This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Is it war if you fight it?
Is it love when you don't?
There is more when you let go
Of the fear that you can't
As we burn in the fire
Slowly learning to breathe
Just keep calm in the falling
Always looking for an underneath
Imagine it's a warning sign
I don't wanna lose more time
Darling, don't you close your eyes
Keep listening - are you listening?
I'm sorry we don't have forever
Ooh ooh ooh ooh but come die with me
There's a knock in the silence
I see death at the door
But I know we'll be alright
'Cause your hands are still warm
The day the smoke starts rising
And all the bombs fall down
Don't wanna be the ones caught hiding
Wanna see the sky when it hits the ground
Imagine it's a warning sign
I don't wanna lose more time
Darling, don't you close your eyes
Keep listening - are you listening?
I'm sorry we don't have forever
Ooh ooh ooh ooh but come die with me
Is it love when you don't?
There is more when you let go
Of the fear that you can't
As we burn in the fire
Slowly learning to breathe
Just keep calm in the falling
Always looking for an underneath
Imagine it's a warning sign
I don't wanna lose more time
Darling, don't you close your eyes
Keep listening - are you listening?
I'm sorry we don't have forever
Ooh ooh ooh ooh but come die with me
There's a knock in the silence
I see death at the door
But I know we'll be alright
'Cause your hands are still warm
The day the smoke starts rising
And all the bombs fall down
Don't wanna be the ones caught hiding
Wanna see the sky when it hits the ground
Imagine it's a warning sign
I don't wanna lose more time
Darling, don't you close your eyes
Keep listening - are you listening?
I'm sorry we don't have forever
Ooh ooh ooh ooh but come die with me

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.
