Post-Boredom

Every Time I Die

I did a terrible thing
And somebody should do something about it
I'm haunted by an eternal return
And I never should have allowed it

I broke my own heart
I'm trying to forgive myself

But if it gets too close I gotta kill it
I'm gonna need your help
My annihilation, my annihilation, my annihilation
My annihilation kicked off post-boredom
Yeah

I don't want be a better liar
Don't want to make you think
That what you get is what you see just because you want it
All this muddy water ain't deep

I broke my own heart I'm trying to convince myself
That I can suffer if I want, motherfucker
Just put me back on your shelf
My annihilation, my annihilation, my annihilation
My annihilation started before I did
My annihilation, my annihilation, my annihilation
My annihilation ended before we did

I gave you nothing
You want more?
You'll get more nothing

Come on and give a big man a little thrill
Come on and give a sick man his poison pill
I don't want no harm

I've done it all wrong for so long it feels okay
From up here the parties and funerals, they look the same
When every morning after is the same day
Every morning after is the same day

I want one more last chance, last chance
Make me another mistake
All I can take is everything that I have given away
I walked in with one foot out the door
You knew that I was not gonna stay

I broke my own heart
I'm trying to forgive myself
I don't give a goddamn about the magic
Just put me under your spell

My annihilation, my annihilation, my annihilation
My annihilation kicked off post-boredom

I gave you nothing
You want more?
You'll get more

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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/
