This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I don’t want to get back into the ring
But I feel like these gloves are glued to knuckles
And every time, and every time I try to stand up for myself, yea yea
I start to feel, I feel my knees start to buckle, buckle, yeah…yeahhhhhhhh
One too many blows to the head
Left me for dead, but still I fight on
One too many blows to the head
Left me for dead, but still I fight on
And as I step into the, step into the, step into the, step into the, step into the, step step step into the ring…
I see my opponent, he is 10 feet tall and 500 pounds, yeah, this is getting kind of frightening
(I have no idea what he says here.)
That’s when he turns to me and says, and I quote: “Boy…use a little less whitening, whitening, yeahhhhh”
One too many blows to the head
Left me for dead, but still I fight on
One too many blows to the head
Left me for dead, but still I fight on
Yeah, a da-dat, a da-dat, a da-dat, a da-dat, a dat-dat-dat-dat, waaaa, huhh, uh.
Cos I’ve got everything I want but (???)
Yeah! Hey! L-l-l-la, l-l-l-la, l-l-l-la-la-la-la, wabudo wabudo…knock ‘im out
Dut-dut-dut, dut-dut-dut, dut-dut-dut, dut-dut-dut, dut-dut-dut, yeahhhhhh
One too many blows to the head
Left me for dead, but still I fight on
One too many blows to the head
Left me for dead, but still I fight on
One too many blows to the head, yeah
Left me for dead, but still I fight on
One too many, one-one too many blows to the head
Left me for dead, but still I fight on
But I feel like these gloves are glued to knuckles
And every time, and every time I try to stand up for myself, yea yea
I start to feel, I feel my knees start to buckle, buckle, yeah…yeahhhhhhhh
One too many blows to the head
Left me for dead, but still I fight on
One too many blows to the head
Left me for dead, but still I fight on
And as I step into the, step into the, step into the, step into the, step into the, step step step into the ring…

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.
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.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
I think this song is more about having to go through some sort of routine which is not very enjoyable. I don't think it's so much that life is beating the subject down and he shakes it off, it's more about the opponent being such an impossible challenge. The whole "one too many blows to the head" alluding, of course, to brain damage. To explain why the subject keeps finding himself in this same impossible situation over and over again.
I have definitely used this on a mix CD for a girl I have found myself in a constant state of going out and breaking up with. It's an impossible cycle, I know I shouldn't go back, but I feel like these gloves are glued to my knuckles.
I love the line "And then he turns to me and says, and I quote, 'BOOOOOOOOOY!!!!!'"
