This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
People like you are
The reason I keep the good so close
And here you are so impressed with yourself
I see right through you
I see right through you
How many people do you plan to burn?
And all the damage left at every turn
You watched us struggle
And now your parched with a thirst for attention
To fuel the fire of your self obsession
We'll watch you crumble
You are the scum of the world
And we'll watch you fall
People like you are
The reason I keep the good so close
And here you are so impressed with yourself
I see right through you
And we intend to
Let the world know the truth
Let the world know the truth
You sit there and smile so smug in your skin
Second and third chances gone in the wind
I lied, and I begged, I swore I would change
What do expect of me!
Fuck
You'll never know true unity
Look around you
Look around you
Everyone is terrified
One wrong move
One wrong move
And their dream won't survive
You said
"You better keep your fucking mouth shut I gotta close mine, and no time to lose."
Bow to the stronger element
The truth will outweigh you
All it took was a spark right?
People like you are
The reason I keep the good so close
And here you are so impressed with yourself
I see right through you
I see right through you
People like you are the reason I keep the good so close
People like you are
The reason I keep the good so close
And here you are so impressed with yourself
I see right through you
And we intend to
Let the world know the truth
Let the world know the truth
Watch your back when your out on the town tonight
At every corner I lurk in the dark like the shadow on these very walls
Put the man on trial
I bet he turn colors that he's never shown.
Put the man on trial
I bet he turn colors that he's never shown.
Watch your back when your out on the down tonight
At every corner I lurk in the dark like the shadow on these very walls
Put the man on trial
I bet he turn colors that he's never shown
Put the man on trial
I bet he turn colors that he's never shown.
The reason I keep the good so close
And here you are so impressed with yourself
I see right through you
I see right through you
How many people do you plan to burn?
And all the damage left at every turn
You watched us struggle
And now your parched with a thirst for attention
To fuel the fire of your self obsession
We'll watch you crumble
You are the scum of the world
And we'll watch you fall

Let the world know the truth
Let the world know the truth
You sit there and smile so smug in your skin

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.
Amazing

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.
I work in the diamond mines we dig for things like you
I love that line.
It seems to me as though they both hate each other, but are still sexually attracted to each other. But there are many ways to take this song. It's like hot, angry sex. I love it.
