This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Idly watching - the shade blurs my eyes.
Like a vouyer i get no part in your dirty job.
I will have my privileged seat - i will be the first one in line.
I will scream and kick and whine - all from my first row seat.
I will look, but i won't touch.
I will touch, but i won't taste.
I will taste, but won't swallow it.
I will just play god for a while.
In the greatest amusement park of all.
I will watch the fire burn and demand more.
I will watch the firemen work and yell at them to go away.
I will start the fight and stand aside when the punches fly.
Standing idly while the world burns.
And step on the ashes when it's done.
Yelling "go!" to my team without leaving my seat.
And invade the field after the game is over.
Root for the bull in a bullfight.
And say "too bad" when he falls motionless with death in his eyes.
And the bullfighter walks away with bloody crime on his heart.
I will yell "fuck you!" but still stand idly.
Watch my house being built and go inside when it's ready.
I will have my privileged seat - i will be the first one in line.
And i won't move a single finger to help you.
I will just step on the ashes after it's all over - including yours.

Ociosamente observando. A sombra embaca meus olhos.
Como um voyeur eu não tomo parte em seu trabalho sujo.
Terei o meu assento privilegiado. Serei o primeiro da fila.
Irei gritar, chutar, reclamar – tudo isto de meu assento da primeira fila.
Irei olhar, mas não tocar. Tocar, mas não provar. Provar, mas não engolir.
Apenas brincarei de deus por algum tempo. No maior parque de diversões da história.
Irei ver o fogo queimar e exigir mais. Observar os bombeiros apagarem-no e mandá-los embora.
Comecar a briga e ficar de for a quando os socos voarem.
Esperando ociosamente enquanto o mundo queima e pisar nas cinzas quando tudo estiver terminado.
Torcerei para o meu time sem deixar o meu assento e invadirei o campo quando o jogo terminar.
Torcer para o touro em uma tourada e dizer “que pena” quando ele cair imóvel, morte em seus olhos.
E quando o toureiro caminhar com o sangrento crime em seu coracão,
mandarei-o à merda mas não deixarei meu assento.
Observarei minha casa ser construída e entrarei depois de tudo pronto.
Terei meu assento privilegiado. Serei o primeiro da fila.
E não moverei um único dedo para te ajudar.
Apenas pisarei nas cinzas quando tudo estiver terminado. Incluindo as suas.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
