This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I think it's fair to say that I chose hopelessness...
and inflicted it on the rest of us,
but at least I've come to terms with my own mortality.
We search for different ways to make it through the wall,
resign our parents' interests will one day be our own.
We wait at ease,
We wait to see,
We are waiting here for catastrophe.
We wait at ease,
We wait to see,
We are waiting here for catastrophe.
The guy singing all the sad songs died,
Oh well I guess he was right, oh I guess he was right.
We learn together over time that tolerance is more appealing
In theory than in practice.
I identify my starsign by asking which is least compatible with yours.
We wait at ease,
We wait to see,
We are waiting here for catastrophe.
We wait at ease,
We wait to see,
We are waiting here for catastrophe.
A room full of vacuum and a room full of air look the same.
You have not been reborn they've just painted your face,
painted the walls.
Message sent to so far unreached peoples:
I think they've got it in for us,
I think they've got it in for us.
How you break the rules that you yourself imposed:
I think you've got it in for us,
I think you've got it in for yourselves.

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 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.

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.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
This song is about the trojan war(and ofc our petty tragic emotional lives)
The wall is the wall of Troy.
"I think it's fair to say that I chose hopelessness... and inflicted it on the rest of us, but at least I've come to terms with my own mortality." Here Garrett is assuming the role of Achilles.
"The guy singing all the sad songs died," - This is Homer
honestly i just assume the whole album is an illad concept piece.
@insufferabilia Nice view, that's interesting!
