This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I couldn't do it
So I asked for a helping hand
To get me through it
But I guess it wasn't in your plan
Or maybe you were
Just too busy to make time for me
I always put you first
Expected me to figure out things
But they all kept getting worse
When I think about the way you let me down
I wonder if I'm supposed to count on you
How could you ignore me?
My imaginary friend didn't come through in the end
So now I have to find a real one
Didn't answer when I called
Well I guess it's just because
He was never there at all
I can't believe it
Now that I'm looking back
Why didn't I see it
Well I guess I didn't even ask
While you were never
Ever in the places I would go
You never showed yourself
All those heart-felt conversations
Were with me and no one else
When I called your name
You never answered am I insane?
If you saw my suffering
How could you ignore me?
My imaginary friend didn't come through in the end
So now I have to find a real one
Didn't answer when I called
Well I guess it's just because
He was never there at all
It's not hard to let him go
I don't know know why I ever loved him so
Maybe there is something wrong with me
I don't see what they see
Used to fold my hands and close my eyes
And think that you were with me
Now there's something wrong
It doesn't seem to make much sense
I just feel so stupid now
How could I believe it?
My imaginary friend didn't come through in the end

Didn't come through in the end wooh-no (Cause' he was never there at all)

@[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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Do you guys think this is about a friend that is real, but wasn't there when needed, or an actual, invisible, edge of insanity, imaginary friend?
The song's about losing faith in God.
Yeah I agree it's about Jeaus being your imaginary friend.
"Maybe there is something wrong with me I don't see what they see Used to fold my hands and close my eyes And think that you were with me Now there's something wrong It doesn't seem to make much sense I just feel so stupid now"
Definitely about god. It's about waking up and realizing it's better to put your faith in real people than an imaginary being.
ya. i started listening to this song and i thought it was about a real person then i heard fold m y hands and i thought praying...definitely god.
please explain to me how this song is about God or Jesus, since RBF does not have a single other song that is even close to being religious. this song, like many other RBF songs, is meant to be humorous and should NOT be taken seriously by anyone.
They didn't have any songs about lesbians before they wrote She Has a Girlfriend Now. They can write about different things. Also, they have a lot of serious lyrics, they are just sung to upbeat music.
I agree, this song must be about losing faith. The line that I can't make sense of though is:
All those heart-felt conversations Were with me and no one else
So...what's going on there? But yeah, it makes me pretty sad that Aaron (I assume) couldn't find faith.
"please explain to me how this song is about God or Jesus, since RBF does not have a single other song that is even close to being religious"
As for you, why would they make more than one song about something they don't believe in? If you had actually read the lyrics, you probably would have realised that this song is about LOOSING faith. Not having it.
Oh heh, mispelled losing down there. Whoops.
"All those heart-felt conversations Were with me and no one else"
I am not Christian, but I'm pretty sure this line is about prayer. It's common for people to say what they are praying out loud. "Having a conversation with God".
