This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
[Chorus]
Well I'm sorry and I apologize
For any pain I may have caused you
And I made you my enemy
But Now I need you as my friend
And I've been wrong for so long
Not to ask for your forgiveness
And if you don't accept, I'll understand
But I need to make amends
But I need to make amends
It's hard for me to say this
But I've been going through some changes
And I'm really not quite sure where to begin
I've been kissing devils
And fighting angels
Putting the rest of you in danger
And blaming you for the turmoil beneath my skin
And my twisted versions of the truth
Are a weak man's attempt to look better than you
Can't believe your pain never gave you a grin
And I've wanted to kill a thousand times
But I think I just thought that I wouldn't survive
But I found happiness ain't something to win
[Chorus]
Well, I've lied to you so many times
With a mad desire to control your mind
Searching for things to no one finds
And I've killed your time and stole you blind
I've taught you things you don't need to learn
So I can cut in line and take your turn
I've filled your head with snakes and worms
On my search for a bridge to burn
I wanna live with no uncertainty
But that man in the mirror's been hurtin' me.
And I've come to you, cause there's nowhere else to go
[Chorus]
If you see me sad, don't pity it
I've been a God damn idiot
My life, my fault, my actions make me break
And I can't even see it, so be it
That's what I think
When everybody's gonna blame the world
I blame my mom and dad and put it in a song
I'm weak, so I act strong
I'm short, so I talk long
And layin' in the hospital
I think, have I been wrong?
All along
I'm 29, still playin' "Look at me!"
What am I, three?
Self-esteem on E
Can't you see
I've been often negligent
Almost never benevolent
I think I'm intelligent
But mostly irrelevant
Cause I ain't changed one bit
Even though I quit
Who cares if I'm sober if
I'm still gonna steal shit
I had to be broken down
Another apocalypse
To see what I had missed
And just come and tell you this
My pride, gotta suck it up
My gut, gotta tuck it up
So here goes, dawg
I love you
I fucked it up
[Chorus] x2
Well I'm sorry and I apologize
For any pain I may have caused you
And I made you my enemy
But Now I need you as my friend
And I've been wrong for so long
Not to ask for your forgiveness
And if you don't accept, I'll understand
But I need to make amends
But I need to make amends
It's hard for me to say this
But I've been going through some changes
And I'm really not quite sure where to begin
I've been kissing devils
And fighting angels
Putting the rest of you in danger
And blaming you for the turmoil beneath my skin
And my twisted versions of the truth
Are a weak man's attempt to look better than you
Can't believe your pain never gave you a grin
And I've wanted to kill a thousand times
But I think I just thought that I wouldn't survive
But I found happiness ain't something to win
[Chorus]
Well, I've lied to you so many times
With a mad desire to control your mind
Searching for things to no one finds
And I've killed your time and stole you blind
I've taught you things you don't need to learn
So I can cut in line and take your turn
I've filled your head with snakes and worms
On my search for a bridge to burn
I wanna live with no uncertainty
But that man in the mirror's been hurtin' me.
And I've come to you, cause there's nowhere else to go

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,
No Surprises

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.

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 think this song is about: When you are battleing addictions and you push away everyone around you who tries to help or shows any interest in your problem, because when you are fucked up they play the bad guy role trying to limit or cut you off, but later you realize they were trying to help. Even though you have hurt the people you must apologize now that you realize you were wrong, so you must make ammends with your family and freinds whether they accept it or not. I think he also realized that even though he had stopped the drugs he is still stealing and sees that maybe the drug wasnt the only problem, and that is what he has become even now that he doesnt use anymore he still has the lifestyle. So yerp thats what I think first comment and all <3
