This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Wish I was ocean size
They cannot move you
No one tries
No one pulls you
Out from your hole
Like a tooth aching a jawbone...
I was made with a heart of stone
To be broken
With one hard blow
I've seen the ocean
Break on the shore
Come together with no harm done...
It ain't easy living...
I want to be
As deep
As the ocean
Mother ocean
Some people tell me
Home is in the sky
In the sky lives a spy
I want to be more like the ocean
No talking
All action...
No talking
All action...
They cannot move you
No one tries
No one pulls you
Out from your hole
Like a tooth aching a jawbone...
I was made with a heart of stone
To be broken
With one hard blow
I've seen the ocean
Break on the shore
Come together with no harm done...
It ain't easy living...
I want to be
As deep
As the ocean
Mother ocean
Some people tell me
Home is in the sky
In the sky lives a spy
I want to be more like the ocean
No talking
All action...
No talking
All action...

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”

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.
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.
I think it's about wishing you were a stronger person. And dealing with being human and having a heart and having it broken. It's also about wishing you couldn't be broken, wishing you were stong enough to stand your ground. But also not hurting anyone like the ocean doesn't hurt the beach. idk. that's just what I gather.
This song is about when Perry got kicked out of his apartment. He was really down because he hated looking for new places just because he was a crazy looking guy, and people never believed him when he said he wouldn't be partying or drinking. "Wish I was ocean size They cannot move you man No one tries No one pulls you Out from your hole LIke a tooth aching a jawbone."
I can't believe it took someone 3 years to post on this song...what an overlooked band...
i've always thought this was literally wanting to be as strong as the ocean. perry was from california and he would have seen some incredible swells there - tides rolling in and out which, even though we can build the odd harbour, we can't begin to try and stop/move. a large ocean swell is a massive 'thing' that doesn't answer or explain itself to anyone. the ocean is all action - it's the mightiest thing on our planet - what else does it need to say?
"Wish I was ocean size, they cannot move you, man, no one tries" - So very very cool...
I'm old enough to remember this song when it was first released. I loved these guys in the late 80's. This is the best track on the album. The song is about being kicked around and forced to keep moving in this autocratic economy that is designed to keep us sleeping at night and rising early and getting up out of our beds to go out and conduct meaningless business by performing meaningless work. Being 'Ocean Size' means being immovable and allowed to laze in the sun like the surf bums Perry hung with back then.
what a song this song is so true about the ocean no talking all action
amazing!!
Perry loves to surf! he loves the ocean! Ever see that video footage of him getting barrelled at Zuma beach? I forget what video it's on but it's a nice wave and he's got some good speed on it.
It's "break" on the shore. What dumbass posted this?
