This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
One set of doors was the color of honey
One set of doors was pink and grey
Well I wonder which set is mine, said she
As she walked down the long hallway
Well I wonder which set of rooms are mine
For in these rooms she would live and die
Well it's better to have loved and lost
(Ah but it's better not to lose)
Than to never have love at all
(Never have loved, never have loved at all)
Well it's better to have loved and lost
(Ah but it's better not to lose)
Than to always be alone
(Always be alone) in your heart
I thought that there was more involved
Through all that time and all these months
I stopped many times to question you
Well I told you that it was the right thing to do
Well it's better to have loved and lost
(Ah but it's better not to lose)
Than to never have loved at all
(Never have loved, never have loved at all)
Yes it's better to have loved and lost
(Ah but it's better not to lose)
Than to always be alone
(Always be alone) in your heart
But I knew that this was just for now
And that time would take it's toll upon us all
Well it would break our hearts
Tear it apart
But no one understood
The affairs of the heart
Well it's better to have loved and lost
Than to never have loved at all
(Never have loved, never have loved at all)
Well it'll break your heart, tear it apart
But no one understands (no one understands)
The affairs of the heart
One set of doors was pink and grey
Well I wonder which set is mine, said she
As she walked down the long hallway
Well I wonder which set of rooms are mine
For in these rooms she would live and die
Well it's better to have loved and lost
(Ah but it's better not to lose)
Than to never have love at all
(Never have loved, never have loved at all)
Well it's better to have loved and lost
(Ah but it's better not to lose)
Than to always be alone
(Always be alone) in your heart
I thought that there was more involved
Through all that time and all these months
I stopped many times to question you
Well I told you that it was the right thing to do
Well it's better to have loved and lost
(Ah but it's better not to lose)
Than to never have loved at all
(Never have loved, never have loved at all)
Yes it's better to have loved and lost
(Ah but it's better not to lose)
Than to always be alone
(Always be alone) in your heart
But I knew that this was just for now
And that time would take it's toll upon us all
Well it would break our hearts
Tear it apart
But no one understood
The affairs of the heart
Well it's better to have loved and lost
Than to never have loved at all
(Never have loved, never have loved at all)
Well it'll break your heart, tear it apart
But no one understands (no one understands)
The affairs of the heart

No Surprises
Radiohead

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.
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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
It's a song about all the different choices we make (the references to the different sets of doors) and about all the different ways that love and relationships can go, but it ultimately takes a cynical tone, with Nicks saying that no matter what choice we make, our relationships will probably come to a crashing end, anyway, because of things like failures communicate and understand each other.
