This is a song about Spike
He is a bad ass guy
Who just happens to be
A really good friend of mine

Everyone I know yeah
Who knows Spike, too
Would agree when I say the words
That, spike is cool

Yeah, the problem with my friend Spike
He has fallen into
A true love with a nice girl
Who has gotta lot of tattoos

He always talks crazy
Whenever she calls
He always talks like a baby
Yeah it's obvious
She has got him by the balls
She has got him by the balls
She has got him by the balls

My weird little brother James
And his ex-girlfriend
They would talk in those ridiculous voices
We would all be hanging out getting drunk
In the neighborhood
And they both would make those ridiculous noises

He would always talk crazy
Whenever she calls
He always talks like a baby
It is obvious
They have got him by the balls

I hate you when you talk like that
I wish you would act like a grown man
I wish you would act like a grown man
I wish you would act like a grown man
(They have got you by the balls)
(They have got you by the balls)
(They have got you by the balls)
(They have got you by the balls)

You will never see me
Walking that walk
You will never catch me
Talking that baby talk

Which brings us back to Spike
A good guy to have in a fight
Unless he
With his girlfriend, Obnoxious
On a Saturday night

You know he couldn't care less
What anyone thinks
He does not give a damn
No, because he has no shame

He always looks so happy
Just like everything is fine
He is oblivious to the fact
That he has no spine

He always talks crazy
(You have no shame)
Whenever she calls
(You have no shame)
He talks like a baby
(You have no shame)
It is obvious
They have got him by the balls

I hate you when you talk like that
I wish you could act like a grown man
I wish you could act like a grown man
(They have got him by the balls)
(They have got him by the balls)

You will never see me
Walking that walk
You will never see me
Talking that baby talk
(You know it's true
They've got you by the balls)

I am not going to let it get to me
I am not going to let it get to me
I am not going to let it get to me
I am not going to let them get to me
I am not going to let them get to me

They've got you by the balls
They've got you by the balls
They've got you by the balls
They've got you by the balls

    Every time I hear this song, I always think of the anime Cowboy Bebop. The main character is named Spike and he's a badass. The similarities betweet the anime and the song are funny. Don't believe me? Watch the thing and see for yourself.

Little Feat
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”

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.

Ed Sheeran
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.
