This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
The first degree was a riot
We're making sure
Our lesson's learned
I'm not ashamed, but I'm trying
I've come to expect
The standards you have set
Tell me just how dangerous is second best
You settle for less
Then I'm sure you'll settle again
There's no stopping me
I'm gutting you out
(Does this make you feel safe?)
There's no stopping this
I'm gutting you out
(Does this make you feel safe?)
The closer that I look is just
The further that you get already
Stubborn skin thickens in attempt to understand
Understand
There's no stopping me
I'm gutting you out
(Does this make you feel safe?)
There's no stopping this
I'm gutting you out
(Does this make you feel safe?)
We got tired, got tired of waiting around (of waiting)
The guilt subsides, the night begins (of waiting)
And I know it's not what you deserve now
Came as a gift from a good friend (a good friend)
That dissapproves (but understands)
To represent and actively encourage all of my worst habits
They all are proof that we are both capable
Of the most terrible things
Don't test me
There's no stopping me
I'm gutting you out
(Does this make you feel safe?)
There's no stopping this
I'm gutting you out
(Does this make you feel safe?)
I got tired, got tired of waiting around (of waiting)
The guilt subsides, the night begins(of waiting)
And I know it's not what you deserve now
I got tired, got tired of waiting around (of waiting)
The guilt subsides, the night begins
And I know it's not what you deserve now
How dangerous is second best?
I know it's not what you deserve
It's not what you deserve
I know it's not what you deserve
I know it's not what you deserve
We're making sure
Our lesson's learned
I'm not ashamed, but I'm trying
I've come to expect
The standards you have set
Tell me just how dangerous is second best
You settle for less
Then I'm sure you'll settle again
There's no stopping me
I'm gutting you out
(Does this make you feel safe?)
There's no stopping this

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.

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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Adam Lazzara is a phenominal lyricist...
Unfortunately Fred Mascherino wrote most of the lyrics for this album.. But Tell all your friends is proof that Adam is too.
To me it sounds like "I'm gunnin you down" but....does anyone have access to the official lyrics maybe in liner notes? prolly not this thing isnt even out for real yet.
ok i have a question.. does anyone know who wrote the lyrics cuz it's not the same as the other cd or is it? did they change so adam isn't writing the lyrics anymore? for some reason i see a total drop in the lyrics : (
This is a really good closing for an amazing album.
Anyway, i think it's talking about all these vices that someone has, ("Came as a gift from a good friend (a good friend) That dissaproves (but understands) To represent and actively encourage all of my worst habits They all are proof that we are both capable Of the most terrible things Don't test me") or something that happened that was particularly negative. He feels far away from the person because (s)he doesn't understand that "there's no stopping" him.
This and Spin are probablty the best on Louder Now, that and Brooklyn which didn't make it because TBS wouldn't know a hit if it hit them in the face, and that atrocious pun was not intended.
real awesome song. just bough the new album and its awesome.
sounds a bit like jesse from Brand New in parts.....great song, off a great album, beats tell all your friends in my opinion...where you want etc isnt even on the same page
it sounds to me like he could have found a girl who was with a good friend of his and kind of took her from him. He feels guilty by messing around with a good friend's g/f but the two of them are so infatuated they can't hold themselves back
He wants to feel guilty and end it but in being honest with himself he knows he's afraid that this girl will leave him.
Does anyone know what that is at the end? It sounds like something being played backwards.
This song is just ah-ma-zing. You've settled for less Then I'm sure you'll settle again. Best line, ever.
