This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Don't put your faith in my heart
I will only let you down
Don't let your love grow too deep
I don't think I'll be around
There is a curse in my bones
That'll breathe and fly again
Until when we both are ghosts
I will miss you like a friend
But they'll never take the good years
There are some that never burn
And they'll never take the good years
God, I wish I would have learned
Don't be afraid to move on
You were meant to bear a child
Don't look for me when you're gone
It'll only hurt a while
But they'll never take the good years
There are some that never burn
And they'll never take the good years
God, I wish I would have learned
I will only let you down
Don't let your love grow too deep
I don't think I'll be around
There is a curse in my bones
That'll breathe and fly again
Until when we both are ghosts
I will miss you like a friend
But they'll never take the good years
There are some that never burn
And they'll never take the good years
God, I wish I would have learned
Don't be afraid to move on
You were meant to bear a child
Don't look for me when you're gone
It'll only hurt a while
But they'll never take the good years
There are some that never burn
And they'll never take the good years
God, I wish I would have learned

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.
when i hear this song i think of something different. when you love someone entirely, you let them become your faith.(for some) without that person, you have no faith for the rest of the world. he doesnt want her to love him like he knows she does. he knows he wont be here forever. and he doesnt want to hurt her. he knows he is curse. maybe its in his genes, maybe its something his whole family has been cursed with. and emotion. the curse is in him now, and it will cause him to fly. and until she is able to fly with him, all he can do is miss her and wait. no longer lovers, just able to miss her like a friend. in the years they spent together they learned so much about love, life, death, everything. he wishes he could have learned to help himself, and not let the curse take him over. he doesnt want her to be alone and sad, she still has a life on earth to live. when shes lost and confused, he doesnt want her to search for him. hes gone now, and wont be coming back. they will love again, and in some ways, they still are in love. but never-the-less, she needs to move on, have a family, and when she can be a ghost as well, they will continue.
maybe im COMPLETELY off, but this is what i hear when the song plays. probably because this is how i feel about a lost loved one.
