This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
(Even if we can't find heaven, heaven, heaven, heaven)
Hands, put your empty hands in mine
And scars, show me all the scars you hide
And hey, if your wings are broken
Please take mine so yours can open too
'Cause I'm gonna stand by you
Oh, tears make kaleidoscopes in your eyes
And hurt, I know you're hurting, but so am I
And love, if your wings are broken
Borrow mine so yours can open too
'Cause I'm gonna stand by you
Even if we're breaking down, we can find a way to break through
Even if we can't find Heaven, I'll walk through Hell with you
Love, you're not alone, 'cause I'm gonna stand by you
Even if we can't find Heaven, I'm gonna stand by you
Even if we can't find Heaven, I'll walk through Hell with you
Love, you're not alone, 'cause I'm gonna stand by you
Yeah, you're all I never knew I needed
And the heart, sometimes it's unclear why it's beating
And love, if your wings are broken
We can brave through those emotions too
'Cause I'm gonna stand by you
And oh, truth, I guess truth is what you believe in
And faith, I think faith is having a reason
No, no, no, love, if your wings are broken
Borrow mine so yours can open too
'Cause I'm gonna stand by you
Even if we're breaking down, we can find a way to break through
Even if we can't find Heaven, I'll walk through Hell with you
Love, you're not alone, 'cause I'm gonna stand by you
Even if we can't find Heaven, I'm gonna stand by you
Even if we can't find Heaven, I'll walk through Hell with you
Love, you're not alone, 'cause I'm gonna stand by you
I'll be your eyes 'til yours can shine
And I'll be your arms, I'll be your steady satellite
And when you can't rise
Well, I'll cry with you on hands and knees
'Cause I
I'm gonna stand by you
Even if we're breaking down, we can find a way to break through (come on)
Even if we can't find Heaven, I'll walk through Hell with you
Love, you're not alone, 'cause I'm gonna stand by you
Even if we can't find Heaven, I'm gonna stand by you
Even if we can't find Heaven, I'll walk through Hell with you
Love, you're not alone, 'cause I'm gonna stand by you
Love, you're not alone
No, I'm gonna stand by you
(Even if we can't find heaven, heaven, heaven)
I'm gonna stand by you
Hands, put your empty hands in mine
And scars, show me all the scars you hide
And hey, if your wings are broken

'Cause I'm gonna stand by you
Oh, tears make kaleidoscopes in your eyes
And hurt, I know you're hurting, but so am I

Borrow mine so yours can open too
'Cause I'm gonna stand by you
Even if we're breaking down, we can find a way to break through

Love, you're not alone, 'cause I'm gonna stand by you

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.
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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
My interpretation of the song is from a friend/lover's point of view. The person singing the song is telling their significant other (with possible depression) that even in the darkest times, they will be there for them.
"Hands, put your empty hands in mine" The significant other is empty and can't feel anything.
"And scars, show me all the scars you hide" This line is pretty self explanatory: The significant other has wounds, either physical or mental, and the person singing knows that they are try to hide their pain.
"And hey, if your wings are broken please take mine so yours can open too" The significant other has given up all hope, so the singer is giving their "wings" or hope so that the significant other will "open their wings."
"And hurt, I know you're hurting, but so am I" The singer knows that the significant other is hurting, but the singer is struggling with their own problems, or because their friend/lover is sad and depressed, the singer feels pain that their significant other is hurting.
"Even if we're breaking down, we can find a way to break through" Even if they are both going through a difficult time, they will find a way to "break through" or find happiness again.
"Even if we can't find heaven, I'll walk through hell with you" Even if they can't find "heaven" or good times, the singer will be there with the significant other through the bad times, or "hell."
"Love, you're not alone, 'cause I'm gonna stand by you" The singer will "stand by" or be there with their significant other through it all.
"And the heart, sometimes it's unclear why it's beating" This could be a reference to suicide.
"I'll be your eyes when yours can't shine" The singer will be their significant other's happiness when the significant other is going through a difficult time.
"I'll be your arms, I'll be your steady satellite" The singer will be their significant other's rock when everything seems to be falling apart.
"And when you can't rise, well, I'll cry with you on hands and knees" When the significant other is going through their darkest time, the singer will be there for them.
That is just my interpretation of the song, mostly based on personal experience, but I would love to hear other song meanings!
I love this song it's one of my favorites and I think of a lot of my friends every time I hear this song because there always there for me and Rachel's describes how she tells the other person let me help you and be there for you and that's what my friends do I know great friends huh (jk)
