This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I'm stuck in this bed you made
Alone with a sinking feeling
I saw through the words you said
To the secrets you've been keeping
It's written upon your face
All the lies, how they cut so deeply
You can't get enough, you take
And take and take, you never say
No, you've gotta get it inside
You push it back down
You push it back down
No, you'll never get it inside
Push it back down, blackout, blood in your eye
You say that it's not your fault
And swear that I am mistaken
You said it's not what it seems
No remorse for the trust you're breaking
You run but then back, you fall
Suffocate in the mess you're making
You can't get enough, you take
And take and take and take and take
Fuck it, are you listening?
No, you've gotta get it inside
You push it back down
You push it back down
No, you'll never get it inside
Push it back down
You push it back down
No, you've gotta get it inside
You push it back down
You push it back down
No, you'll never get it inside
Push it back down, blackout, blood in your eye
Blackout, blood in your eye
You push it back down
Push it back down
You push it back down, blood in your eye
Blackout, blood in your eye
Blackout, blood in your eye
Blackout, blood in your eye
Blackout, blood in your eye
Floating down, as colors fill the light
You look up from the ground in fields of paper white
And floating up, you pass us in the night
A future gazing out, a past to overwrite
So come down, far below
We've been waiting to collect the things you know
Come down, far below
We've been waiting to collect what you've let go
Come down, oh
Come down, oh
Come down, oh
Come down, oh
Come down, oh
Alone with a sinking feeling
I saw through the words you said
To the secrets you've been keeping
It's written upon your face
All the lies, how they cut so deeply
You can't get enough, you take
And take and take, you never say
No, you've gotta get it inside
You push it back down
You push it back down
No, you'll never get it inside
Push it back down, blackout, blood in your eye
You say that it's not your fault
And swear that I am mistaken
You said it's not what it seems
No remorse for the trust you're breaking
You run but then back, you fall
Suffocate in the mess you're making
You can't get enough, you take
And take and take and take and take
Fuck it, are you listening?
No, you've gotta get it inside
You push it back down
You push it back down
No, you'll never get it inside
Push it back down
You push it back down
No, you've gotta get it inside
You push it back down
You push it back down
No, you'll never get it inside
Push it back down, blackout, blood in your eye
Blackout, blood in your eye
You push it back down
Push it back down
You push it back down, blood in your eye
Blackout, blood in your eye
Blackout, blood in your eye
Blackout, blood in your eye
Blackout, blood in your eye
Floating down, as colors fill the light
You look up from the ground in fields of paper white
And floating up, you pass us in the night
A future gazing out, a past to overwrite
So come down, far below
We've been waiting to collect the things you know
Come down, far below
We've been waiting to collect what you've let go
Come down, oh
Come down, oh
Come down, oh
Come down, oh
Come down, oh

Hayalperest
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.

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.
This is obviously about more than just a relationship. The whole album is about WWII, so I think it's about the detonation of the atomic bomb in Japan and the moments right after. The lyrics in "Burning In The Skies" and just the title of "Fallout" also seem to carry meaning about the nukes and Japan. But Shinoda's line "Floating out as colors fill the light, we look up from the ground in fields of paper white, floating up you pass us in the night, the future gazing out a past to overwrite." directly seems to be describing the bombers passing by, as a nuclear explosion lights up the "fields of paper white." The part "No you'll never get it inside, you push it back down, blackout, blood in your eye" is something I can't really relate to the rest of the song... it just seems like a sexual struggle ending with a black eye, but I thought "Blackout" itself had something more to do with the detonation of the atomic bombs. So I can't really make sense of this song by itself, but this is a concept album so it is meant to be critiqued and understood as an overall album, not song by song.
To add to that, I wanted to say the sexual struggle could be a metaphor for Japan's struggle with the U.S. during WWII. Or maybe it's just blatantly describing Japan's intentions to "get inside" the U.S., or U.S.'s intentions to invade Japan, either one, innuendos aside.

@germandeathkittiez oh sorry .. I'm just figuring this out now .. obviously I'm 5 years late . But here's a thought maybe I is talking to himself in between .. I relate to the song on a personal base which is very opposite to the other meanings . I live with my brother and he doesn't want to get a job so he is living of me . This makes me resentful as he just takes and takes and lies and lies. Anyway you push it back down. . He is talking to himself .. meaning get the anger back inside . He knows he'l never get it back in . Because once you've flipped over to that place there is no going back until you have let it out .. Black out and blood in your eye .. The pressure builds up in your head so much when your angry . I often blacknowledged out and can't remember what I've said to my brother whilst other times I expect to see blood in my eyes as in I got so angry I thought I surely popped a vein .
