This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Look at me,
Asleep on the floor,
And I think I'm dying
Look at me,
I'm battered and sore,
And I think I'm dying
Look at me,
Do you hear me God?
'Cuz I could use a hand
To get off the floor
I think I'm dying
Chorus:
There's a place that burns for somethin' else
I'll tear this house apart, it's not that hard,
I'll keep on lookin' here
Look at me,
A knock on the door,
I'll always come runnin'
Look at you,
You call this a home?
I'd rather be dyin'
Chorus:
There's a place that burns for somethin' else
I'll tear this house apart, it's not that hard,
I'll keep on lookin' here
There's a place that burns for somethin' else
There's a place that burns for somethin' else
I'll tear this house apart, it's not that hard,
I'll keep on lookin' here
Asleep on the floor,
And I think I'm dying
Look at me,
I'm battered and sore,
And I think I'm dying
Look at me,
Do you hear me God?
'Cuz I could use a hand
To get off the floor
I think I'm dying
Chorus:
There's a place that burns for somethin' else
I'll tear this house apart, it's not that hard,
I'll keep on lookin' here
Look at me,
A knock on the door,
I'll always come runnin'
Look at you,
You call this a home?
I'd rather be dyin'
Chorus:
There's a place that burns for somethin' else
I'll tear this house apart, it's not that hard,
I'll keep on lookin' here
There's a place that burns for somethin' else
There's a place that burns for somethin' else
I'll tear this house apart, it's not that hard,
I'll keep on lookin' here

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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 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.
I absolutely love this song, but I have no clue what it means! Are there any other Paper Route fans out there??? This band is incredible and should be on the top of the charts. So musical and catchy and unique.
This is the little bit I could come up with for a meaning: I think the writer is going through a really really rough time. Part of him just wants to give up, but part of him ("There's a place...") wants ("...that burns...", i.e. burns with desire) to push himself to find a better life ("...for something else"). He's gonna "keep on lookin' here" meaning continue to search inside himself to find a fix. And he's gonna tear this house (meaning his life) apart in order to find that. And since his life is falling apart already, "it's not that hard" to tear it apart the rest of the way.
Just my own interpretation, so feel free to comment :)
Because of the elements of Christianity in their songs, and because my own Christian belief, my immediate interpretation is a heavily spiritual one.<br /> <br /> It is obvious that the writer/singer is going through a difficult time, and I believe that this pain that makes him feel "like [he's] dying" is either his spiritual struggle to find his completion, or his reconciling of the sin of the world with the life of a follower of Christ. This idea is highlighted by the line "there's a place that burns for something else"-- it seems to me that he is aware of the fact that something is fighting against him. He continues to "keep on lookin' here", which includes looking at other people ("you call this a home? I'd rather be dyin'"), who seem to have the same lack of answers that he has. He is frantic at understanding this pain, and is eager for anyone's remedy ("look at me, a knock at the door, I'll always come runnin'").<br /> <br /> Although the conflict is never resolved in the song, optimism wins with his continued endeavor to seek out either the God he has called upon in the earlier verse or some other similarly divine answer.
