This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
All that I wanted inside was to make songs and sing them with all of my friends.
The real world crashed down like a vengeful bulldozer and put my grand plans to an end.
Now my heart is an overpass, concrete and iron,
the makeup of my soul, well that's rocket science.
And I've got three jobs and the people all say, "I am not in the business of holding kids' hands."
But I am, no that is my whole corporation,
why oh why can't you see?
That that and four chords is the reason I'm breathing,
and all that there is to the truth deep in me.
But now I feel faint, I can see the light dimming,
the dawning of being grown up is beginning,
and 21 years is a pretty good run, so let go, because this is the way things must be.
But I can't conceive of the world in that way,
how oh how can it be?
That the very process of building a life counteracts with the things that are dearest to me.
And I know such is life, yeah I've heard it before,
and I know there are people who suffer far more,
but if this is the way then I don't want to live.
Hold my hand, say goodbye, there's nothing here for me.
But I can't conceive of the world in that way,
what oh what would I do?
To love something dearly and throw it away makes no sense,
and I can't fight this war without you.
So if you'll be my partner in doing these deeds,
then I will be the armor that your spirit need.
So come sit next to me, come on lean in all close,
and I'll tell you exactly what we're going to do.
We'll pretend we've succumbed to being grown up,
and we'll make them believe it for just a few months,
and on nights that our morale feels low we'll just dream
of the things we will do once the money's saved up.
Then we'll throw off these shackles, scream "now is your chance",
it'll shine, oh believe me kid, traffic will dance.
And the lights that have been off so long will come on,
in the hearts of our friends,
it'll be about love.
And we'll thank the workers for building the buildings,
and we'll thank the poets for being our heroes,
and our kids will thank you because you were you,
oh and their kids will thank you because you were you.
And it's not we're not scared,
and it's not we're not sad,
but we'll sing and we'll fight and we'll clean up this land,
oh and you could come too if you'd just take my hand.
Just call me kid revolutionary,
I'll call you kid revolutionary,
just call us kid revolutionary,
just call us kid revolutionary,
just call us kid revolutionary.

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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”
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Traffic will dance and the traffic lights will, too: red will become lavender and yellow will be gold and green will be all the treeleaf greens there are.
People who are not in the business of holding kids' hands need to get it together in the forest. And everybody, no matter what human age, is young enough to be a revolutionary and a partner and reach out to be held. Like the willows can always be holding you, if you look., and you let them, and you give back...
