This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I don't want to say "I love you"
That would give away too much.
It's hip to be detached and precious,
The only thing you feel is vicious.
I don't want to say "I want you"
Even though I want you so much.
It's wrapped up in conversation,
It's whispered in a hush.
Though I'm frightened by the word,
Think it's time I made it heard.
No more empty self possession,
Visions swept under the mat.
It's no New Years resolution,
It's more than that.
Now I wake up happy
Warm in lovers embrace.
No one else can touch us
While we're in this place.
So I'll sing it to the world
This simple message to my girl.
No more empty self possession,
Visions swept under the mat.
It's no New Years resolution,
It's more than that.
Though I'm frightened by the word,
Think it's time I made it heard.
So I'll sing it to the world
This simple message to my girl.
No more empty self possession,
Visions swept under the mat.
It's no New Years resolution,
It's more than that.
Oh there's nothing quite as real
As the touch of your sweet hands.
I can't spend the rest of my life
Buried in the sand
That would give away too much.
It's hip to be detached and precious,
The only thing you feel is vicious.
I don't want to say "I want you"
Even though I want you so much.
It's wrapped up in conversation,
It's whispered in a hush.
Though I'm frightened by the word,
Think it's time I made it heard.
No more empty self possession,
Visions swept under the mat.
It's no New Years resolution,
It's more than that.
Now I wake up happy
Warm in lovers embrace.
No one else can touch us
While we're in this place.
So I'll sing it to the world
This simple message to my girl.
No more empty self possession,
Visions swept under the mat.
It's no New Years resolution,
It's more than that.
Though I'm frightened by the word,
Think it's time I made it heard.
So I'll sing it to the world
This simple message to my girl.
No more empty self possession,
Visions swept under the mat.
It's no New Years resolution,
It's more than that.
Oh there's nothing quite as real
As the touch of your sweet hands.
I can't spend the rest of my life
Buried in the sand

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

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.

Page

Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I think the singer has some superficial objections to say \'I love you\' and other \'corny statements he first feels to \'hip\' for.\n\nBut as the pressure becomes higher he decides the time has come to tell his girl he loves her, and no longer cares as much for his earlier objections.\n\nFinally he is in a state in which he wants to sing it to the world, no matter what, no longer wants to bury his head in the sand, ignoring the drive to share his feelings.
