This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Careless, to try to think that we've progressed
and the consequence of walking quietly
We only know, what we've been told
Self's exposed and overloaded
These monuments built by thieves
Keep us contained
Polished they stand and guide us
I found a four leaf clover
Hidden within
Buried beneath my fears
And we fall, kneeling
begging for scraps
Hands and arms stretched out
we reach for what we're given
So privileged
I'd Imagine it could be the fall of man
We come from control
a paradigm that leads us through the valley
into the mouths of wolves
we are being eaten alive
And we fall, kneeling
begging for what?
The tailor's shop has closed
and we don't dress for miracles anymore
Oh, how we believe in
all the monuments built by thieves...
and the consequence of walking quietly
We only know, what we've been told
Self's exposed and overloaded
These monuments built by thieves
Keep us contained
Polished they stand and guide us
I found a four leaf clover
Hidden within
Buried beneath my fears
And we fall, kneeling
begging for scraps
Hands and arms stretched out
we reach for what we're given
So privileged
I'd Imagine it could be the fall of man
We come from control
a paradigm that leads us through the valley
into the mouths of wolves
we are being eaten alive
And we fall, kneeling
begging for what?
The tailor's shop has closed
and we don't dress for miracles anymore
Oh, how we believe in
all the monuments built by thieves...

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Brett Powell said "'Complex Terms' is about the illusion of progress, we think we are constantly moving forward, but often we are taking steps backward. We are comfortable giving up our valuable time for things that are not worth it, unable to balance our wants and needs. We are being 'lead through the valley, into the mouths of wolves.'"
