This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Heaven is like a dream
Where nothing bad ever happens
But Hell lasts two forevers
I am not afraid of death
And I am not afraid of dying
But I am afraid of what happens after
What can I say?
How can I make my way?
"I quit smokin' so much," said the pastor
"Confess your sins and God will let you in."
Someone said, "No thanks, sir."
And they said it with laughter
Heaven is like a violin
On which you play a sacred song
But Hell is like a broken string
And life is like a well
Or a hole you're trapped inside
And when you hit the bottom, it's gonna sting
I got my head on straight
I walked through the park just to wait
For a message in the sand to spread it's wings
Someone said, "Try this here cocaine,
It'll take away all the pain."
But I said, "No siree, Jack, it's a damnable thing."
Heaven is like a river
That flows forever strong
But Hell just takes you down without notice
And I am not a wise man
I am no more wise that you
In fact, I think I'm losing focus
I can't write another song
Even though I feel like nothing is wrong
I just don't want to see the day where I just stop trying
But I feel so sick inside
I feel like a living sigh
I think I'll break down and I'll just start crying
Heaven is like a woman
Who fulfills your every need
And she's beautiful, and she'll love you forever
But Hell is just an awful place
It's where you don't want to go
And you think you never will, but never say never
The moral of my story
Is when you pick a morning glory
Be sure to pick the prettiest one
Because for what life has got in store,
The afterlife has even more
And God will decide when your battle has been won
Where nothing bad ever happens
But Hell lasts two forevers
I am not afraid of death
And I am not afraid of dying
But I am afraid of what happens after
What can I say?
How can I make my way?

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.

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.
