This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
CHORUS: If they drop a bomb on us, we fucking deserve it,/ We know we got it coming, we fucking deserve it,/ They got a comfy set up, they'll try to preserve it./ We had the early warning, we can sit and observe it.
Sliding down guidelines, cradle to the grave,/ All the willing saviours see that we behave./ Everybody knows they're there, see them all around./ Lots of little people who'll put you in the ground. Well, take a burning issue and stuff it up your arse./ They've fucked you with a furrowed brow, shitting broken class,/ Marching down the 'dilly to demonstrate again,/ While the men who plan the holocaust are pissed out of their brain./ Brain of pasty people, who’ll bomb it all to fuck,/ You can be a victim or they'll let you try your luck,/ Pass it on to others, ship it down the line,/ Leave the world in ruins, you know we've got the time.
CHORUS
Cop-outs look for motives...Freudian analyst,/ Come on, Mr. Horror, what do you make of this?/ Won't find many people without their rationale,/ Any handy concept to hang upon the wall,/ Soldier got his enemy,/ Police have got the state,/ Family have got home sweet home,/ SS got red tape./ MP's got his duty,/ Priest has got his sin,/ Everybody finds a hole,/ To drop somebody in./Seeking out wisdom in the ironies of life,/ Weighing up subtleties, fiddling with the ties,/ No-one else decides for you, whether to or not,/ You make an easy target if you're running on the spot.
CHORUS
Someone's been training, flexing their muscles,/ Getting in practice, irrelevant tussles,/ Given a march, or a quiet Sunday demo,/ They wait till the state put the finger on you.
Peeping through a frown, your humanity in rags,/ Playing the loser till the sense of purpose sags,/ They can deal with heroes, watch the bleeders run,/It's only your head keeps the target from the gun,/ No-one else decides for you, whether to or not,/ You make an easy target, if you're running on the spot...

Hayalperest
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.
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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
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/
