This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Taking part's what counts, but you were not around,
never understand my goals for you
Looking back, seems that everyone in my life, I will be waiting for you
I will be waiting for you until the evidence conveys another side
You’ll never understand my hopes for you
Sleeveless in miniature, monster overture, never be complete unless you know
Looking back, seems that everyone in my life will be waiting for me
I will be waiting for you until the evidence conveys another side
Have you found your way home? Have you found your way? I feel wondrous, controlling me seems like a good idea
I'll do my best to uphold you, but I know that in the night
Ever wonder if it's forever, the moment passes, but I feel you now
I feel wondrous and holy and I know it's all right
I'll do my best to uphold you and I know that in the night
Ever wonder if it's forever, the moment passes,
but I feel you now, all the way down
So I'll try not to breathe as I hold my head still,
the light bends on my face, there’d be tears if I cried
And I'll try not to think what the happy things were
I just think of the stuff that just made me shit scared
And I'll just close my eyes and I’ll see everyone
that I’m leaving behind for the dawn of the sun
And I'll try not to feel, yes I'll try not to feel,
and I'll try not to feel on the way down
never understand my goals for you
Looking back, seems that everyone in my life, I will be waiting for you
I will be waiting for you until the evidence conveys another side
You’ll never understand my hopes for you
Sleeveless in miniature, monster overture, never be complete unless you know
Looking back, seems that everyone in my life will be waiting for me
I will be waiting for you until the evidence conveys another side
Have you found your way home? Have you found your way? I feel wondrous, controlling me seems like a good idea
I'll do my best to uphold you, but I know that in the night
Ever wonder if it's forever, the moment passes, but I feel you now
I feel wondrous and holy and I know it's all right
I'll do my best to uphold you and I know that in the night
Ever wonder if it's forever, the moment passes,
but I feel you now, all the way down
So I'll try not to breathe as I hold my head still,
the light bends on my face, there’d be tears if I cried
And I'll try not to think what the happy things were
I just think of the stuff that just made me shit scared
And I'll just close my eyes and I’ll see everyone
that I’m leaving behind for the dawn of the sun
And I'll try not to feel, yes I'll try not to feel,
and I'll try not to feel on the way down

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.
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.
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.
The line I'll try not breathe as I hold my head still is an adaption of a lyric from an R.E.M song ironically entitled "try not to breathe"
The R.E.M. song is about suicide, and I think this one is too. It's possibly written at different points in the characters mind, as it's hard to tie the beginning in with the end as a continuous series of events.<br /> <br /> At first, the character seems to be pondering mortality, the existence of God and eternal life.<br /> I think the line "Looking back, seems that everyone in my life will be waiting for me," is saying that this person has lost a lot of loved ones and seems to believe that when they die there will be a reunion.<br /> The line, "Have you found your way home?" is possibly asking if someone has made it to the afterlife, to heaven, but I'm not completely certain about that.<br /> <br /> The last part that Simon sings with "All the way down" being repeated in the background to me could be about nothing else but the character's impending suicide. First there's the R.E.M. reference.<br /> Then "And I'll try not to think what the happy things were <br /> I just think of the stuff that just made me shit scared." I think this is someone who, after condoning the fact that they want to end their life, is now convincing themselves. They don't want to think about the happy times in life, for fear of changing their minds.<br /> "And I'll just close my eyes and I'll see everyone <br /> that I'm leaving behind for the dawn of the sun." I think this is after going through with it, spending their final moments in this world thinking about their loved ones. <br /> "And I'll try not to feel, yes I'll try not to feel, <br /> and I'll try not to feel on the way down." This is a hope that it won't last long, that it won't be a painful experience. <br /> <br /> So overall I think it's someone who's down, has lost a lot of friends and is considering where they will go after this life, and at the end I think they decide to end their life. Sorry for making this such a downer, but this is how I've always interpreted this song, not sure if others will agree.
