This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I want to hold you but you're out of reach
Somewhere searching for your inner peace
I'm just looking for a little squeeze
Face to face and cheek to cheek
It's in your blood but not in mine
What's in your blood is in my mind
Something's broken in the way we smile
It is within us all the time
You're well acquainted with the So- o- o-Ho
And all the "Ello" and "Ow are 'you?"
And we both have to get it on before the summer's gone
We gotta hurry with no worry to get done today
'Cause one of us is gonna die young
Let's put our money where our mouth is and get out today
'Cause one of us is gonna die young
Ooh, Ooh, One of us is gonna die young
Ooh, Ooh, One of us is gonna die young
And don't you take this the wrong way
I'm not looking for a way to replace what love can give
'Cause you can't do that!
I'm only saying that where I come from
People find it very fashionable
To burn like a flame
Never get tame
Grown-up and lame
Yeah! Yeah!
You're looking beat but you say: "no, oh, no, no"
"I'm all messed up and I'm ready to go!
We ain't gonna go it alone no more
So let's get on with the show…"
There's a lot to be said and to be done today
'Cause one of us is gonna die young
Before they put us in a coffin I've got things to say
One of us is gonna die young
One of us is gonna die young
Ooh, ooh, one of us is gonna die young
Ooh, ooh, one of us is gonna die young
There's a lot to be said and to be done today
'Cause one of us is gonna die young
We'll go shim-shim shammey
And get whimsy and get whammy
'Cause one of us is gonna die young
One of us is gonna die young
One of us is gonna die young
Somewhere searching for your inner peace
I'm just looking for a little squeeze
Face to face and cheek to cheek
It's in your blood but not in mine
What's in your blood is in my mind
Something's broken in the way we smile
It is within us all the time
You're well acquainted with the So- o- o-Ho
And all the "Ello" and "Ow are 'you?"
And we both have to get it on before the summer's gone
We gotta hurry with no worry to get done today
'Cause one of us is gonna die young
Let's put our money where our mouth is and get out today
'Cause one of us is gonna die young
Ooh, Ooh, One of us is gonna die young
Ooh, Ooh, One of us is gonna die young
And don't you take this the wrong way
I'm not looking for a way to replace what love can give
'Cause you can't do that!
I'm only saying that where I come from

Before they put us in a coffin I've got things to say
One of us is gonna die young
One of us is gonna die young
Ooh, ooh, one of us is gonna die young
Ooh, ooh, one of us is gonna die young
There's a lot to be said and to be done today
'Cause one of us is gonna die young
We'll go shim-shim shammey
And get whimsy and get whammy
'Cause one of us is gonna die young
One of us is gonna die young
One of us is gonna die young

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
sisinki, too me it sounds like HIV too.
The "It's in your blood but it's not in mine, what's in your blood is in my mind", could easily be his way of saying that though this friend is infected with the virus it could have been him as well, and they are still the same anyway. Also the line "Let's get on with the show" could be a tribute to Freddie Mercury's "the Show must go on" and a reference to his death.
No matter what it seems pretty clear that the one who's gonna die young isn't the singer but a the other one. I've never read the lyrics before now and I have also just listened half to it and always thought it was about "carpe diem" and "live fast, die young", but I don't think so anymore.
