This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

it's a quarter past 7
why did somebody break my chains?
i've been sitting here ever since...
repeating the lines i would say
in my head are memories and bad pick up lines
i cringe at the thought of releasing them
into the wild a teen died in alaska
found by him his journal and his gun
i'm a lot like him
but with a life more worthless
i never needed your forgiving
i never wanted it to come to this
we have grown apart, and it shows in our scars
this one begins where the last one ends
the blood we bleed has caught up to our needs
it always seemed my best wasn't good enough
wish i could slip away into this shallow grave
but the grave seems lonely that you're not here
got so many problems yet i don't know how to solve them
i need an eager ear
its a quarter past 4 in the morning
sirens wake me as the house next door is on fire
the flames show my true color
a scared, worthless person
the hurley flats are covered in snow
on this february night...
i miss how it glistens off of your face
then you stare up in pain
you said "i can't go out tonight"
not now... not forever
you're waiting for some guy who will treat you with respect
i've been here the whole damn time
i'm that boy you should treasure
but if you go, i'll be close to behind
or left to die, it's up to you
i'm not pissed; in my opinion you ruined your life
but it is just that, your life
you are too far away... i can't feel you
can't tell you i love you
but it wouldn't make a difference
because you are blind
but i can't give up, because there is always that chance
it wouldn't matter
it couldn't matter
it wouldn't matter
since you know me you'll probably ignore me
but i can settle for that
this doesn't make a difference
but i'll say anyway through the best way i know how
i love you
i will always love you...
and i'm too damn shy to let it out

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.

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.

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.
