This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I wanted so bad to be your girl
I tried thinking about all the lonely nights I cried
I look back, what a waste of time
Should've realized I couldn't change your mind
Now I'm glad you've got a broken heart
'Cause I've been trying to fix mine from the start
Now I'm glad you've got a broken heart
'Cause I've been trying to fix mine from the start
Now that it's over you act so shocked
Guess you never listened all the times I talked
I gave you countless chances
You never seemed to care, treated me like trash
You thought I'd always be there
You're telling lies to anyone who will listen
You want so bad to be the victim
But what you've gotta see is our relationship
And break up is not a competition
Now I'm glad you've got a broken heart
'Cause I'm trying to fix mine from the start
Now you're acting like Mr. Perfect
To figure out what you did to deserve it
I was not the only one to do things wrong
You've been a dick to me all along
I know what I did was pretty rotten
Now it's like everything you did is forgotten
But go ahead and tell your sob story
All I have to say about it is blow me
Now I'm glad you've got a broken heart
'Cause I've been trying to fix mine from the start
Now I'm glad you've got a broken heart
'Cause I've been trying to fix mine from the start
I tried thinking about all the lonely nights I cried
I look back, what a waste of time
Should've realized I couldn't change your mind
Now I'm glad you've got a broken heart
'Cause I've been trying to fix mine from the start
Now I'm glad you've got a broken heart
'Cause I've been trying to fix mine from the start
Now that it's over you act so shocked
Guess you never listened all the times I talked
I gave you countless chances
You never seemed to care, treated me like trash
You thought I'd always be there
You're telling lies to anyone who will listen
You want so bad to be the victim
But what you've gotta see is our relationship
And break up is not a competition
Now I'm glad you've got a broken heart
'Cause I'm trying to fix mine from the start
Now you're acting like Mr. Perfect
To figure out what you did to deserve it
I was not the only one to do things wrong
You've been a dick to me all along
I know what I did was pretty rotten
Now it's like everything you did is forgotten
But go ahead and tell your sob story
All I have to say about it is blow me
Now I'm glad you've got a broken heart
'Cause I've been trying to fix mine from the start
Now I'm glad you've got a broken heart
'Cause I've been trying to fix mine from the start

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.
wow this actually seems like a serious song
bahahah i love this song so much. take that, bitch. you were a shitty boyfriend and deserve everything bad that comes to you. :)
Now that it's over you act so shocked Guess you never listened all the times I talked I gave you countless chances You never seemed to care; treated me like trash You thought I'd always be there You're telling lies to anyone who will listen You want so bad to be the victim
= guy was a shit boyfriend. it ends. he regrets being a douchebag. tells people he loves her and a bunch of crap. but she doesnt give a shit, and hopes his heart doesn't mend cause he treated her real badly. i fucking love this hahaha, i think it applies to basically every teen relationship... ever. :]
