This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
There's a special kind of person
Sometimes she's not all she seems
You only see what she wants you to see
And before you really know it always seems to go
Back & forth, back & forth, back & forth, back & forth
Back & forth, back & forth, back & forth, back & forth
Our love goes
Take your chances if you will, those looks can kill
It'll make you go round and around, you got to know it by now
That the truth is you just can't win, loves funny like that
It'll make you blow your cap, sacrifice everything and money
Love has no guarantee's and always will it be
Back & forth, back & forth, back & forth, back & forth
Back & forth, back & forth, back & forth, back & forth
Back & forth, back & forth, back & forth, back & forth
Back & forth, back & forth, back & forth, back & forth
Take stabs dip and dab, forever tryin' to find your way
It's a sellers lament for all the love you spent
You must have thought it was a bottomless pit
You can't do it like that, love will show you where it's at
What you put up you'll surely get back
'Cause there's no other way, if you play you'll pay
Back & forth, back & forth, back & forth, back & forth
Back & forth, back & forth, back & forth, back & forth
Love has no guarantee's and always will it be
Back & forth, back & forth, back & forth, back & forth
Back & forth, back & forth, back & forth, back & forth
Back & forth, back & forth, back & forth, back & forth
Back & forth, back & forth, back & forth, back & forth
Sometimes she's not all she seems
You only see what she wants you to see
And before you really know it always seems to go
Back & forth, back & forth, back & forth, back & forth
Back & forth, back & forth, back & forth, back & forth
Our love goes
Take your chances if you will, those looks can kill
It'll make you go round and around, you got to know it by now
That the truth is you just can't win, loves funny like that
It'll make you blow your cap, sacrifice everything and money
Love has no guarantee's and always will it be
Back & forth, back & forth, back & forth, back & forth
Back & forth, back & forth, back & forth, back & forth
Back & forth, back & forth, back & forth, back & forth
Back & forth, back & forth, back & forth, back & forth
Take stabs dip and dab, forever tryin' to find your way
It's a sellers lament for all the love you spent
You must have thought it was a bottomless pit
You can't do it like that, love will show you where it's at
What you put up you'll surely get back
'Cause there's no other way, if you play you'll pay
Back & forth, back & forth, back & forth, back & forth
Back & forth, back & forth, back & forth, back & forth
Love has no guarantee's and always will it be
Back & forth, back & forth, back & forth, back & forth
Back & forth, back & forth, back & forth, back & forth
Back & forth, back & forth, back & forth, back & forth
Back & forth, back & forth, back & forth, back & forth

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.
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
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.
No Surprises

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.
