This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
It's been seven hours long
And you're shadow still hangs on
You've been two weeks gone
So tonight I'll follow you home
There are so many different ways
Of collecting all the strays
The ones that get away
Oh, fascinations, we play
New sensations
Oh, fascination, it's been in my
Frustration
It's been in my frustrations
And I haven't got the patience
These sheets are still warm
This bed is our only home
We make arrangements over the phone
Where has all the conversation gone?
There are so many different ways
Of collecting all the strays
The ones that get away
Oh, fascinations, we play
New sensations
Oh, fascination,
It's been in my, frustration
It's been in my, frustrations
And I haven't got the patience
Frustrations, sensations, and fascinations, and fascinations
Frustrations, sensations, and fascinations, and fascinations
Oh, fascination,
New sensation [repeat 2x]
Oh, fascinations, we play
New sensations
Oh, fascination,
It's been in my, frustration
It's been in my, frustrations
And I haven't got the patience
And you're shadow still hangs on
You've been two weeks gone
So tonight I'll follow you home
There are so many different ways
Of collecting all the strays
The ones that get away
Oh, fascinations, we play
New sensations
Oh, fascination, it's been in my
Frustration
It's been in my frustrations
And I haven't got the patience
These sheets are still warm
This bed is our only home
We make arrangements over the phone
Where has all the conversation gone?
There are so many different ways
Of collecting all the strays
The ones that get away
Oh, fascinations, we play
New sensations
Oh, fascination,
It's been in my, frustration
It's been in my, frustrations
And I haven't got the patience
Frustrations, sensations, and fascinations, and fascinations
Frustrations, sensations, and fascinations, and fascinations
Oh, fascination,
New sensation [repeat 2x]
Oh, fascinations, we play
New sensations
Oh, fascination,
It's been in my, frustration
It's been in my, frustrations
And I haven't got the patience

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I'm not 100% on these lyrics, since they're not submitted anywhere, so I had to play it by ear. Feel free to let me know of any changes that are needed!
Looks perfect!
I think maybe it's "where has OUR conversation gone?" Maybe?
I definitely hear it as 'where has all the conversation gone?'.
Anyways, about the songs meaning.. seems like the person the song is about is obsessive over a particular person, a little too fascinated by them that they can't think of anyone else, even though there are others around.
Or something. =]
To me the song sounds as if the person singing the song has just been left by an old partner or something. They mention that there are "different ways of collecting all the strays" probably in reference to losing whoever had been gone for 2 weeks. So instead they follow them home and end up making arrangements to sleep with them. This is in reference to the "bed still being warm" and wondering "where has all the conversation gone".
So although they have old fascinations but crave new sensations I think it's a bit of nostalgia as well as wanting something more but they need something to get through "now" and are willing to settle for this purely sexual relationship. Hence, they "don't have the patience".
That's my take anyways...
I think that this songs means she broke up with someone and now misses them. It's "old fascinations" meaning the previous relationships. And then she starts to question the previous things like talking on the phone and the arrangements they made/plans for the future. When its "new sensations", its like getting the feeling back again for them.
My interpretation is that an ex uses her again, she regrets it and doesn't want anymore but still ends up doing it again and then it makes her angry with herself for not saying no.
Old fascinations We crave new sensations Old fascination is feeding my frustration It's feeding my frustrations And I haven't got the patience
it makes me think about the thing called lesbian-bed-death...
the first time i heard it, it made me think of a long relationship that were bored of and there are all these temptations out there ..or you actually have a bf and leave him for all those temptations and realize that once ur single, all ur having is short flings that drift away and you run out of patience to find something stable.eventually you end up going back to the "old facination"
I think this song was written closely after 'Quicksand' so I'm wondering whether its about the same 'friend' of hers she had 'moments' with...
