This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Twisted and turned on roads
Lit and burned as we watched every move that we make
And the time crept on slowly
Like miles per hour on your dashboard
As we look the same as we do every year
Red and green reflected lights from ear to ear
But I bet you take all the boys here
A baseball player's front lawn failures
We'll joke of a note inside his mailbox
It reads, "Don't give up
Try hanging more lights from your rooftop"
But our suggestions hardly ever work.
We twist and turn through sarcastic groans
While we've measured the weight of our days
With souls the size of dinner plates
But does he understand you like you need him to?
Which one of us two has really heard the truth?
I bet you take all the boy here
A baseball player's front lawn failures
We'll joke of a note inside his mailbox
I write, "Don't give up
Try saving a night in December"
But my suggestions hardly ever work
We hardly ever work
Save my side of the ten mile ride
Safe, sound, and silent tonight
Safe, sound, and silent's enough to prove me right
Lit and burned as we watched every move that we make
And the time crept on slowly
Like miles per hour on your dashboard
As we look the same as we do every year
Red and green reflected lights from ear to ear
But I bet you take all the boys here
A baseball player's front lawn failures
We'll joke of a note inside his mailbox
It reads, "Don't give up
Try hanging more lights from your rooftop"
But our suggestions hardly ever work.
We twist and turn through sarcastic groans
While we've measured the weight of our days
With souls the size of dinner plates
But does he understand you like you need him to?
Which one of us two has really heard the truth?
I bet you take all the boy here
A baseball player's front lawn failures
We'll joke of a note inside his mailbox
I write, "Don't give up
Try saving a night in December"
But my suggestions hardly ever work
We hardly ever work
Save my side of the ten mile ride
Safe, sound, and silent tonight
Safe, sound, and silent's enough to prove me right

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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,

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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
I love living right next to the town whose name lends itself to one of my favorite songs :O
What's this song about? I dunno, but I love the suggestions hardly ever working. Something sad and humble about it.
