This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I: If She Runs
If she runs, let her run, run, run
Just hope that she comes back
If she breaks, let her break, break, break
Let apologies attract
And is she's free, let her be, let her be
She's not in such bad company
The big man's still got her name written on the wall
If she cries, let her cry, cry, cry
'Till there isn't anymore
If she laps, let her crack, crack, crack
If that's what she's looking for
And if she waits, let her wait, let her wait
You'll have to leave this one to fate
It can't ever be too late, when she comes to call
It's hard - living with such uncertainty
It's hard - climbing the statue of liberty
It's hard - calming the beatle inside of me
It's hard - missing my max and melody
II: Mr. Wonderful
Her lips were ruby red
She had a pretty head
Not even once did she miss Sunday school
Remember what mama said, "Stick to the rules"
This boy was something else
Someone she knew so well
Echoes of snakes in paradise
Strangest fire burning in his eyes.
His name is wonderful
And it's wonderful, just to be near him
His name is majesty
And his majesty's requesting your presence
He took her for a ride
Into the starless night
Talked about far away places he's been
He could take her down to the city of sin
"Grab it while you are young
trust me there's nothing wrong"
But she feard what was 'round the bend
Said "thank you, but no thank's, 'cause I've got a friend"
His name is wonderful
And it's wonderful, just to be near him
His name is majesty
And his majesty's requesting your presence
III: Lost and Found Pt. 1
Don't you think if you could be lost
Don't you think you can be found
Don't you think if you were the world, you'd turn it around
Don't you start looking behind
Better stand up 'cause this is your time
Don't you think that you'd better start changing your mind
IV: Temple of the Gods
In the Temple of the Gods
We can get it on
In the Temple of the Gods
We will make our home
Far from these Boulevards
We will plunge headlong
In the Temple of the Gods
Yeah we will sing this song
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Give up all the reasons that you know
Slide down where the time moves nice and slow
Ease back and relax
No figures and no fax
Awakening the stranger in your soul
Yeah, yeah!
In the Temple of the Gods
We can get it on
In the Temple of the Gods
We will make our home
Far from these Boulevards
We will plunge headlong
In the Temple of the Gods
We will sing this song
V: Motherless Children/If She Runs (Reprise)
Left the countryside for the city
She resides now on the second floor
No more gardening in the backyard
Busy keepin' the wolves from the door
Motherless children, ain't going nowhere
Running in circles, time after time
Careless, confused, frozen and faithless
Dreaming this dream to easen your mind
And if she runs
Let her run
Come on 'cause now the time has come
The big man's got the mother and the son
Written on the wall
Yeah...
Don't want to hear it now...
fade 'till end
If she runs, let her run, run, run
Just hope that she comes back
If she breaks, let her break, break, break
Let apologies attract
And is she's free, let her be, let her be
She's not in such bad company
The big man's still got her name written on the wall
If she cries, let her cry, cry, cry
'Till there isn't anymore
If she laps, let her crack, crack, crack
If that's what she's looking for
And if she waits, let her wait, let her wait
You'll have to leave this one to fate
It can't ever be too late, when she comes to call
It's hard - living with such uncertainty
It's hard - climbing the statue of liberty
It's hard - calming the beatle inside of me
It's hard - missing my max and melody

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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
American Town

Ed Sheeran

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Probably the best song, IMO, in the album...
To those who are not familiar with TransAtlantic(transatlanticweb.com), it is a supergroup. Consist of band members from Dream Theater, Marillion, Spock's Beard and The Flower Kings.
GREAT song.
I wish they didn't include the beginning "jam" intro though. You know, when they restart again.
I think Part 2 (Mr Wonderful) is about some guy trying to seduce a girl ("Grab it while you are young trust me there's nothing wrong") who was this perfect daughter (Not even once did she miss Sunday school Remember what mama said, "Stick to the rules") and her saying no to him (But she feard what was 'round the bend Said "thank you, but no thank's, 'cause I've got a friend")
I think the whole song is about that girl
