This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I am John and I was born in London
I am no vulture, this is my culture
The laws of nature, they're lawless and free
We come from chaos, you cannot change us
Cannot explain us and that's what makes us
We are the ageless, we are teenagers
We are the focused out of the hopeless
We are the last chance, we are the last dance
One drop in all of this ocean
Not gotta be causing commotion
One drop not follow the motion
Not gut no proper emotion
One drop in all of this ocean
Get proper, follow the motion
Get proper, proper emotion
Not gotta be causing commotion
One drop.
We all go down,
The laws of nature, they're lawless and free
We come from chaos, you cannot change us
Cannot explain us and that's what makes us
We are the ageless, we are teenagers
We are the focused out of the hopeless
We are the last chance, we are the last dance.
One drop in all of this ocean
Not gotta be causing commotion
One drop not follow the motion
Not gut no proper emotion
One drop in all of this ocean
Get proper, follow the motion
Get proper, proper emotion
Not gotta be causing commotion
We come from chaos, you cannot change us
Cannot explain us and that's what makes us
We are the ageless, we are teenagers
We are the focused out of the hopeless
Born in London, out of London, born in London
But really we are born everywhere
One drop in all of this ocean
Not gotta be causing commotion
One drop not follow the motion
Not gut no proper emotion
One drop in all of this ocean
Get proper, follow the motion
Get proper, proper emotion
Not gotta be causing commotion
Now follow the motion
Get proper
Got proper, proper emotion
Not gotta be causing commotion
One drop in all of this ocean
Get proper, now follow the motion
Got proper, proper emotion
Not gotta be causing commotion
One drop in all of this ocean
Get proper, now follow the motion
Got proper, proper emotion
I am no vulture, this is my culture
The laws of nature, they're lawless and free
We come from chaos, you cannot change us
Cannot explain us and that's what makes us
We are the ageless, we are teenagers
We are the focused out of the hopeless
We are the last chance, we are the last dance
One drop in all of this ocean
Not gotta be causing commotion
One drop not follow the motion
Not gut no proper emotion
One drop in all of this ocean
Get proper, follow the motion
Get proper, proper emotion
Not gotta be causing commotion
One drop.
We all go down,
The laws of nature, they're lawless and free
We come from chaos, you cannot change us
Cannot explain us and that's what makes us
We are the ageless, we are teenagers
We are the focused out of the hopeless
We are the last chance, we are the last dance.
One drop in all of this ocean
Not gotta be causing commotion
One drop not follow the motion
Not gut no proper emotion
One drop in all of this ocean
Get proper, follow the motion
Get proper, proper emotion
Not gotta be causing commotion
We come from chaos, you cannot change us
Cannot explain us and that's what makes us
We are the ageless, we are teenagers
We are the focused out of the hopeless
Born in London, out of London, born in London
But really we are born everywhere
One drop in all of this ocean
Not gotta be causing commotion
One drop not follow the motion
Not gut no proper emotion
One drop in all of this ocean
Get proper, follow the motion
Get proper, proper emotion
Not gotta be causing commotion
Now follow the motion
Get proper
Got proper, proper emotion
Not gotta be causing commotion
One drop in all of this ocean
Get proper, now follow the motion
Got proper, proper emotion
Not gotta be causing commotion
One drop in all of this ocean
Get proper, now follow the motion
Got proper, proper emotion

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

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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
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.
Lately I’ve been thinking that this song relates to immigration. The song starts with a person introducing himself and remarking that he too is a human but his culture may seem savage/strange to others (thus reference to “vulture”). He tells the story that he comes from a war zone, “from chaos”, and that the society cannot fully grasp his situation “cannot explain us”. He then goes on saying that only the most “focused of the hopeless” get this chance to emigrate.
The chorus is about the difference in population sizes and the way that people want immigrants to act. A handful of immigrants is only a “drop in the ocean” (in the population). And they are supposed to be quiet and respectful, “causing no commotion”, they are not supposed to express their needs or grievances “no emotion” and should fully integrate “follow the motion”.
Towards the end, the narrator remarks that “but really we are born everywhere”, alluding to the fact that any of us could become an immigrant. And it seems that the narrator does accept the idea of integration into society as he goes on to say to others “now follow the motion”, diving deeper into the ocean.
