This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
You were my fire, so I burned, 'til there was nothing left of me
I, I touched your face, I held you close, 'til I could barely breathe
Why give me hope, then give me up, just to be the death of me
Save the rest of me
'Cause I see you, but I can't feel you anymore, so go away
I need you, but I can't need you anymore, you hesitate
Now, now and then, you come around, like there's something left for me
We were one, we were everything
I'm still here, but I'll just keep the rest for me
'Cause I see you, but I can't feel you anymore, so go away
I need you, but I can't need you anymore, you hesitate
We never made it, you hesitated, I don't believe
That I see you, but I can't feel you anymore, so go away
I need you, but I can't need you anymore, you hesitate
'Cause I see you, but I can't feel you anymore, so go away
I need you, but I can't need you anymore, you hesitate, hesitate
You were my fire, so I burned, now there's nothing left of me
I, I touched your face, I held you close, 'til I could barely breathe
Why give me hope, then give me up, just to be the death of me
Save the rest of me
'Cause I see you, but I can't feel you anymore, so go away
I need you, but I can't need you anymore, you hesitate
Now, now and then, you come around, like there's something left for me
We were one, we were everything
I'm still here, but I'll just keep the rest for me
'Cause I see you, but I can't feel you anymore, so go away
I need you, but I can't need you anymore, you hesitate
We never made it, you hesitated, I don't believe
That I see you, but I can't feel you anymore, so go away
I need you, but I can't need you anymore, you hesitate
'Cause I see you, but I can't feel you anymore, so go away
I need you, but I can't need you anymore, you hesitate, hesitate
You were my fire, so I burned, now there's nothing left of me

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
I think this really fits a guy who has had a rather-empty life and had filled it with violent, destructive behavior, but that he also had formed a family with people who really care about it; but I also think the guy had chosen drugs or something life-threatening that had his days numbered.
"you were my fire, so i burned, 'til there was nothing left of me" could fit both sides of his life, the good and the bad, because the bad choice of lifestyle pretty much spear-headed him to an early grave but because he actually had people who loved him it was harder to give his all when he would fight. "why give me hope then give me up just to be the death of me" would be him talking to life; maybe he was finally given all that he had needed in life but it obviously was given to him too late. the chorus makes me think that he has no choice but to sit back and watch the life that he had needed all along and do nothing about it, sort of the "take your medicine" scenario, and that in a weird way he just wants the "needed life" to just leave him so he can't feel anymore pain. "we never made it, you hesitated" sounds as though he tried to make good terms with his life but in spite of his struggle he got himself killed ("you [life] hesitated"). the rest of the song I think would fit him after death, how even though his soul was still earthbound that he wouldn't be able to enjoy what he had left behind like he would have been able to if he were still alive. "you were my fire, so I burned, now there's nothing left of me" would be him summing up what his life had been and done to him, and the "there's nothing left of me" would declare that he had died.
just my take on it. probably my favorite stone sour song.
