This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
(Dimly man I'm not calling you)
Another disappointed soul
Well I try
I try to keep it in control
Well I
I will end up on the dole
It's my life
And now fall into it I go
Well Blue, you've got me on the go
So don't worry
You'll never know
Your eyes
Are never cold
To me
Well at least that's what I was told
Girl
You made
My dreams come true
It's all a clue
It's all for you
Myself is still eighteen
In cue
And it's all
That I want to do
I know when I look into the sky
There is no meaning
And I'm the only one believing
That there's nothing to believe in
I'm dreaming
My aspirations got a ceiling
And now I'm constantly cleaning
The skies you're dealing
Well my guts are on the floor
For you to adore me
And all I can be
See
What I say
On the horizon
The skies are grey
The skies are grey
Has this hit
Aah has this hit
Well I'm tired every night
Some things never seem quite right
I'm never fully content
I wish it were and went
Well, for one
If you're kind
Then people are cunts
They pull stunts
To stunt your progress
I know it's slow to digest
The way you're inside stress
You're not blessed
You're definitely not blessed
I don't deserve history repeating itself
Always see myself getting picked up and left back on the shelf
Again and again
Again and again
You're not my pen
You're my paper
You're not my heart
You're its breaker
You're its breaker
You're its breaker
You're its breaker
You're its breaker

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.
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
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.
On his Zoo Kid bandcamp site, Archy says this about another song: "NOTE TO LISTENER: Perspectives change throughout." And I think that's true with a lot of his songs, including this one. A lot of times he seems to alternately address a girl who's usually called Blue or Baby Blue, or just Guuurl :) , and at other times he bitterly addresses some sort of controlling authority figure he seems to despise, like in the lines: "I don't deserve history repeating itself/ always see myself getting picked up and left back on the shelf" and "you're not my pen, you're my paper/ you're not my heart, you're its breaker." Anyway, this song overall just seems to express his feelings of futility about life and possibly also his hope that the girl can help lift him out of those negative feelings that are dogging him.
"Another disappointed soul Well I try I try to keep it in control Well I I will end up on the dole It's my life And now fall into it I go
Well Blue, you've got me on the go So don't worry You'll never know Your eyes Are never cold To me Well at least that's what I was told"
I feel like this is Archy's essential break up song. In the first two verses, he summarizes his relationship with this Blue girl, it's a constantly changing and hectic one, and Archy is finding himself disappointed as he realizes that it's spiraling into something out of his grasp. He's doing all he can to save this relationship and keep her with him, but even he's beginning to doubt if he loves her anymore -- "your eyes are never cold to me, at least that's what I'm told."
"Girl You made My dreams come true It's all a clue It's all for you
Myself is still eighteen In cue And it's all That I want to do"
I love the emotion in his voice in these verses, as well as the ones that follow them. He sounds so distressed and angry, bitterly singing about how Blue used to make his dreams come true. He's tried and tried to stay with her, but this is his final clue that maybe things are really done. Whether or not it's her fault or his, he doesn't say, but he brings up his youth as a sort of defense, trying to excuse his mistakes.
"I know when I look into the sky There is no meaning And I'm the only one believing That there's nothing to believe in
I'm dreaming My aspirations got a ceiling And now I'm constantly cleaning The skies you're dealing"
Definitely my favourite part of the song. Archy feels no emotion when he sees something beautiful, like the sky. He feels empty, almost nihilistic, claiming that there's nothing to believe in, and he feels alone in this philosophy, and even when thinking about his future and his dreams, he sets limits for himself, and refuses to allow his hopes to get too high. And Blue, this girl, is dealing skies, much like the sky that Archy finds no beauty in, as well as the one that relates to this saying: "the sky's the limit." At one point, Blue made him feel like anything was possible, like he could accomplish whatever he wanted, but now that they've been torn apart, Archy's cleaning out all those ideas of optimism that she left in his head.
"Well my guts are on the floor For you to adore me And all I can be"
This is a good summation of the last few very personal verses. Archy has finally admitted all of this, and perhaps, despite the bitterness and the doubt and the hate, he still craves the feelings Blue gave him, and hopes that somehow, she will hear him spilling his guts about her, and see he still has feelings about her, and just maybe, she might return them.
I'm pretty sure the last half changes perspective to a grander scale, but keeps within the theme of feelings of betrayal and loss and general dislike of everybody around him.
I don't think the lyrics actually have a linear progression like that. I think he starts by expressing disillusion with life in general, then goes on to address the girl who might just be a friend who was the girl of his dreams but he never actually had a relationship with (he's been told she never views him coldly). I think the middle part goes back to his general disillusion with life, and then the "guts on the floor" part is entreating the girl to help him out of the morass of his depression. And the last third goes back to his anger about life in general and the powers-that-be not dealing him a fair hand.
