This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I cast a line when I saw you were drowning
Still you turn your back on me
Pulled you from the fire when you were burning
Still you never could believe
So carry on if you must go your way
Go embrace my heart
Your free will still remains
I save you from your fall when you were slipping
Still you broke from me to run
So how can you justify the life you're living
You must carry on if you must go your way
Go embrace my heart
Your free will still remains
You'll deny
You'll deny me once again
But I've seen it all
I know you've come to crawl
Back to me before the end
Carry on if you must go your way
Go embrace my heart
Your free will still remains
So carry on if you must go your way
Go embrace my heart
Your free will still remains
Still remains
Still you turn your back on me
Pulled you from the fire when you were burning
Still you never could believe
So carry on if you must go your way
Go embrace my heart
Your free will still remains
I save you from your fall when you were slipping
Still you broke from me to run
So how can you justify the life you're living
You must carry on if you must go your way
Go embrace my heart
Your free will still remains
You'll deny
You'll deny me once again
But I've seen it all
I know you've come to crawl
Back to me before the end
Carry on if you must go your way
Go embrace my heart
Your free will still remains
So carry on if you must go your way
Go embrace my heart
Your free will still remains
Still remains

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.
This appears to depict an authority figure talking to a dependent. You might picture it as a deity talking to a rebellious follower or a parent talking to a rebellious child depending on your motivations, but it seems both interpretations are probably valid.
Gotta love how some songs are set up in a way to make the religious and non-religious views appear valid and let the masses argue amongst themselves, all the while raking in the combined profits. :)
