This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Powder in your hair
Staples in your jeans
Fireworks at the water
You were holding a styro-foam cup
Held between your teeth
Telling me how you're going to outlive your body
What you said I wrote it down,
It won't say,
It won't speak the same
Maybe I know better than
To read more
Than what's written
After everything
After everything
Left in the sun, shivering.
After everything.
Gathering your storm
I talk to fill the space
You know where so and so was
When they were our age
And every night you seem
To talk me out of everything
Careful what you say next,
Don't waste a sin-gle drop
What you said I wrote it down,
Won't say, won't speak the same
After everything,
After everything.
Left in the sun, shivering.
After everything.
What you said I wrote it down,
It won't say,
It won't speak the same
Maybe I know better than
To read more
Than what's there
After everything,
After everything.
Left in the sun, shivering.
After everything.
Staples in your jeans
Fireworks at the water
You were holding a styro-foam cup
Held between your teeth
Telling me how you're going to outlive your body
What you said I wrote it down,
It won't say,
It won't speak the same
Maybe I know better than
To read more
Than what's written
After everything
After everything
Left in the sun, shivering.
After everything.
Gathering your storm
I talk to fill the space
You know where so and so was
When they were our age
And every night you seem
To talk me out of everything
Careful what you say next,
Don't waste a sin-gle drop
What you said I wrote it down,
Won't say, won't speak the same
After everything,
After everything.
Left in the sun, shivering.
After everything.
What you said I wrote it down,
It won't say,
It won't speak the same
Maybe I know better than
To read more
Than what's there
After everything,
After everything.
Left in the sun, shivering.
After everything.

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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
To me, there seems to be two different ways to interpret the song. The first being that the singer is writing about a close friend/relative who is going to die soon (which makes sense with the context of the rest of the album, esp. "Three Months"). They're saying that their body is going to die before their spirit, which indicates some sort of a disease. So the singer writes down all the things this person says so that they don't forget, but the words can't be spoken or else they lose all their meaning. Or, as is indicated by the last line, the singer will attach more meaning to the words than was intended. An alternative would be that their close friend/relative is simply leaving or breaking up with them. Doesn't seem to fit as well with everything else, but it's always an angle.
Agreed. Nicely written.
