This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
But here we are again
And we're looking at each other as if each other were to blame
You think you're so smart, but I've seen you naked
And I'll probably see you naked again
Milli Vanilli told you to blame it on the rain
But if you blame it on the rain, tell me what can be gained so
If all else fails, you can blame it on me
If all else fails, you can blame it on me
If all else fails, you can blame it on me
If all else fails, blame it on me
But if all else fails, you can blame it on me
Then you smile again
But you're looking at me like there's something I'm supposed to say
Forgive me, Father But I'm falling in love
And that's all I have for confession today
Maybe if you'd ask me on any other given day
I wouldn't have time for you or anything that you say
But it's alright now, you can blame it on me
If all else fails, you can blame it on me
If all else fails, you can blame it on me
If all else fails, blame it on me
But if all else fails, you can blame it on me
Yes dear I love you
But sometimes I think that love's not enough for you
So you want to play mind games
Well that's fine, go ahead, la, la, la, I can't hear you
But here you are and you're a hundred thousand miles away, yeah
They say that absence makes the heart grow fungus
I wax poetic as you're waxing your legs
Oh, you say there's a traitor among us (whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh)
If all else fails, you can blame it on me (you can blame it on me)
If all else fails, you can blame it on me
If all else fails, blame it on me
But if all else fails you can blame it on me
And we're looking at each other as if each other were to blame
You think you're so smart, but I've seen you naked
And I'll probably see you naked again
Milli Vanilli told you to blame it on the rain
But if you blame it on the rain, tell me what can be gained so
If all else fails, you can blame it on me
If all else fails, you can blame it on me
If all else fails, you can blame it on me
If all else fails, blame it on me
But if all else fails, you can blame it on me
Then you smile again
But you're looking at me like there's something I'm supposed to say
Forgive me, Father But I'm falling in love
And that's all I have for confession today
Maybe if you'd ask me on any other given day
I wouldn't have time for you or anything that you say
But it's alright now, you can blame it on me
If all else fails, you can blame it on me
If all else fails, you can blame it on me
If all else fails, blame it on me
But if all else fails, you can blame it on me
Yes dear I love you
But sometimes I think that love's not enough for you
So you want to play mind games
Well that's fine, go ahead, la, la, la, I can't hear you

If all else fails, you can blame it on me
If all else fails, blame it on me

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
No Surprises

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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I think it's about a relationship that the two of them are trying to repair, but they both have an idea of that improvement and both think that they're right (hence "Then you smile again, but you're looking at me Like there's something I'm supposed to say", and the part about mind games)
This makes them kinda distant, further damaging the relationship (see awesome fungus line). With that in mind, the title lyric seems pretty sarcastic/ironic, but at some point, near the end I think, it begins to seem sincere, like the narrator's willing to take the blame for the sake of the relationship.
gosh, that last paragraph was full of Shatner pauses, or preferably, Goldblum pauses. Anyway, I love this song.
nine years???? Wow!! I've only listened to them for almost a year now.
Steven Page for President!!
This song is pretty self explanatory. The two got in a fight and the "you" of the song is needing someone to blame the quarrel on. Steven tells "you" that you can just blame it on him. I've been a full-out BNL fan for 9 years and this is one of my favorites. I love how the flavor changes throughout the song as the moods change.
Besides...this author got the lyrics wrong. The second verse goes: Then you smile again, but you're lookin' at me like there's something I'm s'posed to say, Forgive me Father, but I'm fallin' in love- and that's all I have for Confession today. Maybe if you ask me on any other given day, I wouldn't have time for you, or anything that you say, So right now, you can blame it on me.
Steven Page can't be president, dilhole. He's Canadian. They have a monarchy.
try to understand a light hearted, ironic joke. im quite sure she isnt a serious protester for Steven Page to become President
wow I'm surprised this song hasn't gotten more comments, a song that speaks to me, more now then ever.
I love this song - partly because of the way they play with words (they say that absence makes the heart grow fungus) expectations (I wax poetic while you're waxing your legs) and how they seem to capture a hard to express idea/feeling in so few words (think you're so smart, but I've seen you naked).
BNL is one of the few bands who actually capture the ways and things that I feel myself. Not just the "She's pretty! Song song singing" pop stuff that gets recorded and pushed for singles every day.
I've been listening to BNL for about 9 years myself too. This is still one of my favorite songs as well :)
Here we are again, and we're looking at each other As if each other were to blame You think you're so smart, but I've seen you naked And I'll probably see you naked again Milli Vanilli told you to blame it on on the rain, But if you blame it on the rain, tell me what can be gained so If all else fails, you can blame it on me.
Chorus If all else fails, you can blame it on me. If all else fails, you can blame it on me. If all else fails, blame it on me. And if all else fails, you can blame it on me.
Then you smile again, but you're looking at me Like there's something I'm supposed to say Forgive me Father, but I've fallen in love And that's all I have for confession today Maybe if you asked me on any other given day I wouldn't have time for you or anything that you say, But it's all right now, you can blame it on me.
Chorus
Yes, dear, I love you, But sometimes I think that love's not enough for you So you want to play mind games Well that's fine, go ahead; la la la, I can't hear you
Well here you are and you're a hundred thousand miles away They say that absence makes the heart grow fungus I wax poetic 'cause you're waxing your legs And you say you think there's a traitor among us If all else fails, you can blame it on me.
Chorus
Still not quite right, but closer anyway.
