This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
If I didn't know better,
I'd say that the world turned
Just as fast as I could mend all the bridges that I burn
Mother told me it would be like this
and that the fairy-tale had been spun
When you live with bees you're bound to get stung
When I can't shut my mind because I've got to make that call
To save all my old girlfriends and those I don't recall
From all collective sadness and memories of me
And show them I am genuine and that I am not a bee
BE, BE just BE
It's always nice to be the leader
and even nicer to have space
On the cosmic side of logic
someone told me there is a place
Where there's a synthesis of nature
and fearless people who believe
That there's a safe place in the hornets nest
of which too few of us conceive
BE, BE just BE
BE me, just BE me
In the absence of the chaos, a space of silence fills the room
And I realize that when I run this race
it's just myself that I consume
When all your arbitrary concepts fade,
like time, property and words
To feel my senses on a mountain top,
oh to be a bumble bird
As she pulls her zipper up I start to disappear
Through all of those whispered words,
there's none I can even hear
Even though without her, I stand here gentle and alone
A single tree at Inisfree
and a hive to call my own
BE BE just BE
Who do you want to be?
I'd say that the world turned
Just as fast as I could mend all the bridges that I burn
Mother told me it would be like this
and that the fairy-tale had been spun
When you live with bees you're bound to get stung
When I can't shut my mind because I've got to make that call
To save all my old girlfriends and those I don't recall
From all collective sadness and memories of me
And show them I am genuine and that I am not a bee
BE, BE just BE
It's always nice to be the leader
and even nicer to have space
On the cosmic side of logic
someone told me there is a place
Where there's a synthesis of nature
and fearless people who believe
That there's a safe place in the hornets nest
of which too few of us conceive
BE, BE just BE
BE me, just BE me
In the absence of the chaos, a space of silence fills the room
And I realize that when I run this race
it's just myself that I consume
When all your arbitrary concepts fade,
like time, property and words
To feel my senses on a mountain top,
oh to be a bumble bird
As she pulls her zipper up I start to disappear
Through all of those whispered words,
there's none I can even hear
Even though without her, I stand here gentle and alone
A single tree at Inisfree
and a hive to call my own
BE BE just BE
Who do you want to be?

@[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.

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.

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.
