This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Hitler and
Napoleon
Fought thirty years
To have her hand
Bitter ends
Thy will be damned
Disney magic
Kingdom come
After all we've won, is this
The state we are reduced to?
It might make you sick at first
It takes some getting used to
Her nails are polished
But her hands are tied
You make us thrive
Court
Is on
The secret show
The ?
And when we bomb
The foreign towns
Will she smile
Upside down?
Walk her through an aisle soon
With cigarettes and needles
In the face of this devotion
We are merely equals
Take her in your
Arm like cyanide
A long black car
Is parked outside
To take away the bride
A tisket, a tasket
A green and yellow basket
A tisket, a tasket
A green and yellow basket
Attract it, attack it
Strike first and ask it after
Attract it, attack it
Strike first and ask it after
In the ruins
Of this brave new
World we have
Uncovered
Remains the vestige
Of the bride
Who stared aghast
And wondered
Who'd have thought
We'd lose this easy fight
It seems she's sleeping
But her eyes are wide
Won't someone wake the bride?
Goth!

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.

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/
the "A tisket, a tasket A green and yellow basket" part is from a children's song. "A tisket, a tasket, a green and yellow basket, I wrote a letter to my love, and on the way I dropped it. I dropped it, I dropped it, The green and yellow basket A little child picked it up and Put it in his pocket."
hitler and napoleon fought thirty years to have her hand
bitter ends thy will be done disney magic kingdom come
after all we've won is this the state we are reduced to it might make you sick at first it takes some getting used to
her nails are polished but her hands are tied
you may kiss the bride
court is on the secret show the liver time
and when we bomb the foreign town will she smile upside down
walk her through an isle strewn with cigarettes and needles in the face of this devotion we are merely equals
take her in your arm like cyanide a long black car is parked outside
to take away the bride
a tisket a tasket a green and yellow basket a tisket a tasket a green and yellow basket
attract it attack it strike first and ask it after attract it attack it strike first and ask it after
in the ruins of this brave new world we have uncovered
remains the vestige of the bride who stared agahst and wondered
who'd've thought we'd lose this easy fight it seems she's sleeping but her eyes are wide
won't someone wake the bride
The line is
"Cold, his hand The secret show The little dame"
From what I can hear. It makes the most sense given the title.
I think the Bride is representative of the pride of a country in the aftermath of a terrible war. An abundance of words associated with war and destruction is present, as well as an uneasy alliance with another country.
My first thought was that the country is France or Russia. The whole whatnot with the Fatherland (Germany) and Mother Russia.
I think this song is about how women, throughout history, have been victims of sexist ideals and sexist social structures.
On her website she posted other song demos in which she originally wanted to use on WKAP with a little description as to the meaning, memory, or other tidbit about it. This is what she said about it:
can you hear me saying "goth!" at the end of this song? you can? i can. i left that in there on purpose. sorry. i had to. ben really liked this tune because it was very different in structure to the rest of them, but i squirmed at the gothiness of it. i wrote this one when i was about 18 or 19 and though i liked the melody, the lyrics were just too gloom and doom to put on the record. so there you have it. it does, aside from it's gothiness, contain some of my favorite lyrics, so i don't mind having it out in the world.
