This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I want to write a song about
the words I live without
The words I cannot say
In hopes they go away
I want to write a songabout
the words that I cut out
my verbal repertoire
voided now here they are
A as in abortion,
animal cruelty,
and B is for the bees
C is climate change,
D is doomsday,
E is earthquake
F my fear of flying,
G is global warming,
and H is Haiti
Ice caps melt
on Judgment Day
These are the words I had to erase
These are the things I won't have to face
Cause I live in a world of peace and harmony
I don't read the news so it doesn't touch me
K is for the killers,
L is for the liars,
Mama why'd you bring me here
Cause you knew about the Nukes,
and I'm sure you knew
about Over-Population
So maybe I should Quit,
cause I don't wanna Risk
Seeing this Transpire
Safe Under the ground,
I won't have to View
This World as it expires,
Y and Z
These are the words I could not erase
These are the things I will have to face
Cause I live in a world of war and poverty
I don't read the news but it still touches me
And there's something kinda nice
About living in end times,
we don't believe in god
just turning out the lights
I could start smoking again
and it wouldn't even matter
cause the world won't be around
long enough for me to get cancer
I know this to be true,
but I don't see it as bad
think we had a good run
look at all the fun we had
and I live life every day,
and if these words are my last,
then I'll love it even more
cause I'll know it's all I had
the words I live without
The words I cannot say
In hopes they go away
I want to write a songabout
the words that I cut out
my verbal repertoire
voided now here they are
A as in abortion,
animal cruelty,
and B is for the bees
C is climate change,
D is doomsday,
E is earthquake
F my fear of flying,
G is global warming,
and H is Haiti
Ice caps melt
on Judgment Day
These are the words I had to erase
These are the things I won't have to face

I don't read the news so it doesn't touch me

Mama why'd you bring me here

No Surprises
Radiohead
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.

Plastic Bag

Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
