This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Why'd you go and break what's already broken?
I try to take a breath, but I'm already choking
How long till this goes away?
I try to remember to forget you
But I break down every time I do
It's left me less than zero
Beat down and bruised
I can't see him with you
Why'd you go and break what's already broken?
I try to take a breath, but I'm already choking
'Cause everywhere I look, I can see how you hold him
How long till this goes away?
I can't seem to get my heart over you
'Cause you creep into everything I do
And now I'm dying to know
How he touches you
I can't see him with you
Why'd you go and break what's already broken?
I try to take a breath, but I'm already choking
'Cause everywhere I look, I can see how you hold him
How long till this goes away?
How long till this goes away?
She said she wants to be friends
I took a big step back
She said, she said she said she's sorry
With one finger, I said, "Fuck that"
I can tell you're lying when your lips move
'Cause of one lie: "It's not me, it's you."
It's left me less than zero
Beat down and bruised
I can't see him with you
Why'd you go and break what's already broken?
I try to take a breath, but I'm already choking
'Cause everywhere I look, I can see how you hold him
How long till this goes away?
Why'd you go and break what's already broken
I try to take a breath but I'm already choking
'Cause everywhere I look, I can see how you hold him
How long till this goes away?
How long till this goes away?
She said she wants to be friends
I took a big step back
She said, she said, she said she's sorry
With one finger...
With one finger, I said fuck that
I try to take a breath, but I'm already choking
How long till this goes away?
I try to remember to forget you
But I break down every time I do
It's left me less than zero
Beat down and bruised
I can't see him with you
Why'd you go and break what's already broken?
I try to take a breath, but I'm already choking
'Cause everywhere I look, I can see how you hold him
How long till this goes away?
I can't seem to get my heart over you
'Cause you creep into everything I do
And now I'm dying to know
How he touches you
I can't see him with you
Why'd you go and break what's already broken?
I try to take a breath, but I'm already choking
'Cause everywhere I look, I can see how you hold him
How long till this goes away?
How long till this goes away?
She said she wants to be friends

Why'd you go and break what's already broken
I try to take a breath but I'm already choking
'Cause everywhere I look, I can see how you hold him
How long till this goes away?
How long till this goes away?
She said she wants to be friends
I took a big step back
She said, she said, she said she's sorry
With one finger...
With one finger, I said fuck that

@[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.
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
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.
virus...the same exact thing happened to me and it sucked big time. but i think thats why i love this song so much--it relates to so many ppl especially when they get mad
