This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
This house is your own,
Still living alone
It don't make you sad,
But I think it's good to be green
This summer is gone,
And spring don't belong,
The traces are here,
For long winter,
I miss the green,
It used to be clean
If you want to be free,
Please don't fall for me,
I could be anyone but your friend
If you open the door,
I'll give a whole lot more,
I could be anyone, anyone,
Yeah
Assumption is good,
Though not likelihood,
My feeling is true,
I want to be living with you
The truth it begins,
We're breathing it in,
With shadows of doubt,
In time we will all miss the green,
It used to be clean
If you want to be free,
Please don't fall for me,
I could be anyone but your friend
If you open the door,
I'll give a whole lot more,
I could be anyone, anyone,
Yeah
If you want to be free,
Please don't fall for me,
I could be anyone but your friend
If you open the door,
I'll give a whole lot more,
I could be anyone but your friend
Anyone, anyone,
Anyone, nah nah nah no
Anyone, anyone,
Anyone, yeah
If you want to be free,
Please don't fall for me,
I could be anyone but your friend
If you open the door,
I'll give a whole lot more,
I could be anyone but your friend
Anyone, anyone,
Anyone, nah nah nah no
Anyone, anyone,
Anyone, yeah
Seeing is believing,
The feeling is deceiving,
You know it's the truth
When you find that you can't talk
Leaving on this,
All into chaos
Seeing is feeling is
Seeing is feeling is you
Feeling is you woah
Nah Nah Nah no
Anyone Anyone
Anyone Yeah

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”
Gentle Hour

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.
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.
I think of it as a song about old and new relationships, and here is my take on it:
He is at the moment getting over bad times, and is finding pure love with somebody new. The first verse reveals that the girl he is talking to is alone, but he feels it is better to be "green", in a growing, healthy relationship with somebody. In the second verse, he dwells on how his life is a "long winter" of unhappiness because "summer is gone", his happier times are over. He misses the "green" of love.
However, he wants commitment. He doesn't want a casual, short-term relationship. So if the girl wants "to be free", she should not set her sights on him. However, at the moment, it's all or nothing - he feels so much love for her, that if she does not be his forever, then he cannot simply be her friend. If she only opens the "door" of her heart to him, he will give everything he has to make her happy.
After the chorus, we see that he is sure of his feelings: he wants to be living with her, for the rest of his days. And though she may be doubtful, the truth is that she doesn't have forever, and that soon she too will miss a secure relationship as well. So one of the themes is semper fi, "sieze the day".
Combined with the last verse that implies a sense that she is somehow speechless at this request of his ("you know it's the truth when you find that you can't talk") I feel the song is not only about relationships, but about a man proposing to his beloved in the most romantic way he can.
