Born to Run Song
According to the judgement of most artificial intelligence systems, Bruce Springsteens song titled Born to Run is about being resilient and strong in the face of adversity.
It is not only artificial intelligence that is given that impression, I felt like that was the message of the song. We are champions that overcome adversity.

New Kid in town song meaning
According to Don Henley and Glen Frey, the Gegles musicians. The Eagles song 'new kid in town' contrasts the volatility and fickle nature of new found fame and a romantic relationship. You can go from being adored to being ignored.
Perhaps suddenly becoming famous feels like being in love or something like that. If you were famous for something shameful then you wouldn't have that same feeling.

Rotterdam or Anywhere Song meaning
According to Paul Heaton from the Band the Beautiful South, He wrote the song 'Rotterdam or Anywhere' when he went to a very unfriendly bar in Rotterdam in the Netherlands. They didn't like him and were trying to make excuses to make him leave because he was dressed a bit scruffy and looked a bit drunk.
He was pointing out that people are like pickles, dull and all the same. They have a khaki personality. People in most modern cities value superficial things like being well dressed and all behaving the same and don't like people that match up to their status.
When I was a young boy, I thought the song was about bricks and concrete. I'm not sure why, perhaps because bricks are used in every city and made all the buildings look the same. They played that song often in the '90s.

Cashew Apple
Cashew nuts come from the Cashew tree with an accessory fruit attached to it. The fruit is commonly known as a cashew apple.
They're not exported to the north western countries because they don't last very long.
People that eat them consider them to taste like a mixture of a pear and cucumber with lemon juice added. Cashew apples are often boiled in water to make them into a juice drink or Chutney.

Hotel California
According to Don Fedler and Don Hendly, eagles band musicians, the Song 'Hotel California' is not about a hotel or the state of California. It is about transitioning from innocence to maturity in a materialistic society.
The song is about the ups and downs of living the American lifestyle and is filled with metaphorical phrases. Some of the lyrics reflect the life experiences of the band members.
The beauty of this song is that it is like a poem, people listening can add their own meaning to it.
I recall wondering what they meant by "she's Tiffany-Twisted". Perhaps it means their partner is obsessed with expensive designer items.
