This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Every time we kiss
Something tells me this isn't what it could be
Every time we touch
You only give so much and it's getting to me
No, I can't take this anymore
No, I can't take this anymore
Love has always let
My heart before my head I keep losing my way
I've known you much too long
For you to lead me on, should I go or stay?
No, I can't take this anymore
No, I can't take this anymore
How many times can I say
How can you treat me this way?
How any heart aches today to ignore?
How many times can I try?
How many tears must I cry?
Watchin' life slippin' by, what for?
No, I can't take this
I need you to be near
Even when you're here you're never honest with me
I've waited much too long
A woman's just as strong as a man can be
No, I can't take this anymore
No, I can't take it anymore
How many times can I say
How can you treat me this way?
How any heart aches today to ignore?
How many times can I try?
How many tears must I cry?
Watchin' my life slippin' by and what for?
No, I can't take it anymore
I can't take it, can't take it anymore
I can't take it anymore
I can't take it anymore
How many dreams will it take
Till I feel my heart break?
Is this just a mistake?
I'm not sure
How many times can I try?
How many tears must I cry?
As life slips on by, what for?
No, I can't take this, no, anymore, anymore
No I, I can't take it anymore, anymore
No, I can't take it anymore
How many times can I say
How can you treat me this way?
How any heart aches today to ignore?
No, I can't take it any more
How many dreams will I dream
Until I feel my heart break?
Was this all a mistake? I'm not sure
No, I can't take it any more
Something tells me this isn't what it could be
Every time we touch
You only give so much and it's getting to me
No, I can't take this anymore
No, I can't take this anymore
Love has always let
My heart before my head I keep losing my way
I've known you much too long
For you to lead me on, should I go or stay?
No, I can't take this anymore
No, I can't take this anymore
How many times can I say
How can you treat me this way?
How any heart aches today to ignore?
How many times can I try?
How many tears must I cry?
Watchin' life slippin' by, what for?
No, I can't take this
I need you to be near
Even when you're here you're never honest with me
I've waited much too long
A woman's just as strong as a man can be
No, I can't take this anymore
No, I can't take it anymore
How many times can I say
How can you treat me this way?
How any heart aches today to ignore?
How many times can I try?
How many tears must I cry?
Watchin' my life slippin' by and what for?
No, I can't take it anymore
I can't take it, can't take it anymore
I can't take it anymore
I can't take it anymore
How many dreams will it take
Till I feel my heart break?
Is this just a mistake?
I'm not sure
How many times can I try?
How many tears must I cry?
As life slips on by, what for?
No, I can't take this, no, anymore, anymore
No I, I can't take it anymore, anymore
No, I can't take it anymore
How many times can I say
How can you treat me this way?
How any heart aches today to ignore?
No, I can't take it any more
How many dreams will I dream
Until I feel my heart break?
Was this all a mistake? I'm not sure
No, I can't take it any more

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
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 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.
