This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Slow down
These chemicals won't take you anywhere
So let the smoke go down and fill the room
As you look at me for something else to blame
Breathe in deep as the poison fills your lungs
It's nights like these that make mornings a hope will never come
So hold your breath and follow me
Clockwork devices are all we'll ever be
So you do your dance obliterating everything you see
And I do my best to waste it all away
This machine replicates and hums along
The medication ranges but the high is all the same
Just a walking catasrophe now
Crashing into you
So it all goes up flames erasing what will never be
And we'll do it all again tomorrow
So it goes and now it's gone
The life we choose is how we'll fall
The way we destroy is the art of it all
This portrait illustrates what you made me out to be
These colors never run, they only fade in time
I've turned to see your reaction
And what I thought it would be
From somewhere in the distance
I hear the sirens scream
Dancer, I remember the night you set this place on fire
With you out there in the middle of the room
Sitting pretty but you know you have
No defense, you have no defense
As we both go down in flames
You hold your breath and wonder why
No defense, you have no defense
Then you do your dance obliterating everything in sight
So it goes and now it's gone
The life we choose is how we'll fall
The way we destroy is the art of it all
This portrait illustrates what you made me out to be
These colors never run, they only fade in time
These chemicals won't take you anywhere
So let the smoke go down and fill the room
As you look at me for something else to blame
Breathe in deep as the poison fills your lungs
It's nights like these that make mornings a hope will never come
So hold your breath and follow me
Clockwork devices are all we'll ever be
So you do your dance obliterating everything you see
And I do my best to waste it all away
This machine replicates and hums along
The medication ranges but the high is all the same
Just a walking catasrophe now
Crashing into you
So it all goes up flames erasing what will never be
And we'll do it all again tomorrow
So it goes and now it's gone
The life we choose is how we'll fall
The way we destroy is the art of it all
This portrait illustrates what you made me out to be
These colors never run, they only fade in time
I've turned to see your reaction
And what I thought it would be
From somewhere in the distance
I hear the sirens scream
Dancer, I remember the night you set this place on fire
With you out there in the middle of the room
Sitting pretty but you know you have
No defense, you have no defense
As we both go down in flames
You hold your breath and wonder why
No defense, you have no defense
Then you do your dance obliterating everything in sight
So it goes and now it's gone
The life we choose is how we'll fall
The way we destroy is the art of it all
This portrait illustrates what you made me out to be
These colors never run, they only fade in time

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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.
"Having fun"? Uh, could you point out the "fun" in this song? The lyrics sound more depressing than fun to me.
Also, to me "the hills" could mean a few things... What do you think Jason meant?
