This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Some of my otherwise brilliant and productive friends (like scoundrels and their flags) take final refuge in character assainations; they ignore the issue and deny the relation between our consumption and brutality. So you can go ahead and roll your eyes and marginalize me/socially penalize me: play on my insecurities. And you can feign ignorance, but you're not stupid, you're just selfish. And you're a slave to your impulse. And I kinda thought we all shared common threads in that we gravitated here to challenge the conventions we've been fed by a culture that treats (living, breathing, feeling) creatures like (biological) machines. And if you buy that shit then how long 'till it's me who serves as your commodity? Through (for example), institutionalized violence and opression of workers and women raped by sexism (and how about native americans?). Do you still insist on feigning indignance (aka: indignation) to reason? To collective self-interest? Tell you what- I'll call you on your shit, PLEASE CALL ME ON MINE. Then we can grow together and make this shit-hole planet better in time. So why not consider someone else: STOP CONSUMING ANIMALS.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but 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.

“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.
since when is propagandhi pop-punk?
I always took this as a song aimed at people who question/argue/ridicule vegetarians/vegans for living this lifestyle. Even while these people might share the same views about everything else. I'm a vegetarian, and I can relate to this song, because almost every meat eating person immediately questions motives, or scoffs upon being informed about vegetarianism.
@DroppedMidget It's good, I see the relation between everything I hate and factory farms...yet, I only reduced meat intake in my life after leaving the old folks, can't remove it entirely, I have meat about 10 days a month (and just that is giving a lot less of money into the system and better for your health).
PROPAGANDHI IS NOT POP PUNK.
haha, omg, that's what i do too, parkerman :) i don't want to, but i can't help myself.
This lyricist is way way good. He puts fuckin university lecture shit to punk pop. This song rules.
i wish i was vegan. :|
bukowski_punk: why aren't you, then? take the plunge, it's not that hard. :)
xThePunishedx: ditto what skunkbythebrook said... ::confused::
this is an awesome song, though I would expect nothing less from propagandhi.
i just wanted you all to know that bukowski_punk was me a year and a half ago, and im vegan now and fucking proud. thank you, propagandhi. (internet success story, hahaha).
god,... punk-pop? what the fuck? Correct me if im wrong but i think propagandhi would SHUDDER if they read that post. and yeah, i guess everyone realizes the meaning in this one...
What's wrong with calling Propagandhi punk-pop? They're definitely not punk. Anyone who gets offended by people calling Propagandhi pop-punk is obviously very insecure about the music they like.
What's wrong with describing an apple as an orange? Not much, no one gets hurt.<br /> <br /> Consider your statement applied to fruit:<br /> <br /> Anyone who gets offended by people calling an apple an orange is obviously very insecure about the fruit they like. <br /> <br /> Nope, they just know that you're eating an apple, not an orange. <br /> <br /> Even in '05 they called their style progressive thrash.
If you enjoy the message of this song read Tom Regan's "The Case for Animal Rights". Probably the most cogent argument as to why the consumption of animals is wrong.
