This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Put it down touch it from the atmosphere
making all of my decisions based on fear
I never even cared about what I could be
declared on by the war on authority
I doubt you need cause I'm a bad seed
running on adrenaline and licking on greed
I'm tired of being I'm sick of my seeing
looking for the end or playing so that I can finally come clean
Cause I remember one time
something to live for, now so long ago
faces always are changing
lies in disguise for all the things we know
one time something to live for
somehow I've lost my way
those times have pissed away now
echo in my darkest days
Walking every day thinking that I know best
wearing my contempt like a bullet-proof vest
on my way gonna make it all mine
roll it in the gutter just to kill some time
but I was dead wrong and now it's all gone
I won't become the fool that I've abused for so long
the lines played out I've gotta get back
chase away the negative and throw away the useless track
Cause I remember one time
something to live for, now so long ago
faces always are changing
lies in disguise for all the things we know
one time something to live for
somehow I've lost my way
those times have pissed away now
echo in my darkest days
i've seen things I hope I never see again
(There's another place to fall)
I don't want to have to bury any more friends
(There's another friend to call)
Living on the edge of a sign of our times
(There's a world beyond yourself)
Dying in the wreckage we create with our crimes
(There are those who tried to help)
one time
something to live for, now so long ago
faces always are changing
lies in disguise for all the things we know
one time something to live for
somehow I've lost my way
those times have pissed away now
echo in my darkest days
making all of my decisions based on fear
I never even cared about what I could be
declared on by the war on authority
I doubt you need cause I'm a bad seed
running on adrenaline and licking on greed
I'm tired of being I'm sick of my seeing
looking for the end or playing so that I can finally come clean
Cause I remember one time
something to live for, now so long ago
faces always are changing
lies in disguise for all the things we know
one time something to live for
somehow I've lost my way
those times have pissed away now
echo in my darkest days
Walking every day thinking that I know best
wearing my contempt like a bullet-proof vest
on my way gonna make it all mine
roll it in the gutter just to kill some time
but I was dead wrong and now it's all gone
I won't become the fool that I've abused for so long
the lines played out I've gotta get back
chase away the negative and throw away the useless track
Cause I remember one time
something to live for, now so long ago
faces always are changing
lies in disguise for all the things we know
one time something to live for
somehow I've lost my way

faces always are changing
lies in disguise for all the things we know
one time something to live for
somehow I've lost my way
those times have pissed away now
echo in my darkest days

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 Can't Go To Sleep

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.
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.
Just A Little Lovin'

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
oh, haha... sorry!! didn't read the previous posts before commenting. I should always do that... I apologise my stupidity.
