This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
In the alley dogs are barking, chickens crowing down the lane
And I feel just like that rooster and his mournful old refrain
With sun down on my shoulders just a hangin' round the yard
I'll be leaving here tomorrow, gonna catch an empty car
There's a thousand constellations in that brilliant beaming sky
But the earth is just one station in that lonesome starry line
And there's a distant whistle blowing down a rusty stretch of track
And I'm just an empty coal car on that train not coming back
-Chorus-
But I hate to see that evening sun go down
When it's lonesome coming down on my trail
And I know this train will take me where I'm bound
But I hate to see that evening sun go down
The sidewalks have their streetlamps the city has her glow
The poor boy has the moonlight walking in his shadow
But the nighttime can't be trusted to return the morning sun
My eyes have not adjusted to this black face I got on
-Chorus-
Don't the nighttime make you lonesome for that early morning sun
For the light upon that engine reaching towards the dawn
You can spend your whole life racing down rusty railroad line
It's the setting sun you're chasing in that dark and rolling sky
-Chorus-
And I feel just like that rooster and his mournful old refrain
With sun down on my shoulders just a hangin' round the yard
I'll be leaving here tomorrow, gonna catch an empty car
There's a thousand constellations in that brilliant beaming sky
But the earth is just one station in that lonesome starry line
And there's a distant whistle blowing down a rusty stretch of track
And I'm just an empty coal car on that train not coming back
-Chorus-
But I hate to see that evening sun go down
When it's lonesome coming down on my trail
And I know this train will take me where I'm bound
But I hate to see that evening sun go down
The sidewalks have their streetlamps the city has her glow
The poor boy has the moonlight walking in his shadow
But the nighttime can't be trusted to return the morning sun
My eyes have not adjusted to this black face I got on
-Chorus-
Don't the nighttime make you lonesome for that early morning sun
For the light upon that engine reaching towards the dawn
You can spend your whole life racing down rusty railroad line
It's the setting sun you're chasing in that dark and rolling sky
-Chorus-

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.
