This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
When the full moon turns white that's when I'll come home
I am going out to see what I can sow
And I don't know where I'll go
And I don't know what I'll see
But I'll try not to bring it back home with me
Like the morning sun your eyes will follow me
As you watch me wander, curse the powers that be
Cause all I want is here and now but its already been and gone
Our intentions always last that bit too long
Far far away, no voices sounding, no one around me and
You're still there
Far far away, no choices passing, no time confounds me and you're still there
In the full moons light I listen to the stream
And in between the silence hear you calling me
But I don't know where I am and I don't trust who I've been
And If I come home how will I ever leave
I am going out to see what I can sow
And I don't know where I'll go
And I don't know what I'll see
But I'll try not to bring it back home with me
Like the morning sun your eyes will follow me
As you watch me wander, curse the powers that be
Cause all I want is here and now but its already been and gone
Our intentions always last that bit too long
Far far away, no voices sounding, no one around me and
You're still there
Far far away, no choices passing, no time confounds me and you're still there
In the full moons light I listen to the stream
And in between the silence hear you calling me
But I don't know where I am and I don't trust who I've been
And If I come home how will I ever leave

No Surprises

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/

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.
"When the thorn bush turns white that's when I'll come home I am going out to see what I can sow"
-Exactly what it says — he’s going away from home to ‘see what he can sow.’ Eg,to see what he can make of himself. When the ‘thorn bush turns white’ means probably the changing of the seasons. He intends to return next season.
"And I don't know where I'll go And I don't know what I'll see But I'll try not to bring it back home with me"
-He doesn’t know what he’s setting out to do. He doesn’t know exactly what he’s looking for, but ‘I’ll try not to bring it back home with me’ means that he wants to totally separate himself from the journey. He likes who he is, he doesn’t want the journey to change him, he wants to return who he is.
"Like the morning sun your eyes will follow me As you watch me wander, curse the powers that be Cause all I want is here and now but its already been and gone Our intentions always last that bit too long"
-His loved ones, his mother, girlfriend etc will watch him like the sun. ‘Morning Sun following him’ means that they follow him constantly, they are inescapable. It’s not just talking about them watching him literally, also his thoughts about wanting him to come home. As they watch him, he ‘curses the powers that be,’ eg he is distressed that there is something unknown driving him, and preventing him from coming home. All he wants is ‘here and now’ eg, he just wants to experience life for the moment, but it seems to him that it keeps slipping away from him. I think ‘Our intentions always last that bit too long’ just means that things you do always take longer than you think.
"Far far away, no voices sounding, no one around me and you're still there Far far away, no choices passing, no time confounds me and you're still there"
He’s gone ‘far far away’ and, no one has been talking to him, surrounding him as they did previously, to distract him from his family. Here, he doesn’t have to make choices, he is no longer distracted by the passing of time, and he thinks about his loved ones finally. Presumably for the first time in a long time. Without all those things, there is nothing to distract himself and he can delude himself no longer, he has to think about his family. He’s found he can no longer ignore them as much he’s tried in the past because they wont go away, they are simply ‘still there.’
"In the full moons light I listen to the stream And in between the silence hear you calling me"
-The defining moment of his life — he’s standing by a stream in the full moon by a stream, and he’s overwhelmed with guilt about the knowledge of how much his family want him to come home. ‘In between the silence’ I think implies that it is silent but the voices are really overwhelming. He thinks about going home.
"But I don't know where I am and I don't trust who I've been And If I come home how will I ever leave"
-But he decides not to. He doesn’t know where he is in his life, not literally doesn’t know where he is. He doesn’t trust who he’s been — he done things he’s regretted. But I think the word ‘trust’ implies that he’s not sure- he doesn’t know whether or not he regrets it, because he’s changed so much. If he goes home, he’ll be stuck there like the rest of his family.
