This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I can't be mad
You didn't have to stay at all
But since you did it was a much harder fall
Please don't take it personal
This is a happy goodbye
I wish well and hope you know
I love you for the rest of my life
But this still a happy goodbye
I'm not wishing
Not waiting
Happier than ever to be alone
I'm not chasing
Not weighted
Only sad when the chocolates are gone
I'm moving on
La laa la laa la laa la laaa
You can't take back all of the things you dreamt allowed
You woken up but the fantasy is faded from your mind
You left without saying goodbye
But it's me that's left standing outside
Now that your head isn't stuck in the clouds
I hope you have a perfect life
Because perfect is how mine aligned
And this perfect goodbye
I'm not wishing
Not waiting
Happier than ever to be alone
I'm not chasing
Not weighted
Only sad when the chocolates are gone
I'm moving on
La laa la laa la laa la laaa
Oooooh
Hold on tight
Try again
The fair-weather friend
Disappearing at the sight of rain
Here I am (Who's in awe that I'm on my own)
It's where I've been (Doing it all, and all alone)
Where I've been (Who's in awe that I'm on my own)
No ones seen (Doing it all, and all alone)
Where I've been (Who's in awe that I'm on my own)
No ones seen (Doing it all, and all alone)
I'm not wishing
Not waiting
Happier than ever to be alone
I'm not chasing
Not weighted
Only sad when the chocolates are gone
I'm moving on
La laa la laa la laa la laaa
You didn't have to stay at all
But since you did it was a much harder fall
Please don't take it personal
This is a happy goodbye
I wish well and hope you know
I love you for the rest of my life
But this still a happy goodbye
I'm not wishing
Not waiting
Happier than ever to be alone
I'm not chasing
Not weighted
Only sad when the chocolates are gone
I'm moving on
La laa la laa la laa la laaa
You can't take back all of the things you dreamt allowed
You woken up but the fantasy is faded from your mind
You left without saying goodbye
But it's me that's left standing outside
Now that your head isn't stuck in the clouds
I hope you have a perfect life
Because perfect is how mine aligned
And this perfect goodbye
I'm not wishing
Not waiting
Happier than ever to be alone
I'm not chasing

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.
Gentle Hour

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.
