This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Before you hedge those bets you placed against me
Be reticent to fortunes they foretell
Your verbal defecation, I can't wash away despite myself
Your vanity, it seems, has served you well
You're so quick to choose the path walked by the righteous
So you can go and nest among the weak
The innocent observers will refuse to find the lie within
Renew the disappointment of the meek
You're no Jesus Christ
You're no Jesus Christ
Put the gun in my mouth and pull the trigger
I feel so alive here
Put the gun in my mouth, it tastes so bitter
I feel so alive here
You're no Jesus Christ
You're no Jesus Christ
You keep takin' over, I keep rollin' over
I can't take it anymore
You keep takin' over, I keep rollin' over
I can't take it anymore
Before you hedge those bets you placed against me
Be reticent to fortunes they foretell
Your verbal defecation, I can't wash away despite myself
Your vanity, it seems, has served you well
You keep takin' over, I keep rollin' over
I can't take it anymore
You keep takin' over, I keep rollin' over
I can't take it anymore
You keep takin' over, I keep rollin' over
I can't take it anymore
You keep takin' over, I keep rollin' over
I can't take it anymore
Be reticent to fortunes they foretell
Your verbal defecation, I can't wash away despite myself
Your vanity, it seems, has served you well
You're so quick to choose the path walked by the righteous
So you can go and nest among the weak
The innocent observers will refuse to find the lie within
Renew the disappointment of the meek
You're no Jesus Christ
You're no Jesus Christ
Put the gun in my mouth and pull the trigger
I feel so alive here
Put the gun in my mouth, it tastes so bitter
I feel so alive here
You're no Jesus Christ
You're no Jesus Christ
You keep takin' over, I keep rollin' over
I can't take it anymore
You keep takin' over, I keep rollin' over
I can't take it anymore
Before you hedge those bets you placed against me
Be reticent to fortunes they foretell
Your verbal defecation, I can't wash away despite myself
Your vanity, it seems, has served you well
You keep takin' over, I keep rollin' over

You keep takin' over, I keep rollin' over

I can't take it anymore
You keep takin' over, I keep rollin' over
I can't take it anymore

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
I think people are making too big of a deal about this song. I see it as him refering to an ex who is self centered beyond means, feeling she can tell people what to do and how to act. He is simply reminding her she is not Jesus, she is just a weak person with more to hide than anyone.
Yea its pretty much about amy lee I saw her at a korn concert and she acted like she was the headliner not korn while everry1 else was all supporting korn and stuff but yea this is one of my favorite songs
To me this song is about how condesending christians are to people who dont go to church and specifically follow the path that they are choosing them selves. such as when he says "Before you hedge those bets you placed against me" Such as when christians think someone is a lowlife because they look it - doesnt mean they are... Such as thinking someone is going to fail because they dont walk the path they do.
That leads me to "You're so quick to choose the path walked by the righteous So you can go and nest among the weak" To me this means that he thinks christians are so quick to pick up the bible and believe what they are told so they can be part of the crowd and not seem like they are doing something wrong.
As for the line "Your verbal defecation i can't wash away despite myself Your vanity, it seems, has served you well" Verbal defecation, again, putting someone down, which christians do quite often to non believers, and how they do it in vain to make them selves look like better people.
On a side note, i have nothing against christians. I do have a problem with christians that do the above things i just spoke of, this is just my interpretation, if i offended someone, so be it, but like i said, nothing against christians, just a certain type of them.
There is no heaven, there is no god, there is no Jesus Christ.

shut the hell up with your opinion.
I find it arrogant of you to come in here and shoot people's beliefs down. I wouldn't go to a bunch of Buddhists and say "there is no Buddha and they're all stupid." It's someone's religion.<br /> <br /> Douche.

But then again Profw aren't you and humphrey being just as arrogant by insulting his beliefs? <br /> <br /> It's called freedom of speech get over it. Just because someone doesn't believe in a god doesn't make him wrong.<br /> <br /> Better yet "pray" for his soul maybe that will make it better....
i've actually never thought about this being about amy lee, but it makes sense now that i think about it.
i always thought it maybe was about jesus himself. him saying "you're no jesus christ" because maybe jesus isn't as great as, you know, JESUS. not really the person, but the image people have of him. i probably sound dumb, and i'm probably wrong but it's just a thought.
I used to want to ask my ex "Does it ever hurt your neck to look down off your high horse?" Instead I can just send her this song. : )
lmao i have to say that is awesome
He's said it's not about Amy. The only song on the album about her was "Breakdown". Shaun said this was about another girl. But yeah, it's about the girl who thinks she's all that and has everyone wrapped around her finger.
this is a response to ''call me when your sober'' when i listened to that, knowing it was about him (no dissrespect to them musically) i thought she was bbeing a little self centered bich, and then i hear this. i'm not taking sides, but, all shaun was saying was ''every one has flaws, even you, shut the fck up'' alcoholism is a disease, at least he got help.
This song has nothing to do about Amy Lee
