It is the springtime of my loving
The second season I am to know
You are the sunlight in my growing
So little warmth I've felt before
It isn't hard to feel me glowing
I watched the fire that grew so low, oh

It is the summer of my smiles
Flee from me, keepers of the gloom
Speak to me only with your eyes
It is to you, I give this tune
Ain't so hard to recognize, oh
These things are clear to all from time to time, ooh

Oh, oh

Oh
Talk, talk, talk, talk
Hey, I felt the coldness of my winter
I never thought it would ever go
I cursed the gloom that set upon us, 'pon us, 'pon us
But I know that I love you so
Oh, but I know
That I love you so

These are the seasons of emotion
And like the wind, they rise and fall
This is the wonder of devotion
I see the torch
We all must hold
This is the mystery of the quotient, quotient
Upon us all, upon us all, a little rain must fall
Just a little rain, oh, yeah
Oh, ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah

    Song Meaning

    When it comes to devil bands, as most famous ones are, or their a/r crew are, you must read between the lines, this is how they got the fame: telling stories of satan's fame, in a riddle, a deception.

    LedZep are notorious devil hoes: This is the springtime of my loving - the second season I am to know =(Satan, b4 he was that name, speaking of his love for the woman, who was not named eve, yet. The second season means he knows he will die, as did his "love") You are the sunlight in my growing - so little warmth I've felt before. =(an ode by inspiration to the stunning power womankind has had in the universe. even angels noticed with weakness: Genesis 6) It isn't hard to feel me glowing =(a strange lust in a being who was above homo sapiens no doubt, but woman is the last of God's design, and very powerful, even at 7!!!!!!!)

    • I watched the fire that grew so low. =(satano knew she was going to die, if he moved as he had contemplated, but there would be more little women, growing and dieing, seeding and leaving...)

    It is the summer of my smiles - flee from me Keepers of the Gloom. =(A knock on God's protection of many things, but giving the freedom to fuq up, if you please: freewill. The last laugh... but not really) Speak to me only with your eyes. It is to you I give this tune. =(Plant giving acknowledgement to satan, as his visionary inspirer, lending Plant "his eyes", so plant dedicates the song to the devile) Ain't so hard to recognize - These things are clear to all from time to time. =(Very intense lyric, just like you are feeling now, these things are true, but we cover them with doubt, which is fear, fear of a serial murdering angel, but he's being hunted by a greater angel; Michael)

    Talk Talk - I've felt the coldness of my winter =(preach, preach... ironic statement of satan's death, in a lake of fire, which is just a symbology of being obliterated from existance AND memory, strange it's a cold winter too) I never thought it would ever go. I cursed the gloom that set upon us... But I know that I love you so =(one last reminiscience of the devil, for his weakness, and his "love", which of course, he did not truly love the more beautiful one, woman)

    These are the seasons of emotion and like the winds they rise and fall =(last days, human plight as a result of the above) This is the wonder of devotion - I see the torch we all must hold. =(whether you worship Jehovah, like Jesus did, or satan, both require obedience to the death, except Jehovah requires complete control over your urge to murder back; Obedience to the death, but you cannot kill anyone while you are delivering your vow. Big, big difference between the two!) This is the mystery of the quotient - Upon us all a little rain must fall. =(But not really, it's truly not a mystery. 1. the truth must come out. 2. it has to come out slowly in human terms. the rain in the last sentence, is actually the "reign" of satan, upon which even God was touched. But apparently he going to dry it up in a liake of fire, lol.) But I know, this aint no joke! 100 years, 3 world wars, get the clue? it's very soon, the truth re-appears!

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.

Punchline
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.

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.
