This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Wandering endlessly upon the shores
For something that I will never attain
Banished here for a life of nothingness
My only comfort is the sand I bleed on
Hope is gone, it will never be the same
All I feel are the repeated stings of pain
Pungent stench of the sins of the worthless ones
Faithless cries of the sins of the godless ones
Marching on in deathly silence
Upon the shores we go
Crashing tides applaud the violence
Upon the shores we go
I'm dying endlessly upon the shores
For something that I will never attain
Tortured here for a life of nothingness
My only comfort is the sand I die on
Hope is gone, it will never be the same
All I feel are the repeated stings of pain
Pungent stench of the sins of the worthless ones
Faithless cries of the sins of the godless ones
Marching on in deathly silence
Upon the shores we go
Crashing tides applaud the violence
Upon the shores we go
Charon, is this the fate for me
Is the Obolus all I pay
Cursed to wander the shores of Acheron
My eyes must have been missing silver coins
Solo: MKH
Maggots drinking the blood of me
Insects licking the tears I weep
Hornets piercing, while wasps are breaking
Every single fucking inch of skin on me
solo: CKB
Hope is gone, it will never be the same
All I feel are the repeated stings of pain
Pungent stench of the sins of the worthless ones
Faithless cries of the sins of the godless ones
Marching on in deathly silence
Upon the shores we go
Crashing tides applaud the violence
Upon the shores we go
For something that I will never attain
Banished here for a life of nothingness
My only comfort is the sand I bleed on
Hope is gone, it will never be the same
All I feel are the repeated stings of pain
Pungent stench of the sins of the worthless ones
Faithless cries of the sins of the godless ones
Marching on in deathly silence
Upon the shores we go
Crashing tides applaud the violence
Upon the shores we go
I'm dying endlessly upon the shores
For something that I will never attain
Tortured here for a life of nothingness
My only comfort is the sand I die on
Hope is gone, it will never be the same
All I feel are the repeated stings of pain
Pungent stench of the sins of the worthless ones
Faithless cries of the sins of the godless ones
Marching on in deathly silence
Upon the shores we go
Crashing tides applaud the violence
Upon the shores we go
Charon, is this the fate for me
Is the Obolus all I pay
Cursed to wander the shores of Acheron
My eyes must have been missing silver coins
Solo: MKH
Maggots drinking the blood of me
Insects licking the tears I weep
Hornets piercing, while wasps are breaking
Every single fucking inch of skin on me
solo: CKB
Hope is gone, it will never be the same
All I feel are the repeated stings of pain
Pungent stench of the sins of the worthless ones
Faithless cries of the sins of the godless ones
Marching on in deathly silence
Upon the shores we go
Crashing tides applaud the violence
Upon the shores we go

@[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.
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.

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.
This is about the Epic poem The Divide Comedy- Detailing Dante's views of hell in the Inferno. The godless and worthless reside in Limbo. Wrath and Sloth fighting and trampling eachother in the river (Styx?). Acheron is a river in Hades where shades wander and "sing" and Charon is a ferryman who brings the dead to hell
I believe that this song is about D-Day to be honest. Although D-Day was successfull, in the eyes of the allied forces, there were thousands of casualties and deaths. Lets think about it, the song talks about going onto shores, this relates to D-Day, the it says, For Something I Will Never Attain, is Matt looking through the eyes of someone with no faith, or someone who is about to suffer?
It then goes on to talk about wandering the shores of Acheron, Acheron, in greek mythology, is the river of pain. Thats just a few points that make me believe it about D-Day. Awesome song A+
heyy! first comment...schweet!
deos anyone else think that parts of this song are heavily influenced by opeth??
no cuz opeth is fuckin gay.
yep. what grim reaper said.
its about crossing the river of styx.
except the person in this story didnt have the pay for charon. so he is banished to wander the shores forever. ["my eyes must have been missing silver coins"]
