This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
jerry stand up
pull back the curtains and let some light in
quit your job
because you hate it and it's wasting you
once upon a time you were running
singing to the ground every morning
once upon a time you were
jerry stand up
am i the only one who's noticed that you've been missing
remember yourself man
remember that you have chance and possibility
once upon a time you were running
singing to the ground every morning
once upon a time you were crazy
jerry
you're not getting any younger
all you need is fresh air
a nice new suit and a walk in the park every day or two
a nice new suit and a walk in the park every day or two
a nice new suit and a walk in the park every day or two
a nice new suit and a walk in the park every day or two
every day in every way
every day in every way
every day
repeat chorus
(once upon a time . . . crazy . . . [numerous times])

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”

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.
To me, this song is about a man who is depressed and living life in a sad, pittied-way. He lives alone in a dark room, excluding himself from others in an anti-social behavoir because he's so angry at the world and the mindless people that walk it. He quits his job because life just doesn't seem worth it anymore. He asks himself what the use of working is if he's so unhappy with life. It seems at this point that he becomes suicidal, and just just starts running away. Running from his fears, his friends, his "life". Just trying to escape. At this point it seems like Paul is sending out a warning message, saying that he knows somethings not right with Jerry, and he notices that he's missing. He trys to offer advice to make "life better"... "Fresh air, a nice new suit, a walk in the park every day or two". Alltogether it seems like depression and suicidal feelings made "jerry" run from the horrible things in his life and they turned him crazy. It seems like Paul wrote this to warn all of us about suicide and depression and too look out and "notice who's been missing"...
(why are the three dimensions lyrics included in this song?)
this song seems to me like paul reaching out to jerry to discontinue the monotonous way of life he is living. it is "wasting him", and he "isn't getting any younger" - to paul, it is not the life he should be living, especially since at one point in time he was free, happy and unchained ("running, singing, crazy"). his older self has gone "missing". paul is appealing to jerry to "stand up" and take control of his life again, make it what it once was, escape from his current life, "remember himself" - return to his better days.
