This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
When I was a kid
I filled bottles with messages of hope
Now we kept clutching broken glass
Cause all my questions have been answered by a flood
Even those I never asked
All the storms that I've seen
Are countless reasons not to believe
But I know, that as long as there will be rain
There will be clear skies after
Every dance in the sky
I stood arms raised in imitation
Watch you dance and fly
And now I'm open to you
Just pass me by
But I keep reaching till I get whats mine
All the storms, that I've seen
Are countless reasons not to believe
But I know, that as long as there will be rain
There will be clear skies after
No matter how far I go
Far I go
I want you by my side
Together we'll see this through
There's silence in our lives
All the storms, that I've seen
Are countless reasons not to believe
But I know, that as long as there will be rain
There will be clear skies after
There will be rain
And there will be clear skies after
There will be rain
And there will be clear skies after
I filled bottles with messages of hope
Now we kept clutching broken glass
Cause all my questions have been answered by a flood
Even those I never asked
All the storms that I've seen
Are countless reasons not to believe
But I know, that as long as there will be rain
There will be clear skies after
Every dance in the sky
I stood arms raised in imitation
Watch you dance and fly
And now I'm open to you
Just pass me by
But I keep reaching till I get whats mine
All the storms, that I've seen
Are countless reasons not to believe
But I know, that as long as there will be rain
There will be clear skies after
No matter how far I go
Far I go
I want you by my side
Together we'll see this through
There's silence in our lives
All the storms, that I've seen
Are countless reasons not to believe
But I know, that as long as there will be rain
There will be clear skies after
There will be rain
And there will be clear skies after
There will be rain
And there will be clear skies after

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 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,

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
When I was a kid I filled bottles with messages of hope Now weak I'm clutching broken glass Cause all my questions have been answered by the floods Even those I never asked
All the storms that I've seen Are countless reasons not to believe But I know, that as long as there will be rain There will be clear skies after
Every day up to the sky I stood arms raised in imitation Watchin' birds in flight And now I'm older youth has passed me by But I'll keep reaching 'til I get what's mine
All the storms, that I've seen Are countless reasons not to believe But I know, that as long as there will be rain There will be clear skies after
No matter how far I go (Far I go) I know that you are by my side (By my side) Together we'll see this through (See this through) As long as I am still alive
All the storms, that I've seen Are countless reasons not to believe But I know, that as long as there will be rain There will be clear skies after
There will be rain There will be clear skies after There will be rain There will be clear skies after
Best song ever :)
