This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
they're letting their eyes cross
cuz they don't know, they don't know what we know
that these lights are only here to lead us in the wrong direction
or to a false impression
impact is up to us
and it's all these days that kept us so far away
we can break out of this name
we could give ourselves meaning
we were never sorry for the choices that we made
not to sing in your name, but what is faith?
not in the mood to chase, not after these things will never change
a small claim to the stories we've told
who says we're wrong?
with waking arms we stood so strong
impact is inevitable, and it's up to us
i hope i'm not the only one with these words sitting on my tongue
(i'm not afraid to say this) only drowning men could see
and that's not enough for me
oh, what is faith?
cuz they don't know, they don't know what we know
that these lights are only here to lead us in the wrong direction
or to a false impression
impact is up to us
and it's all these days that kept us so far away
we can break out of this name
we could give ourselves meaning
we were never sorry for the choices that we made
not to sing in your name, but what is faith?
not in the mood to chase, not after these things will never change
a small claim to the stories we've told
who says we're wrong?
with waking arms we stood so strong
impact is inevitable, and it's up to us
i hope i'm not the only one with these words sitting on my tongue
(i'm not afraid to say this) only drowning men could see
and that's not enough for me
oh, what is faith?

No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
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
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
No comments??? really? this song is so beautiful n amazing
I agree with teck. This song is awesome. Even the acoustic version is great. Versaemerge is great.
my favorite song by versa
I think this song is really just about living life to the fullest. if you're going to do something, do it for yourself, and not for anyone else. don't regret anything you do. you control how things affect you, not the other way around.
Sierra wrote in a recent blog on their myspace that this song was inspired by her experience at this super hardcore catholic school. Hence the line 'not to sing in your name, but what is faith?'
Yeah, I always thought this song was about God. Its good though, I think she is being positive about God.
