Strike

Nikki Flores

Rollin in my ride I saw my brother's girl Christina
She said that there gonna be a party down at Misty's later
Felling lonely down and so confused I told her meet me there by two
So I pulled up at the party jeans all painted on
Escada pumps Gucci hat got my cellular
Then I saw him he was too damn fine I knew I had to make him mine

So here's the deal
Yeah my baby keeps it real
He knows exactly how I feel
Yes I'm in love
He's a roughneck with a bad boy independence
Fly yeah he gives me such a high
I ain't got nothing left to hide
He knows what he's got
Strike while the iron's hot

Sat with my girls looking straight over at his direction
Party was bumpin yeah he got me feeling our connection
Caught my eye as he passed me by and asked me how I'm doing tonight
My heart was racing couldn't see nobody else but him
As he moved closer he began to make me weak inside
But then I knew boy that it was you
You knew exactly what to do

So here's the deal
Yeah my baby keeps it real
He knows exactly how I feel
Yes I'm in love
He's a roughneck with a bad boy independence
Fly yeah he gives me such a high
I ain't got nothing left to hide
He knows what he's got
Strike while the iron's hot

He tells me "que vistoso, un diezmo"
Asi es como mi amor me dice que me quiere
"que vistoso, un diezmo, baya"
That's how my baby tell me that he love me
"que vistoso, un diezmo"
Asi es como mi amor me dice que me quiere
"que vistoso, un diezmo"
Strike while the iron's hot

So here's the deal
Yeah my baby keeps it real
He knows exactly how I feel
Yes I'm in love
He's a roughneck with a bad boy independence
Fly yeah he gives me such a high
I ain't got nothing left to hide
He knows what he's got
Strike while the iron's hot

So here's the deal
Yeah my baby keeps it real
He knows exactly how I feel
Yes I'm in love
He's a roughneck with a bad boy independence
Fly yeah he gives me such a high
I ain't got nothing left to hide
He knows what he's got
Strike while the iron's hot

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
