This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Happy Hour's next door
But you'll have to brave the downpour, I’m staying here
Where I can get a song free with my drink to smooth things along
The bartender, he looks kind of sauced but he always knows what's going down
It’s all how you carry yourself here at the holiday cocktail lounge
I didn't talk or say much but I got to know a lot
The greatest delicacies of Spain
The effects of rain on your brain
Another drink with my free song
The usual things they come and move along
Here at the holiday cocktail lounge
I have heard some places can change how you feel
It's not something you can see
But I think that it's real
Words that were spoken of passing thoughts in the mind
Somebody just rolled through and they left them behind
Maybe they sat in this very stool
And didn't make a sound
They just came and went
Here at the holiday cocktail lounge
But you'll have to brave the downpour, I’m staying here
Where I can get a song free with my drink to smooth things along
The bartender, he looks kind of sauced but he always knows what's going down
It’s all how you carry yourself here at the holiday cocktail lounge
I didn't talk or say much but I got to know a lot
The greatest delicacies of Spain
The effects of rain on your brain
Another drink with my free song
The usual things they come and move along
Here at the holiday cocktail lounge
I have heard some places can change how you feel
It's not something you can see
But I think that it's real
Words that were spoken of passing thoughts in the mind
Somebody just rolled through and they left them behind
Maybe they sat in this very stool
And didn't make a sound
They just came and went
Here at the holiday cocktail lounge

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.

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.
This song is about a wonderful, dingy, little dive bar that existed for about 47 years in the East Village, on St. Marks near 1st ave. Sadly, the Holiday Cocktail Lounge closed in January 2012. It was a storied place, where I bet no small number of would-be and had-been punks got plastered over the years.
