This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Love and hate was in the air
Like pollen from a flower
Somewhere in April time
They add another hour
I guess I better think up a way to spend my time
Just when I'm ready to sit inside, it's summertime
Should I go swimming or get a friend to hang around
It's back to summer, it's back to basics, hang around
Getting drunk out on the beach
Or playing in a band
And getting out of school
Meant getting out of hand
Was this your celebrated summer?
Was that your celebrated summer?
Was this your celebrated summer?
Then the sun disintegrates
Between a wall of clouds
I summer where I winter at
No one is allowed there
Do you remember when the first snowfall fell?
When summer barely had a snowball's chance in hell?
Was this your celebrated summer?
Was this your celebrated summer?
Was this your celebrated summer?
Do you remember when the first snowfall fell?
Was that your celebrated summer?
Like pollen from a flower
Somewhere in April time
They add another hour
I guess I better think up a way to spend my time
Just when I'm ready to sit inside, it's summertime
Should I go swimming or get a friend to hang around
It's back to summer, it's back to basics, hang around
Getting drunk out on the beach
Or playing in a band
And getting out of school
Meant getting out of hand
Was this your celebrated summer?
Was that your celebrated summer?
Was this your celebrated summer?
Then the sun disintegrates
Between a wall of clouds
I summer where I winter at
No one is allowed there
Do you remember when the first snowfall fell?
When summer barely had a snowball's chance in hell?
Was this your celebrated summer?
Was this your celebrated summer?
Was this your celebrated summer?
Do you remember when the first snowfall fell?
Was that your celebrated summer?

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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
No Surprises

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.

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
It's a killer when this song breaks down in the middle for the acoustic part. "then the sun disintegrates between a wall of clouds". Being from Minneapolis I believe Effect is right on the money. 3 months of good weather out of the year and Summer becomes a very precious commodity in Minnesota where each warm day you try to make the most out of it.
@cmckinley I believe that’s PART of the song’s “meaning”, the preciousness/importance/stress (STRESS<br /> is a good adjective for this post; has double<br /> Meaning here) people - Older people, those in positions<br /> Of authority, those who have the power to “add another hour” to the day (so that it can be used against you yet again, as in, “Daylight savings time isn’t a THING just so you’ll have another hour to waste every day”. GTFO of the house”) - place upon warmer weather, so that it becomes just another thing your parents make you do. <br /> <br /> “Was THIS your (so-called) ‘Celebrated<br /> Summer’?!?…Pfftttt. All hype…
