I gotta a little hunch
That there is somethin'
Goin' on now
The clothes I bought
The friends I got
My teacher had a meltdown

Then I look at me
And I start to see
An I voice inside
Tells me what I must do

Wake up who knew
It's me its you
Get a clue
It's there inside of you
The girls: oh yeah lets go
Get a clue
Theirs nothing can't do
Nothin's ever quite what it seems
Just look a little closer at me
Wake up who knew
Its me its you
Get a clue

That's the way it goes now
Did you ever see the world around you
Shift before your eyes
Your eyes, your eyes
The people you ignore before
They took you by surprise
Your eyes, your eyes

Then you look at me
And I start to see
That somethin' happens
When I'm next to you

Oh yeah, lets go
That's the way it goes now
Oh yeah, lets go
The first one came on a Tuesday afternoon
When I first saw you
The next one came to my surprise
When I found out what I had to do
Take a photograph of me
Hang it in a gallery
Sit around and watch tv
Turn around and then you'd look at me
Yeah, yeah

Yappapie
Oh yeah lets go
I gotta little hunch
That there is somethin'
Goin' on now
The clothes I bought
The friends I got
My teacher had a meltdown

Get a clue
It's there in side of you
The girls: oh yeah lets go
Get a clue
Theirs nothing you can't do
Nothings ever quite what it seems
Just look a little closer at me
Wake up who knew
Its me its you
Get a clue

Oh yeah lets go
Get a clue
Oh yeah lets go
Wake up who knew
Its me its you
Get a clue

Oh yeah lets go
That's the way it goes now
Oh yeah lets go
Wake up who knew
Its me its you
Get a clue

    I honestly disagree with everyone's opinions thus far. I think that it's close to obvious what the meaning is. Essentially, the girl likes the guy, he doesn't realize it, and then he does, and realizes that he has the same feelings toward her.

    Evidence? How kind of you to ask:

    "The people you ignored before, they took you by surprise."

    Pretty self-explanatory.

    "The first one came on a Tuesday afternoon when I first saw you..."

    By the first "one" he's talking about the first clue, as to how she feels about him.

    If anyone's seen the movie (which I have, about a year or so ago though), doesn't it end with Lohan's character and the other male character in a relationship that they relized was there all along, but didn't 'get a clue' to see it? That's how I remember it.

Step
Ministry
Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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/
