This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Always, known in, all my time
A little left of center now
Reflect as I realize
That all I need is to find the middle pillar path to sit like the sun by a
Star in the sky and just be
Sinners, casting stones at me
I'll stand, not crawling, not falling down
I'll bleed the demons that drag me down
I'll stand, (for nothing),not crawling, (the center),not falling down
(of calms within the eye)
I'll bleed, (for no one),the demons, (but myself),that pull me down
(for me and no one else)
Goodbye, sunshine, I've put it out again, sad
I'm over, personalities, conflicting
I don't need you, or anyone, but me
I'll just be, living my own life
I feel my glowing center grow, infecting I feel alive
Shovel dirt over lime
Plant it in myself to sit like a seed under covers of earth and just be
Sinners, pointing fingers at me
I'll stand, (for nothing),not crawling, (by myself),not falling down
I'll bleed, (for no one), the demons, (but myself), that drag me down
I'll stand, (for nothing),not crawling, (the center),not falling down
(of calms within the eye)
I'll bleed, (for no one),the demons, (but myself),that pull me down
(for me and no one else)
Come play kill
Refuse my body, refuse my shadow
Stone cold will
Refuse to lead this, refuse to follow
Bitter pills
Refuse to feed this, refuse to swallow, I'm fueled godless
Come play, come play
Kill
Just be, just be
I'll stand, (for nothing),not crawling, (by myself),not falling down
I'll bleed, (for no one), the demons, (but myself), that drag me down
I'll stand, (for nothing),not crawling, (the center),not falling down
(of calms within the eye)
I'll bleed, (for no one),the demons, (but myself),that drag me down
(for me and no one else)

Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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.
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.

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 hear "I feed the demons" and not bleed
