This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I look up, it's 10:15,
and what have I achieved?
A dog-end stubbed and an idea scrubbed,
and square one looming dangerously.
I've waited on your favour
for what seems a century,
I've hung round town,
kicked cans around,
This pauper's life is not for me but...
Highness how can you blame me?
When you play me off against your other lovers
Highness how can you blame me?
When you play me off against your other lovers
Life flits past my window
like the shadows 'cross my walls.
Patience stretched,
a hopeless wretch lies waiting on your regal call,
And ever since the day we first crossed paths
I must've crossed my heart
A thousand times along these lines,
yet still I worship from afar, but...
Highness how can you blame me?
When you play me off against your other lovers
Highness how can you blame me?
When you play me off against your other lovers
How can you say "I want you",
How can you say "I need you",
How can you say "I love you",
When Highness, you know it's not true?
How can you say "I want you",
How can you say "I need you",
How can you say "I love you",
When it's not true?
Highness how can you blame me?
When you play me off against your other lovers
Highness how can you blame me?
When you play me off against your other lovers
Highness how can you blame me?
When you play me off against your other lovers
Highness how can you blame me?
When you play me off against your other lovers
How can you say "I love you"
and what have I achieved?
A dog-end stubbed and an idea scrubbed,
and square one looming dangerously.
I've waited on your favour
for what seems a century,
I've hung round town,
kicked cans around,
This pauper's life is not for me but...
Highness how can you blame me?
When you play me off against your other lovers
Highness how can you blame me?
When you play me off against your other lovers
Life flits past my window
like the shadows 'cross my walls.
Patience stretched,
a hopeless wretch lies waiting on your regal call,
And ever since the day we first crossed paths
I must've crossed my heart
A thousand times along these lines,
yet still I worship from afar, but...
Highness how can you blame me?
When you play me off against your other lovers
Highness how can you blame me?
When you play me off against your other lovers
How can you say "I want you",
How can you say "I need you",
How can you say "I love you",
When Highness, you know it's not true?
How can you say "I want you",
How can you say "I need you",
How can you say "I love you",
When it's not true?
Highness how can you blame me?
When you play me off against your other lovers
Highness how can you blame me?
When you play me off against your other lovers
Highness how can you blame me?
When you play me off against your other lovers
Highness how can you blame me?
When you play me off against your other lovers
How can you say "I love you"

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 is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.

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.
This song is addicting. Bittersweet tale of being infatuated with a girl who doesn't feel the same way about him so, he denies his true feelings of needing, wanting and even loving her.
