This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Taking shelter by the standing stones
Miles from all that moves
Breathing solitude, seeking confidence
A gift to me
Feeling spirits never far removed
Passing over me
And I greet them with open arms
Hand fighting hand
As you turn to a man of two worlds
Taobh ri taobh, tha sinn mar aon de dha shaoghail
Làmh nam làimh, gabhadh aithne air linn a dh'fhalbh
Reading passages of ancient rhyme
Cut so deep, so old
Telling tales of travelers and mystery
Hearing spirits never far removed
Calling out aloud
When the time comes, they'll talk to me
Hand fighting hand
As you turn to a man of two worlds
Taobh ri taobh, tha sinn mar aon de dha shaoghail's
mo làmh nad làimh, gabhadh aithne air na tìrean chéine
Hand fighting hand
As you turn to a man of two worlds
Feel the presence moving into me
Painting pictures with its words
Oh, seeing places that I've never seen
Like a door thrown open
On a life I've lived before
Taobh ri taobh, do làmh nam làimh
Tha sinn mar aon de dha shaoghail
Taobh ri taobh, do làmh nam làimh
Tha sinn mar aon de dha shaoghail
Miles from all that moves
Breathing solitude, seeking confidence
A gift to me
Feeling spirits never far removed
Passing over me
And I greet them with open arms
Hand fighting hand
As you turn to a man of two worlds
Taobh ri taobh, tha sinn mar aon de dha shaoghail
Làmh nam làimh, gabhadh aithne air linn a dh'fhalbh

Hearing spirits never far removed
Calling out aloud
When the time comes, they'll talk to me

Tha sinn mar aon de dha shaoghail

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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I agree with the last post, it obviously tells of a spiritual experience and seems to some extent to have pagan leanings. I confess to having similar experiences at other sacred sites and its for this reason that this song is my favourite from the album.
This song is about a spirtual experience and vision that Midge Ure had or possibly just made up for the song. It involves the spirits of his Scottish ancestors contacting him while standing at the Callanish Stones, a plance not unlike Stonehenge. I love the female Gaelic vocals. Probably the best song on the album 'Lament'
Reminds me of Highlander.
True New-Romantic song
Love this song and Ultravox is one off my fav. band of the 80th. Its gaelica the girl singing in it, and it says:
Alongside, we are one of two worlds Hand in hand, recognizing the past
