This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Sunday morning
Brings the dawn in
It's just a restless feeling
By my side
Early dawning
Sunday morning
It's just the wasted years
So close behind
Watch out, the world's behind you
There's always someone around you
Who will call
It's nothing at all
Sunday morning
And I'm falling
I've got a feeling
I don't want to know
Early dawning
Sunday morning
It's all the streets you've crossed
Not so long ago
Watch out, the world's behind you
There's always someone around you
Who will call
It's nothing at all
Watch out, the world's behind you
There's always someone around you
Who will call
It's nothing at all
Sunday morning
Sunday morning
Sunday morning
Sunday morning
Brings the dawn in
It's just a restless feeling
By my side
Early dawning
Sunday morning
It's just the wasted years
So close behind
Watch out, the world's behind you
There's always someone around you
Who will call
It's nothing at all
Sunday morning
And I'm falling
I've got a feeling
I don't want to know
Early dawning
Sunday morning
It's all the streets you've crossed
Not so long ago
Watch out, the world's behind you
There's always someone around you
Who will call
It's nothing at all
Watch out, the world's behind you
There's always someone around you
Who will call
It's nothing at all
Sunday morning

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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
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.
"Watch out, the world's behind you", man that is such an amazing lyric. Sometimes you're just sitting there and you feel the weight of everything, from all the years that have flown by too fast too make sense of anything, like life is just too incomprehensible. It's as if "the world" is sneaking up on you, like you can't escape time and you will never get a chance to figure it out, what any of it means or who you really are. I think thats how Lou was feeling when he wrote this, like this great big world was gonna get the better of him.
@zepkid5678 posted in 2007, yes, but it's a timeless topic....wtv:)) ok, so coming down from a drug-induced party night (Saturday), one has a restless feeling and one is a bit paranoid, irascible, but it's really nothing at all, don't worry about the thoughts, it's illusion, it'll pass, your friends are there for you, the world's behind you, someone will call, supporting you, they're 'behind you' in that sense... so, i don't agree with the 2007 interpretation and the upvoters. <br /> <br /> from songfactsdotcom (online, 2b verified) "Lou Reed wrote this on a Sunday morning around 6 a.m. Andy Warhol ... suggested he write a song about the paranoia associated with the effects of a drug wearing off." it's uplifting/reassuring
it kind of reminds me of depression. when you feel like youre just slipping from the world and you feel no one is there for you. then you have all the people who are there for you.
I dont think the lyrics reflects anything that has happened before the "Sunday Morning" - Sunday to me is a day of nothing-that-has-to-be-done. You go up whenever you want, you dont have do do anything, just sit in your robe and drink coffee by your self.
There is something very rare about such moments, when you're in a mood when nothing really bothers you and it feels like time has stopped and you have absolutely nothing to do because you dont want to have anything to do. At least that is what I think this song so perfectly describes.
I think this song represents a tranquile feeling or state of mind, with a disturbing reminiscent undertone. This song is about a peaceful day with lots of time to think. In using this time to comtemplate one's life, the artist has discovered a sense of regret for their past. This brings on a sense of paranioa which describes the lyrics "watch out the world's behind you". The lyrics "praise the dawning" can also symbolize regrets that belong to the night before. The end lyrics can symbolize a traumatized state of mind because it seems they can't tell if someone is calling their name, or if they just imagined it. Their are conflicting elements in this song, which make it so interesting because the mood and melody of the song is one of tranquility, but there are hidden feelings of the opposite.
I'm pretty convinced that this is the greatest song of all time
Which is interesting considering it was only included as an "afterthought" for the album when the producer, Tom Wilson, decided they needed another song for Nico to sing, so they wrote this and just threw it at the start.<br /> <br /> After Nico sang it live several times, Lou declared he would sing lead vocals on the recording.<br /> <br /> The use of the celesta was suggested by John Cale when he noticed the instrument lying around the studio.<br /> <br /> This song was basically unplanned, but my god it turned out well.
The lyrics are great and the meaning is clear.
I think one of the crowning achievements of the original recording is the way the bells were recorded. Its almost as if after waking up before noon on one of the rare weekends of peace, one walks by the windows to see the sun shining brightly through the glass. A warm, nostalgic feeling characterized perfectly in the gentle clipping of the bells on the tape.
...i've lived this song so many times after those saturday nights out getting warped out of your mind...the buzz slowly wears off and you're getting this splitting headache from too many drinks...watching your parents go to church while you slowly sneak your way to the room to pass out...lou reed described it as feeling like dracula...but schizophrenia is another piece to the puzzle...wdc
this song is so nostalgic that i almost cry everytime I listen to this song. I think that author is not in the state described in the lyrics, but he just remembers all yesterday parties which were wild but which are gone now and currently he's stuck in much worse situation and he tells himself about this restlesness he felt then. i have the same feelings very often and this song reminds me of all "the wasted years so close behind"
I first heard this song last summer, driving back from Portland Head (UK) as the sun was going down. It came on the radio and instantly captivated me. I was in love.
Later that summer, driving to Cornwall this time, I played over and over again on the 6 hour journey, managing to zone out from the inane radio babble everyone else was listening to. I can remember coming over the hill and seeing St Michaels Mount in the fading light, as the lines 'It's just the wasted years so close behind' played in my ears. Somehow, it was the most perfect moment I have ever experienced.
I have never tried drugs (I'm 15 for goodness sake) but this song still means more to me than any other song has ever managed to. I think the 788 plays on iTunes (in under a year) expresses that better than I can.
Peace guys...
This is one of the best songs ever written about waking up after a night of hard partying and feeling the damage. The restlessness, the paranoia, the way not only the night before, but your entire life is scrutinized.... It relates the self-doubt, the guilt, and the people who try to reassure you "It's nothing at all." Lou Reed was a lyrical genius, and the way he was able to capture those subtle feelings that people have but aren't necessarily proud of is one of his greatest accomplishments.
