All this pressure is building up
And there's a chance it's gonna explode
And I can't promise how when the weather
I can tell you it will happen for sure

Its a crazy world that's spining fast
Round and round and round we go
Just keep your eyes on me now love
Never stay never let go (No)

[Chorus:]
Shit is out of control
It's out of control
And I don't care what is happening
No getting frustrated
I wanna be sedated
So I don't care love come with me
Yeah it's doing my head in
You're doing my head in
And I can't change the state of emotion

Bang Bang Boom
And energy's in the air
And the universe is speaking to me
And it's telling me telling you to get closer
Love lay it on me

It's the same old feeling
That I've been holding in
It's a feeling that's gotta hold
I need your love anarchy
So let me in and never let go (No)

[Chorus]

It's insane how it feels
It's insane how this feels
And I'm in and out of
And I'm losing my mind
It's insane how it feels
It's insane how it feels
And I'm feelin pressure
And it's buildin up inside

It's insane how it feels
It's insane how it feels
And I'm losing my head
Yeah I'm losing my mind
It's insane how it feels
It's insane how it feels
And I'm feel the pressure
And it's ready to blow

Shit is out of control
It's out of control
And I don't care what is happening
No getting fustrated
I wanna be sedated

So I don't care love come with me
Yeah it's doing my head in
You're doing my head in
And I can't change (hey)

Shit is out of control
It's out of control
And I don't care what is happening (Hey)

Shit is out of control
It's out of control
And I don't care what is happening (hey)

Shit is out of control
Out of control

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.

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.

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/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Blue
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.
