This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
This goes out to everyone who is sick and tired of being prosecuted for being different. This is more than just a song, more like a ballad for those who want to be free and this is about gathering together against the ones who said that you can't be whoever you want to be. So are you ready to stand up for yourself and show the world what you really think. Then raise your voice and let them know exactly who you are. This is all of our family cause this right here, this is a family!
I can't believe that this happening
A million others can't breathe
We follow everything I said
These words are words to live by
We have the power, the strength in numbers
Your eyes are open, but can you see without the light?
So do you notice that cut at your side?
Do you feel the pain? Do you feel alive?
We walk these paths side by side
We will be ok, we will be alive
I am who I am, is that so hard?
To realize that we are who we are
You can't live your life, hoping you were wrong
You can follow us and join the thousand strong
And as we gather together
To face the ones who oppose us
We have one thing left to say.
Your time is up now, this is our world.
Your time is up now, this is our world.
Your time is up now, this is our world.
Your time is up now, this is our world.
I should've known that this was happening
Everybody's trembling
Fall to your knees, we are here to stay
This is your last chance to be this way
I can finally say this is the way
This was worth fighting, worth dying for!
I can't believe that this happening
A million others can't breathe
We follow everything I said
These words are words to live by
We have the power, the strength in numbers
Your eyes are open, but can you see without the light?
So do you notice that cut at your side?
Do you feel the pain? Do you feel alive?
We walk these paths side by side
We will be ok, we will be alive
I am who I am, is that so hard?
To realize that we are who we are
You can't live your life, hoping you were wrong
You can follow us and join the thousand strong
And as we gather together
To face the ones who oppose us
We have one thing left to say.
Your time is up now, this is our world.
Your time is up now, this is our world.
Your time is up now, this is our world.
Your time is up now, this is our world.
I should've known that this was happening
Everybody's trembling
Fall to your knees, we are here to stay
This is your last chance to be this way
I can finally say this is the way
This was worth fighting, worth dying for!

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.
Magical

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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
This has got to be by far the best song on this cd! especially the end where jeremy from "a day to remember" has the breakdown which is schweeet!!
This band needs way more comments. Bad ass band with lots of potential.
