This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
My heavy head is full of debris
Sometimes I wish this city would
sink in the sea
'cause even when I find the love it's fake
and everything I want to touch
would break
In some strange way
it's like you're never there (so don't say you'll see)
You just float by (don't say you'll see)
crawling in the air
I've been so tired (don't say you'll see)
I can barely breathe
Open your eyes (me)
Once and try to see
This skeleton town
with snakes in the grass
where every single breath you take might be your last
And even when you find the love
it's fake
and everything you try to touch will break
so don't say you'll see me
don't say you'll see
don't say you'll see me me me
Our crooked feet
burn up the street
and every time we're passing by
you feel the heat
of 50,000 burning souls asleep
There's 50,000 crying out to me
so don't say you'll see me
don't say you'll see (ohhh)
don't say you'll see me me me
In some strange way
it's like you're never there (burn up the city)
You just float by (burn the city)
crawling in the air
I've been so tired (woah)
I can barely breathe
Open your eyes
Once and try to see
Sometimes I wish this city would
sink in the sea
'cause even when I find the love it's fake
and everything I want to touch
would break
In some strange way
it's like you're never there (so don't say you'll see)
You just float by (don't say you'll see)
crawling in the air
I've been so tired (don't say you'll see)
I can barely breathe
Open your eyes (me)
Once and try to see
This skeleton town
with snakes in the grass
where every single breath you take might be your last
And even when you find the love
it's fake
and everything you try to touch will break
so don't say you'll see me
don't say you'll see
don't say you'll see me me me
Our crooked feet
burn up the street
and every time we're passing by
you feel the heat
of 50,000 burning souls asleep
There's 50,000 crying out to me
so don't say you'll see me
don't say you'll see (ohhh)
don't say you'll see me me me
In some strange way
it's like you're never there (burn up the city)
You just float by (burn the city)
crawling in the air
I've been so tired (woah)
I can barely breathe
Open your eyes
Once and try to see

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
No Surprises

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

“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.
Head > Heels

Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
at the chicago show, saen fitzgerald told the crowd that this song was about a small town in ireland. obviously one that has gone through war and is still suffering from it.
and ps. snakes in the grass.. thats the whole story behind st. patrick. he drove the snakes out of ireland.
