This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Cold, cold comfort, this ground's cold comfort.
but we'll make a home here, we'll make a home here.
calling captains of industry,
your ships have been grounded.
your crews have perished in the rocky seas
now we'll see to their ashes.
make our names here.
we'll make our names here,
but we'll fake our glory.
(and we'll fake our glory)
the clock has come unwound
so the rescue's abandoned.
our ships have all run aground
killing sinners and sailors.
bide time until the resurrection.
well i was interred and i was exhumed,
then i was returned to the ground.
The ground.
The cold, cold ground.
i heard somebody brought down our last defense and ran us aground tonight.
(this ship is going down!)
i hope everybody called for an ambulance,
to take us home tonight.
(this ship's going down!)
drop our anchor, we'll drop our anchor.
(and we'll drop our anchor, we'll drop our anchor!)
we'll sink this city, we'll sink this city.
(and we'll sink this city, we'll sink this city!)
the kings of prosody wearing crowns on their teeth
because we need eleven hours of clemency before our coffin's rejected.
bide time until the resurrection.
well i was interred and i was exhumed,
then i was returned to the ground.
The ground.
The cold, cold ground.
i heard somebody brought down our last defense and ran us aground tonight.
(this ship is going down!)
i hope everybody called for an ambulance,
to take us home tonight.
(this ship's going down!)
drop anchor and build up a monument
we're giving it up to the sunken states.
this ship is going down.
but we'll make a home here, we'll make a home here.
calling captains of industry,
your ships have been grounded.
your crews have perished in the rocky seas
now we'll see to their ashes.
make our names here.
we'll make our names here,
but we'll fake our glory.
(and we'll fake our glory)
the clock has come unwound
so the rescue's abandoned.
our ships have all run aground
killing sinners and sailors.
bide time until the resurrection.
well i was interred and i was exhumed,
then i was returned to the ground.
The ground.
The cold, cold ground.
i heard somebody brought down our last defense and ran us aground tonight.
(this ship is going down!)
i hope everybody called for an ambulance,
to take us home tonight.
(this ship's going down!)
drop our anchor, we'll drop our anchor.
(and we'll drop our anchor, we'll drop our anchor!)
we'll sink this city, we'll sink this city.
(and we'll sink this city, we'll sink this city!)
the kings of prosody wearing crowns on their teeth
because we need eleven hours of clemency before our coffin's rejected.
bide time until the resurrection.
well i was interred and i was exhumed,
then i was returned to the ground.
The ground.
The cold, cold ground.
i heard somebody brought down our last defense and ran us aground tonight.
(this ship is going down!)
i hope everybody called for an ambulance,
to take us home tonight.
(this ship's going down!)
drop anchor and build up a monument
we're giving it up to the sunken states.
this ship is going down.

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”
No Surprises
Radiohead
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
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.
"the kings of prosody wearing crowns on their teeth because we need eleven hours of clemency before our coffin's rejected."
it's actually, "we need eleven hours of clemency before our offer's rejected."
