about? my head has broken, nothing is wrong this time. is that all you need?

    On a few more listens-through, I heard "is that all you need" around 2:50 - 3:00 when at least one other person is screaming.

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/

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
