This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Is there something
Oh, anything will do my love
Asked the girl who's on the phone
That's the girl who's never home
Say something good
There's a wilderness of row
That's the girl on the phone
That's the girl who's never home
And your friends they were so close, close
Say you will stay
Forgot what I came here for
Passed some signs on the road
Telling me I'm far from home
Friendships out here, myself I disappear
That's the girl all cold
That's the man who's looking on
And your friends they were so close
One by one they didn't stay
Drift away like rolling sea
One by one they drift away
One of these days
Oh
One of these days
One of these days
Your friends they were so close
One by one they didn't stay
Drift away like rolling seas
Day by day drift away
And the people who are close
Are the ones who miss you'll the most
One of these days, I'll blow away
One of these days, I'll blow away
Oh, anything will do my love
Asked the girl who's on the phone
That's the girl who's never home
Say something good
There's a wilderness of row
That's the girl on the phone
That's the girl who's never home
And your friends they were so close, close
Say you will stay
Forgot what I came here for
Passed some signs on the road
Telling me I'm far from home
Friendships out here, myself I disappear
That's the girl all cold
That's the man who's looking on
And your friends they were so close
One by one they didn't stay
Drift away like rolling sea
One by one they drift away
One of these days
Oh
One of these days
One of these days
Your friends they were so close
One by one they didn't stay
Drift away like rolling seas
Day by day drift away
And the people who are close
Are the ones who miss you'll the most
One of these days, I'll blow away
One of these days, I'll blow away

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.

@[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.
Maybe the lead singer dated the subject of the song too. I definitely did.
To me it's about a relationship in which the girl is more devote to her friends than the relationship itself. Meanwhile the guy in the relationship has no friends, is a relative isolate and due to this fact is seen to be strange and is eventually alienated. Meanwhile, the song's lyrics suggest that eventually all of the girl's friends with whom she is so close fade away one by one becoming nothing once again. He who is nothing, had nothing before and had nothing after already knows this problem too well as in the past he has had friends that drift away and realizes that in the end everyone is alone.
Am I totally off the mark in thinking that this song has sections in it that sound very similar to Pink Floyd?
There is also a song by Floyd called 'One of these days', although nothing like this one.
Good song, but unsure what it may mean. =/ Any ideas?
Somehow I felt this song was about these two people who's friends have come and gone much like it always is. They both are hoping that one day they can both find someone who can stick around. He wants the girl to be that person for him but maybe he realizes no one ever does stick around for long. Sort of depressing but that's how it sounds. I love this song especially the beginning the singer's voice is brilliant!
AdanaC called it.
Beautifully done song.
Such a sad song :( In my opinion i feel it is about isolation. Yes he is with a girl or maybe he just wants a girl and as time passes he sees that nothing happens. Everything is still the same,there is no way for him to express his feelings and his friends just as time passes by are becoming alienated...
One of these days I'll blow away :(
