This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Got green light, got green light yeah
But I'm going no where
Got green light, got red light yeah
No cop, no stop I don't care
Everyone of you could be the same
Everyone of you could be play the game
Got green light, got green light yeah
But you're going no where
You know the best things in life aren't for me
You know the best things in life aren't for free
Got a new life, got a plight yeah
And it's going no where
Got a mountain top, like a pin drop yeah
No god, no food
I don't care
Everyone of you could be the same
Everyone of you can't play this game
Got a new life, got a plight yeah
And it's going no where
You know the best things in life aren't for me
You know the best things in life aren't for free
Got a new fun, got a new crime yeah
And it's going no where
Like a global pad, like car crash
And no cop, no stop he don't care
Everyone of you are just the same
Everyone of you will play this game
Got a new fun, got a new crime yeah
And it's going, no where
You know the best things in life aren't for me
You know the best things in life aren't for free
You know the best things in life aren't for me
You know the best things in life aren't for free
You know the best things in life aren't for me
You know the best things in life aren't for free
You know the best things in life aren't for me
You know the best things in life aren't for free
But I'm going no where
Got green light, got red light yeah
No cop, no stop I don't care
Everyone of you could be the same
Everyone of you could be play the game
Got green light, got green light yeah
But you're going no where
You know the best things in life aren't for me
You know the best things in life aren't for free
Got a new life, got a plight yeah
And it's going no where
Got a mountain top, like a pin drop yeah
No god, no food
I don't care
Everyone of you could be the same
Everyone of you can't play this game
Got a new life, got a plight yeah
And it's going no where
You know the best things in life aren't for me
You know the best things in life aren't for free
Got a new fun, got a new crime yeah
And it's going no where
Like a global pad, like car crash
And no cop, no stop he don't care
Everyone of you are just the same
Everyone of you will play this game
Got a new fun, got a new crime yeah
And it's going, no where
You know the best things in life aren't for me
You know the best things in life aren't for free
You know the best things in life aren't for me
You know the best things in life aren't for free
You know the best things in life aren't for me
You know the best things in life aren't for free
You know the best things in life aren't for me
You know the best things in life aren't for free

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”

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.

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.
Great song with a trippy chorus chord progression. One of my faves.
I think its about a self-esteem or motivation-free instinct slave becoming aware of himself (yet doing nothing...). I say this from experience, being that I once had no motivation or self esteem (ah, middle and high school).
The instinct slave comes from the metaphor for breaking the law - "No cop, no stop, I don't care" - that comes from a lack of self value, as well as the "...no thought, I don't care" line. The law breaking could be in the metaphor of running a red light, or more than that, IE drug use, indiscriminate drinking, adrenaline thrills, etc. He's also Godless.
Possibly he's aware that he'll never change?
