This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
It's the thoughts that you feed
It's the habits you need
It's the things that you don't think that you're seeing
(When you're really seeing)
That man jumped out the window
(Come back in the window)
That man jumped out the window
(Come back in the window)
It's your tongue in my mouth
It's the things that we're too scared to talk about
It's the feeling that you're dreaming
(But you're not really dreaming)
That man jumped out the window
(Come back in the window)
That man jumped out the window
(Come back in the window)
It's the feeling that you're falling, but there's a fine line between falling and flying
It's the feeling that you've lost it
(Why don't you get it?)
(Why don't you get it?)
That man jumped out the window
(Come back in the window)
That man jumped out the window
(Come back in the window)
It's the thoughts that you feed

@[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.

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.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
i'm pretty sure these are close to accurate, but if you spot any corrections that need to be made, make sure to post and i'll fix 'em.
great song, by the way.
I think this song has a lot to do with internal struggle.
"It's the things that you don't think that you're seein', when you're really seein'"
That lyric makes me think of an all around confusion with what's going on in the world, and how it can be so unthinkable that it's hard to believe it's really happening.
"It's the thoughts that you feed, it's the habits you need"
Things that take your mind off things OR things that your mind can't get off of, and things you do to comfort yourself.
This song is very abstract, much like a lot of their other songs. There are lots of ways you could take it.
My overall thought on this song: Internal struggle to deal with things in the world.

this is an amazing song... but which cloud cult song isnt?
For me, it seems to be the feelings toward someone who has taken their own life. "That man jumped out the window. Come back in the window."
It talks about other things relating to the death. The thoughts and habits formed. The sense of falsehood surrounding everything. The things they think they see and how they think they are dreaming.
I really do like how they leave it open for interpretation. (sp?)
i think the song is about a man who feels he's going insane and he keeps picking apart everything he does to see what's wrong with him. he's trying to justify everything that happens in the world, like suicide, and he explains it to himself to the fine line between falling and flying. "It's the feeling that you're falling But there's a fine line between falling and flying It's the feeling that you've lost it"
I have to say I think Lainason's interpretation is going in the right direction. I really like this song.
I think this is another song about Craig Minowa's son. right before Happy hippo was made, his son died of I think Sudden Infant Death syndrome, and this could be him coming to terms.
It's the things that you don't think that you're seeing The things we're to scared to talk about
Could be him talking to his wife, he is afraid to talk about the death of his son.
He is contemplating suicide, but he decides to "come back in the window" realizing that suicide won't help anything. And he feels like he's falling, everything is crashing down, but out of this experience, out of this tragedy, something good could arise, he could become closer to his wife than ever for instance, He's flying.
That's my interpretation of the song. There is a fine line between falling and flying
While that may be true, Kaidin died 3 years before this cd came out, so there were a few albums in between. and even though he is in almost every CC song I'm not convinced he is talking about himself in this one but you do make some good points!
