This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Are we running so far
From facing the numbers who
Crash in an empty room?
False visions we search
And reflections consume
But the mirror is everyone's tomb
What we'll find, the waste of time
Self-hating days in the image maze
Losing sight of our roots in the empty shells
Where everyone fights themselves
Everyone fights themselves
We're tired of looking out from blank eyes
I get so tired of waiting, tired of waiting
Outside, and watch the good life in the window
Blank eyes, I get so tired of waiting, tired of waiting
Outside, another answer for our crimes
And I get so tired of waiting for it
To find the truth in everything rejected
And I get so tired of waiting, tired of waiting
Another day between the lines
Rooftop to rooftop, screaming out into the sky
We fight the war inside us
Turning answers into questions
Through all this vanity we'll fight 'til soul rebuild
Fools gold, what we've had
The symptoms of a world gone mad
The world lies, the masses cry
Children's lives spent sewing up our cheap disguise
Losing sight of out roots in the cathode rays
Amnesia for the end of our days
Amnesia for the end of our days
We're tired of looking out from blank eyes
I get so tired of waiting, tired of waiting
Outside, until it's nothing special
Blank eyes, I get so tired of waiting, tired of waiting
Outside, another answer for our crimes
And I get so tired of waiting for it
To find the truth in everything rejected
And I get so tired of waiting, tired of waiting
Another day between the lines
We're all gone dead, what we reject
We're all gone dead, what we reject
We're all gone dead, what we reject
Wake up everyone
Blank eyes, tired of waiting
Outside, here I am
Blank eyes, tired of waiting, tired of wasting all away
Outside, here I am
From facing the numbers who
Crash in an empty room?
False visions we search
And reflections consume
But the mirror is everyone's tomb
What we'll find, the waste of time
Self-hating days in the image maze
Losing sight of our roots in the empty shells
Where everyone fights themselves
Everyone fights themselves
We're tired of looking out from blank eyes
I get so tired of waiting, tired of waiting
Outside, and watch the good life in the window
Blank eyes, I get so tired of waiting, tired of waiting
Outside, another answer for our crimes
And I get so tired of waiting for it
To find the truth in everything rejected
And I get so tired of waiting, tired of waiting
Another day between the lines
Rooftop to rooftop, screaming out into the sky
We fight the war inside us
Turning answers into questions
Through all this vanity we'll fight 'til soul rebuild
Fools gold, what we've had
The symptoms of a world gone mad
The world lies, the masses cry
Children's lives spent sewing up our cheap disguise
Losing sight of out roots in the cathode rays
Amnesia for the end of our days
Amnesia for the end of our days
We're tired of looking out from blank eyes
I get so tired of waiting, tired of waiting
Outside, until it's nothing special
Blank eyes, I get so tired of waiting, tired of waiting
Outside, another answer for our crimes
And I get so tired of waiting for it
To find the truth in everything rejected
And I get so tired of waiting, tired of waiting
Another day between the lines
We're all gone dead, what we reject
We're all gone dead, what we reject
We're all gone dead, what we reject
Wake up everyone
Blank eyes, tired of waiting
Outside, here I am
Blank eyes, tired of waiting, tired of wasting all away
Outside, here I am

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
I think this song is about globalization, mostly because the music video was. correct me if im wrong
this music is about how ppl are so obsesed with there image. And how ppl try to cover up who they actully are with fancy clothing and stuff
ya agree with ya, and i think beyond that it talks about how lame fashion obsessed people cant even fool themselves... 'the mirror is everyones tomb'
I dunno i'd have to say this is my favorite.
y so few comments? this song is amazing
definately about the big cover up under corporate shit - an exceptional song
I hate this song... infact I hate all of dead fm, i think it's terrible compared to their older stuff.
shit wrong song....
"losing sights of our roots in the cathode rays" love it, I don't exactly know what the artist meant by that line but I interpret it rather profoundly. A cathode ray was a set-up used by JJ Thompson when he discovered the existence and properties of electrons. The first solid evidence of the existence of subatomic particles. So, thanks to the cathode tube and its revelation, we were able to delve in much deeper into the science of chemistry. So within the cathode ray, we lost vision of what is really important in life, the real challenges we as the human race face. more later, gotta run!
So, I've found the cathode ray reference to be more blatant, I must have been overanalyzing. Cathode Ray Tubes (CRT's) are employed into your traditional televisions. <br /> So the reference is therefore speaking of how many hitch themselves to unreality in their living rooms.<br /> Lesson of the day from Strike Anywhere: fuck television.
This song is about media consolidation as said by Mr Barnett himself the last 2 nights
