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.
All the homies they know what I mean
Baby let me show you how I lean
(Like a cholo)
Lay back, bounce in the club
When we do a dance, yeah we do it like what'
Like a, like a cholo
Side to side
Elbows up, side to side
Elbows up, side to side
Elbows up, side to side
Like a cholo
All up in the club, ten deep
Lookin' for some hyenas, we on the creep
I need a bad one, a real freak
Find them at the dance floor, so don't sleep
Damn, I like you, I like you
But a really want her
She's that type, I can tell
Let me get in too deep
Take her back to the hotel
But right now I'm on the move
Show this little momma how a gangsta groove
I don't do a whole lot, just enough
Lean side to side, keep my elbows up
Like this and like that
All the girls know where the real G's at
You could find us way up in the back
Watching that ass bounce like a low low
I lean like a cholo
Side to side
Elbows up, side to side
Elbows up, side to side
Elbows up, side to side
I lean like a cholo
Side to side
Elbows up, side to side
Elbows up, side to side
Elbows up, side to side
Like a cholo
I'm brown, I get down
The girls love how I lean
Like a G to the beat
Blue and white MJ's on my feet
I'm lookin' real good, I'm so hood
Gotta stay clean if you know what I mean
Pockets full of feria, mucho dinero
Look me in my eyes, tell me, 'Papi, te quiero'
Let me do my dance, you do yours
Shaking what you got 'til you're sweating out your pours
Just like that, yeah I like that
I'm a perro tryin' to chase that cat
Hey DJ won't you play that same track'
Wind it back, I can lean to that
Now she wants me
And I ain't going home solo
'Cause I lean like a cholo
Side to side
Elbows up, side to side
Elbows up, side to side
Elbows up, side to side
I lean like a cholo
Side to side
Elbows up, side to side
Elbows up, side to side
Elbows up, side to side
Like a cholo
All the homies they know what I mean
Baby let me show you how I lean
(Like a cholo)
Lay back, bounce in the club
When we do a dance, yeah we do it like what'
(Like a cholo)
All the homies they know what I mean
Baby let me show you how I lean

No Surprises
Radiohead
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
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/
