Everyone is going fetal
It's the dance the kids all feel
Just get down under your desk
Feels like your mama's nest
Alright
Everyone is going fetal
It's the one that's really real
You're gonna love it if you give it a try
You just lay down like you're gonna die
Alright
Everyone is going fetal
If you feel like your fate is sealed
Then just get down and curl on up
Just like a little helpless pup
Alright
Everyone is going fetal
It's the dance the kids all feel
Just get down under your desk
Feels like your mama's nest
Alright
Everyone is going fetal
It's the one that's really real
You're gonna love it if you give it a try
You just lay down like you're gonna die
Alright
Everyone is going fetal
If you feel like your fate is sealed
Then just get down and curl on up
Just like a little helpless pup
Alright
Everyone is going fetal

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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
i love the energy in this song. but, as is typical with eels, if you really listen to the lyrics, they often do not match the tone of the song. i think this probably relates somewhat to concealing pain from others - they express it in this song - the ridiculous lyric 'going fetal' - just makes you laugh. but then you have lyrics like Everyone is going fetal If you feel like your fate is sealed Then just get down and curl on up Just like a little helpless pup, all right (Hey!) which make you realize the pain behind it all. feeling trapped or try this lyric Everyone is going fetal It's the one that's really real You're gonna love it if you give it a try You just lay down like you're gonna die, all right (Hey!) yet the tone is totally rockin and drivin the whole way through. similar pattern with their song on the same album, "hey man (now you're really living)" love the eels, man!
This ones actually easy to me, its an upbeat song about being so sad that you just wanna crawl up into a little ball and cry...
Or, actually, it could be possibly poking fun at people/kids that like to over exagerate their sadness... "Everyone is going fetal It's the dance the kids all feel Just get down under your desk Feels like your mama's nest, all right "
The gap between the sound and the lyrics is just funny
You can't go wrong with Tom Waits crying like a baby and lines like "You're gonna love it if you give it a try, you just lay down like you're gonna die, all right." The meaning is pretty straightfoward and the upbeat music is ironic.
