This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I have made you an enemy
I have been my own enemy
I am asking for you to forgive me
For everything
If you don't
You're worthy of compassion
If you do
You're a better man than I am
If you don't know, you're my family
Enemy
I'm sorry
Oh, enemy, family
Forgive me
If you don't
You're worthy of compassion
If you do
You're a better man than I am
If you do
You're a better man than I am
Enemy, enemy, family, family
I have been my own enemy
I am asking for you to forgive me
For everything
If you don't
You're worthy of compassion
If you do
You're a better man than I am
If you don't know, you're my family
Enemy
I'm sorry
Oh, enemy, family
Forgive me
If you don't
You're worthy of compassion
If you do
You're a better man than I am
If you do
You're a better man than I am
Enemy, enemy, family, family

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
this really explains the situation that i am in right now. someone recently said that they didnt like me, and at first, i was a little mad and ticked off. then, i heard this song and realized that even my enemies are my family and i must love them no matter what. Jesus died for them too, so that must be worth something. -Livvy :D
Very true! :D
from my view, i think it's talking about how you can delusion yourself into hating people for such small things. you can turn against yourself if you don't like something, "I have been my own enemy" i think its also about trying to forgive yourself and others "If you don't you're worthy of compassion If you do you're a better man than I am" it can be hard to forgive but like it says, if you do you're a better man than i am
To me, this is definitely a song of forgiveness. Of forgiving herself, and the one whom she called enemy/hated. A very beautiful, heartbreaking song.
I think this is based on the bible quote 'Love your neighbour'. Person A has wronged or angered Person B. Person A asks for forgiveness. They tell Person B that if they don't forgive them, they need help from God ('compassion'). If they do, they are a better person for forgiving them. The rest is pretty self explaintory from a Christian point of view; we are all God's children. Sorry if that was confusing ;)
I really like your take on the song. More than a decade ago during the Jewish Atonement I sent a letter to a woman asking her to forgive me. I had said something cruel about her to others. To this day I have no clue if she forgave me (I hope she did), but I was able to forgive myself for being such a uncaring jerk. I try hard not to talk (bad) about anyone, but that came with age. There's always something good in every person providing you look hard enough (and wish to see it).
Ahh Man. Where can I find this song?

Enemy is about forgiveness.
"I have made you an enemy I have been my own enemy." = Since Lacey has not forgiven you, and "hated" you, in doing that, she has made an enemy out of herself for not forgiving you. (Fighting ends in forgiveness.)
"I am asking for you to forgive me For everything." = Self-explanatory
"If you don't You're worthy of compassion If you do You're a better man than I am" = If you don't forgive me, I will still say I'm sorry no matter what, If you do forgive me, you're a good man, for being mature and apologizing first. No matter what I did.
"If you don't know, you're my family Enemy I'm sorry Oh, enemy, family Forgive me." = We are all brothers and sisters and Jehovah is the father. Even if we were not born from the same mom/dad. We should all forgive and love our neighbors. Because we are family,
"Enemy, enemy, family, family." = Lacey saying that her enemies are her family.
