This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
You just can’t tell me now
That you never realized there was always something wrong
With the way you treat everyone
The simple fact remains
You’re a liar and a fake
It took me too long to say, but we’re better off without you
I bet you thought it was a secret
And that no one would ever hear about the things you said and did
When our backs were turned away
You live a life of idle threats
Leaving holes in bedroom walls
And you should have figured this out for yourself
And how many chances did you think you’d get?
And where do you get off?
So let the truth be told
We’ve had enough
We're not giving up
We’ve had enough
We're not giving up
We’ve had enough
We're not giving up
So tell me once again
How much smarter you are than every person you’ve ever met
How come you couldn’t see this coming?
It was the blatant disrespect to hide a lack of confidence
It was the ego you couldn’t check
Somehow you didn’t see this coming
I bet you thought it was a secret
And that no one would ever hear about the things you said and did
When our backs were turned away
You live a life of idle threats
Leaving holes in bedroom walls
And you should have figured this out for yourself
And how many chances did you think you’d get?
And where do you get off?
So let the truth be told
We’ve had enough
We're not giving up
We’ve had enough
We're not giving up
We’ve had enough
We're not giving up
We’ve had enough
We're not giving up
We’ve had enough
We're not giving up
Accept this as a fight you just can’t win
(A fight you just can't win)
Maybe the lesson that finally sinks in
Finally sinks in
You live a life of idle threats
Leaving holes in bedroom walls
And you should have figured this out for yourself
And how many chances did you think you’d get?
(I bet you thought it was a secret)
And where do you get off?
(And that no one would ever hear about)
So let the truth be told
(The things you said and did when our backs were turned away)

@[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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
