This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Is this the point where we give up?
Is this the point where we give in?
Is this the point where we turn ourselves in?
Is this the time to ask questions?
Is this the time to seek answers?
Is this the time to throw it all in?
When enough is enough that's when you know that you're halfway there
When enough is enough that's when you know that you're halfway there
You're halfway there
That's when you know that you're halfway there
This is the point where we stand up
This is the point where we take back
The things that are keeping us from being free
When enough is enough that's when you know that you're halfway there
When enough is enough that's when you know that you're halfway there
That's when you know that you're halfway there
Your voice the airwaves sent you prayed my life would end,
The wasted time I spent ashamed I called you friend,
Give me one reason, I need a reason, one reason
Is this the point where we give in?
Is this the point where we turn ourselves in?
Is this the time to ask questions?
Is this the time to seek answers?
Is this the time to throw it all in?
When enough is enough that's when you know that you're halfway there
When enough is enough that's when you know that you're halfway there
You're halfway there
That's when you know that you're halfway there
This is the point where we stand up
This is the point where we take back
The things that are keeping us from being free
When enough is enough that's when you know that you're halfway there
When enough is enough that's when you know that you're halfway there
That's when you know that you're halfway there
Your voice the airwaves sent you prayed my life would end,
The wasted time I spent ashamed I called you friend,
Give me one reason, I need a reason, one reason

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.

I think the song is about being pushed around. It's about the moment you realize something has to be done, that you need to stand up for yourself, then you're already halfway there.. You've won half the battle already..
@ChyldeOfTheLotus I feel that's part of it; the other part is to not question your ideals. When chaos hits, it's time to act. Don't wait for someone else to do it, rebel.
I'm in love with this song.
Probably about how no matter what you do your only ever halfway there.
I think that many people here have it backwards. Rather than being about the first half being the hardest, or being pushed around, it is about pushing yourself.
The main theme of the song is indomitable spirit. The ability to carry on beyond your normal limits. Basicaly, when your body screams to quit, and you don't see any way that you can carry on, you find that extra little bit and push yourself that extra distance.
Everyone has this ability, but it is damned hard to exercise. If you feel that it is time to quit, then you are probably only halfway to your actual breaking point. It is the people who can make use of that second half, and go that extra distance that can really do something in this world.
To me, this meaning was very clear very quickly. I have lived by these words for a long time now, long before I had heard this song.
I also like the links with Give It All there. If you wanted to, you could see this one as someone deciding not to give up and to push themselfs further, but not knowing their direction. They can see what is wrong, but not how to address it. In Give It All, their path and drive are both clear, and their lifes have direction and meaning.
I think you nailed it Chylde
Concur. It's a simple fact- deciding something has to be done is half of the job. Doing it is the other half.
This sends a message that people have to inform themselves and make their decisions to do something and not watch the world go by.
wat a great song! wats with only 4 comments.
This is a great song...helped me get through IB exams. I agree with the concept of being pushed around, the drive that someone has whenn the realise that they must make change takes them the other half way.
For the majority of the song, it seems as though the opposition is directed towards government or authority, but the last few lines are clearly directed at a personal friend. It just doesn't seem right to me. It makes me think I've been looking at this song the wrong way or that I've missed something.
My first reaction was that it must've been an anti-government song too, but having read that point I wondered whether it might all also apply to a relationship. Certainly the first few lines could be: "is this the point where we give up/give in/turn ourselves in", asks whether a friendship/relationship is worth continuing. The next three lines then seem to ask whether they should risk it, "throw it all in". After that the whole 'realising/admitting there is a problem and committing yourself to overcoming it is half the challenge' comes in with the "when enough is enough...you're halfway there". Then they take back the things that stop them "being free" (getting along?)<br /> "your voice the airwaves sent, you prayed my life would end" could simply be that the narrator heard the subject say something bad, but that led to them "wasting time, ashamed to call you friend". They simply want one reason to fight to keep the friendship going?<br /> I came here because when it comes to first looking at lyrics I always go blank. Your comment sparked a slight recognition and going through the song it just kind of fitted, but I've probably bended the lyrics to my purpose. <br /> That's why I <3 RA so much though; they come up lines, often just one or two in a song, that anyone can fit to a huge number of situations and yet fit so precisely. <br />
this girl destroyed my self confidence by dropping me for some fake, materialistic pretty boy. i would have loved her forever. Now i think its time i stood back up.... enough is enough.
I think this song is about changing everything wrong with the world. When you have had enough of everything wrong you are only halfway there, the second half is to make a difference and change things.
