This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I remember desert places
Shadowless and cold
Where heaven looks down
On this empty hole
Lovers here to taste the ruins
Dark and obscene
But all I want is you
In my sunken dreams
I remember all the places
I remember when we met
You alone and graceless
Me covered in sweat
We hid among the empty aisles
Shuddered 'neath the scene
And your lips reached out
In my sunken dreams
She finished the move, presenting blue waves of doubt
Natured now and blown apart
This fury and cruel matriarch
She leads me to the edge of my own frail being
And my own mortality in question
The sanctity pushed me on and off to the depths of my own cowardly demise
And in this decay I find another day, will I burn at the stake
That I know into the decay another day, will I burn at the stake
To have a chance to obey
And will I start again
Where I first began
With a flat fluid embrace
And I remember when I tried to find a voice
In the distorted German channels of my own mind
And that seemed so long ago, that was so long ago
And I remember when I tried to find her voice
In the distorted German channels of my own mind
And that seemed long ago, that was so long ago
Shadowless and cold
Where heaven looks down
On this empty hole
Lovers here to taste the ruins
Dark and obscene
But all I want is you
In my sunken dreams
I remember all the places
I remember when we met
You alone and graceless
Me covered in sweat
We hid among the empty aisles
Shuddered 'neath the scene
And your lips reached out
In my sunken dreams
She finished the move, presenting blue waves of doubt
Natured now and blown apart
This fury and cruel matriarch
She leads me to the edge of my own frail being
And my own mortality in question
The sanctity pushed me on and off to the depths of my own cowardly demise
And in this decay I find another day, will I burn at the stake
That I know into the decay another day, will I burn at the stake
To have a chance to obey
And will I start again
Where I first began
With a flat fluid embrace
And I remember when I tried to find a voice
In the distorted German channels of my own mind
And that seemed so long ago, that was so long ago
And I remember when I tried to find her voice
In the distorted German channels of my own mind
And that seemed long ago, that was so long ago

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
No Surprises
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.
Head > Heels

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
"Looking for that fleeting embrace.
And I remember when I tried to find a voice In the distorted, drowning channels of my own mind."
The song is called "Sunken Dreams," and Conrad Keely, who wrote the song, is of Irish and Thai descent.
Someone with more motivation than me should figure out what the spoken interlude and the repeated line at the end say and post it.
sunken dreams could be dreams never realized. so this song is probably about a failed relationship, like most songs. this one sounds a lot like the cure. i love the choir at the end. maybe if someone posted the full lyrics, someone other than me or the person above me, then it would be clearer to interpret.
So this song prolly the best off of that album, and here is the spoken part. She finished the move resending blew waves of doubt Natured now and blown apart This fury and cruel matriarch She leads me to the edge of my own frail being And my own mortality in question And the sanctity pushed me on and off to the depths of my own cowardly demise And in this decay I find another day will I burn out the stake That I know into the decay another day will I burn out the stake To have a chance to obey And will I start again Where I first began With a flat fluid embrace
And I remember when I tried to find her voice In the distorted German channels of my own mind And that seemed long ago, that was so long ago
this song is like wanting someone as a lover for the wrong reasons....out of fear and vane...but..those same emotions lead you to build bridges at the same time. they dont sustain those bridges. they drive people away. i dont know why his mind is speaking german....maybe he's struggling to understand himself
"looking for that fleeting embrace
And I remember when I tried to find a voice In the distorted droning channels of my own mind.."
