This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
The first time that I ever saw your face
I felt something stop me in my place
The kinda thing that you just can't see coming your way
I closed my eyes and I jumped right in
Zero to sixty and to the win
With my head held high like it was never coming home
And I trusted you when you asked me to
When I said I would, tell me what was I thinking
I gave my heart without even blinking
That's all you got? Well baby that's just no good, whoa
Don't give me that line, you know I won't buy it
You're as good as love as you are at lying
You said ?Uh-huh? but I just don't think you understood
When I said I would
I stood by you, played by the rules
For a second I thought that you did too
Makes me wonder how long you would have let me be a fool
I gave it my best, this is what I get
When I said I would, tell me what was I thinking
I gave my heart without even blinking
That's all you got? Well baby that's just no good, whoa
Don't give me that line, you know I won't buy it
You're as good as love as you are at lying
You said ?Uh-huh? but I just don't think you understood
When I said I would
When I said I would
I'm taking back when I said I would love you
I'm taking back every kiss that I gave you
I'm taking back every promise I made you
I'm taking back everything that I said
When I said I would, tell me what was I thinking
I gave my heart without even blinking
That's all you got? Well baby that's just no good, whoa
Don't give me that line, you know I won't buy it
You're as good as love as you are at lying
You said ?Uh-huh? but I just don't think you understood
When I said I would
When I said I would
Whoa, don't give me that line, you know I won't buy it
You're as good as love as you are at lying
You said ?Uh-huh? but I just don't think you understood
When I said I would
When I said I would
I felt something stop me in my place
The kinda thing that you just can't see coming your way
I closed my eyes and I jumped right in
Zero to sixty and to the win
With my head held high like it was never coming home
And I trusted you when you asked me to
When I said I would, tell me what was I thinking
I gave my heart without even blinking
That's all you got? Well baby that's just no good, whoa
Don't give me that line, you know I won't buy it
You're as good as love as you are at lying
You said ?Uh-huh? but I just don't think you understood
When I said I would
I stood by you, played by the rules
For a second I thought that you did too
Makes me wonder how long you would have let me be a fool
I gave it my best, this is what I get
When I said I would, tell me what was I thinking

That's all you got? Well baby that's just no good, whoa
Don't give me that line, you know I won't buy it
You're as good as love as you are at lying

I'm taking back every kiss that I gave you

When I said I would
Whoa, don't give me that line, you know I won't buy it
You're as good as love as you are at lying
You said ?Uh-huh? but I just don't think you understood
When I said I would
When I said I would

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
No Surprises
Radiohead
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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.
i think it just hit me. this is like the story of my life. the guys a sweet talker. all he does is lie to get in her pants? hes just a jerk. and a sweet talker. and shes oblivious cause she likes him way to much. then she starts to realize that she gave it up to easy. and he hes doing is using her. and shes taking it back and regretting everything she ever did with him. she finally starts to stand her ground. and stands up for herself. and it feels fantastic.
