Break Away

Flamboyant Bella

I don't love you
But I love when you call me every night
Too young to love you
But I know this feeling's so right

Ain't all about the sex now, see
Just love you lying next to me
Even talking 'bout the weather is ok
Just say you'll stay
With me

You broke me once
Now I can't stop breaking every time you leave
You leave me shaking
I can't breathe
Coz your love is taking all the air away
I can't see
The sight of you is blinding like electric shocks
Your love's my lightning
I'm so scared
But this shouldn't be frightening
Trying hard to break away

Got me dealing with my insecurities
Like I'm at war with these feelings
I'm feeling
I feel like I'm dreaming
I'm dreaming of you
Dreaming, but I've not got a clue what I'm doing here

You've got me so messed up
All your feelings they're just fucking me up
You're a junkie and a drunk but you're all that I want
Trying hard to let you go

You broke me once
Now I can't stop breaking every time you leave
You leave me shaking
I can't breathe
Coz your love is taking all the air away
I can't see
The sight of you is blinding like electric shocks
Your love's my lightning
I'm so scared
But this shouldn't be frightening
Trying hard to break away

[Instrumental]

You broke me once
Now I can't stop breaking every time you leave
You leave me shaking
I can't breathe
Coz your love is taking all the air away
I can't see
The sight of you is blinding like electric shocks
Your love's my lightning
I'm so scared
But this shouldn't be frightening
Trying hard to break away
[x2]

But I kinda like it
I like it, I like it, I like it, I like it, I like it
Trying hard to break away
But I kinda like it

    I guess this song is about a guy who is in a relationship that he needs to get out of but he can't because he loves her so much and he doesn't care what they do because he just wants to be with her. He's trying to get away but he likes the relationship; "Trying hard to break away But I kinda like it"

    That's just my interpritation.

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.

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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
