This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
You will release your life
Forgetting what's forsaken the reason why
You are alone again
You will believe the lie
Judging from what you've taken
You breathe, alive
You are alone again
From the heart of darkness
You call to me
Spirit racing on
There is nothing I can do
For you are next to no one
You will release your life
Joining with the god damned world
Of the dead and the lonely
You'll never leave alive
Now do you think you're too damn good
For the killing kind
You will begin to cry
Hearing the silence breaking
You breathe, alive
But you are alone again
From the heart of darkness
You call to me
Spirit raging on
There is nothing I can do
For you are next to no one
You will release your life
Joining with the god damned world
Of the dead and the lonely
You'll never leave alive
Now do you think you're too damn good
For the killing kind
You will release your life
Forgetting what's forsaken
You breathe, alive
You are alone again
You will release your life
Joining with the god damned world
Of the dead and the lonely
You'll never leave alive
Now do you think you're too damn good
For the killing kind
Nothing I can do
Forgetting what's forsaken the reason why
You are alone again
You will believe the lie
Judging from what you've taken
You breathe, alive
You are alone again
From the heart of darkness
You call to me
Spirit racing on
There is nothing I can do
For you are next to no one
You will release your life
Joining with the god damned world
Of the dead and the lonely
You'll never leave alive
Now do you think you're too damn good
For the killing kind
You will begin to cry
Hearing the silence breaking
You breathe, alive
But you are alone again
From the heart of darkness
You call to me
Spirit raging on
There is nothing I can do
For you are next to no one
You will release your life
Joining with the god damned world
Of the dead and the lonely
You'll never leave alive
Now do you think you're too damn good
For the killing kind
You will release your life
Forgetting what's forsaken
You breathe, alive
You are alone again
You will release your life
Joining with the god damned world
Of the dead and the lonely
You'll never leave alive
Now do you think you're too damn good
For the killing kind
Nothing I can do

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,
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
well after reading the lyrics over and over again, I stumbled on the first part, "you will release your life forgetting what is forsaken the reason why you are alone again you will believe the lie judging from what you have taken you breathe alive you are alone again." so , since there whole cover is about religion and this is a religious theme obviously , i interpreted it as the lie being the garden of eden, when eve was decieved and believed the lie, that she could make decisions on her own independantly form god "judging from what youve taken" (hence the forbidden fruit), . after I interpreted it as that I noticed that part that states "you breathe alive, you are alone again" so, mankiind has continued breathing and is alive, however they are alone from god. and then he goes on to sing "you will release your life, joining with the goddamned world.......of the dead and lonely you will never leave alive, now do you think you are too damn good for the killing kind" , there I thought still that this world is damned for destruction and do people think they are too damn good for the killing kind. that the world has released their lives, and they won't leave alive." hence no one will escape the destruction of evil mankind that continues on their own away from god. I hope this doesn't confuse anyone, but this is my interpretation of what he meant, also if anyone noticed those really tiny words in the middle of the lyrics that divides the sections, it almost explains davids meaning of the cd and why it is called believe.
