This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Sister Renee, the jack of all trades
Don't put that hatchet in my back, in my back
Watch myself fade on the bed that was made
Not by Nurse Ratchet but by you, yeah by you
Your uniform fits the charm and the wit
Life on the top floor by my side, by my side
I'm down in a pit with nowhere to sit
With a wrought iron door that separates us, separates
You gave me some poppyseed and we lay here for hours
Heal these blisters sacred sister
I will miss her so
Heal these blisters sacred sister
I will miss her so
Sister Renee, you've got it made
Moving to a place that is warm, oh so warm
What can I say, I want you to stay
I'll touch your face with my fingers and my thumbs
You gave me some poppyseed and we lay here for hours
Heal these blisters sacred sister
I will miss her so
Heal these blisters sacred sister
I will miss her so
I will miss her so
I will miss her so
I will miss her so
Don't put that hatchet in my back, in my back
Watch myself fade on the bed that was made
Not by Nurse Ratchet but by you, yeah by you
Your uniform fits the charm and the wit
Life on the top floor by my side, by my side
I'm down in a pit with nowhere to sit
With a wrought iron door that separates us, separates
You gave me some poppyseed and we lay here for hours
Heal these blisters sacred sister
I will miss her so
Heal these blisters sacred sister
I will miss her so
Sister Renee, you've got it made
Moving to a place that is warm, oh so warm
What can I say, I want you to stay
I'll touch your face with my fingers and my thumbs
You gave me some poppyseed and we lay here for hours
Heal these blisters sacred sister
I will miss her so
Heal these blisters sacred sister
I will miss her so
I will miss her so
I will miss her so
I will miss her so

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.

such an amazing song. beautiful.
Nice voice, shown well in this song. A must listen to.
I read in an interview that this song was about a man in a hospital who falls in love with the nurse tending to him. The poppyseed refers to the morphine that she administers to him.
