This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I went outside then I came back in
I wanted to talk to you, don't know where to begin
Sometimes the truth is a whirling thing
And it will elude you on nimble wings
So you have to search and you get real still
And you don't remember but you pray you will
How to let it come up through your heart
Where all good knowing really starts
Out a window the dying sun
Gives rise to wonder, the looming dusk
And every star that will appear
Has shown upon us for all our years
We take a breath then I hold your hand
I know that neither of us really understands
The way this works when the world does spin
And it flings us apart so we both can be born again
And the night blooms thunder and your heart breaks open again
Where we reel in wonder and we toss and tumble
In faith it's all going to turn into rain
To wash us as the morning comes
Early frost on prairie grass
So like magic, show me the past
Where we once stood on frozen plains
So much younger but still the same
And that's a secret you kids don't know
Your face gets older, your spirit don’t
And all this time when you’re looking out
And you feel all the feelings you felt when you started out
And the sun is rising as the morning stars
Start to glimmer and fade
And I know you're with me wherever you are
I call your name on this day
I wanted to talk to you, don't know where to begin
Sometimes the truth is a whirling thing
And it will elude you on nimble wings
So you have to search and you get real still
And you don't remember but you pray you will
How to let it come up through your heart
Where all good knowing really starts
Out a window the dying sun
Gives rise to wonder, the looming dusk
And every star that will appear
Has shown upon us for all our years
We take a breath then I hold your hand
I know that neither of us really understands
The way this works when the world does spin
And it flings us apart so we both can be born again
And the night blooms thunder and your heart breaks open again
Where we reel in wonder and we toss and tumble
In faith it's all going to turn into rain
To wash us as the morning comes
Early frost on prairie grass
So like magic, show me the past
Where we once stood on frozen plains
So much younger but still the same
And that's a secret you kids don't know
Your face gets older, your spirit don’t
And all this time when you’re looking out
And you feel all the feelings you felt when you started out
And the sun is rising as the morning stars
Start to glimmer and fade
And I know you're with me wherever you are
I call your name on this day

No Surprises
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.
