This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Acid tooth
It's got nothing to do with you
but if you wanna watch me chew
my teeth are cutting you out
Stomachache
Well it must be in your head
It must be something that I did
Food just doesn't seem to work out
Am I rotting out?
Daddy says I got my mama's mouth
I'm all about
a forked tongue and a dirty house
Mom has said
yes this happened to me long ago
And If U got the hurting oh
But no one would believe me when i said:
Close my mouth
Was I born to accommodate
I'm so good at playing dead
words just don't seem to come out
Should I eat something sweet instead
wash away all those things we said
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
how many doctors will it take
Oooh Oooh befoe i disintegrate
It's got nothing to do with you
but if you wanna watch me chew
my teeth are cutting you out
Stomachache
Well it must be in your head
It must be something that I did
Food just doesn't seem to work out
Am I rotting out?
Daddy says I got my mama's mouth
I'm all about
a forked tongue and a dirty house
Mom has said
yes this happened to me long ago
And If U got the hurting oh
But no one would believe me when i said:
Close my mouth
Was I born to accommodate
I'm so good at playing dead
words just don't seem to come out
Should I eat something sweet instead
wash away all those things we said
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
how many doctors will it take
Oooh Oooh befoe i disintegrate

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.
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.
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
great song. but i have no clue what it means.
It's about eating disorders I would think ... spokenx.
I think its about holding one's tongue. You want to, but in the end you end up speaking out until it becomes a problem. (Hence, eating sweet things to keep one's mouth occupied [closed], but it backfires with tooth decay, er, youth decay.)
It's about bulimia. "Acid tooth"; "Am I rotting out?" describe the effects of the disorder. No one except her mother sees this as a problem; they think that it is in her head. With every doctor she sees, she feels herself slip away. They chip away at her, leaving her as good as dead.
sure. heh. yeah. i like this song. very much.
iheartnitz, you're right on the most part, but the mom was a bulimic too because, "Daddy says I got my mama's mouth."
only chanbara's right...she held it all in until she just spit bile...she has mama's mouth because mama was repressed until she split and it's happening to her too
I think it has a little to do with both bulimia AND speaking her mind. A friend of mine who was a counselor for years told me that girls with eating disorders developed them as a way to feel in control of their lives.
"Close my mouth Was I born to accommodate I'm so good at playing dead Words just don't seem to come out" It seems like she is expected to behave and mind her tongue by her father, but she wants to speak her mind. Instead she eats sweet things and spits them back up ("stomachache... food just doesn't seem to work out") to deal with her problems.
I also think "how many doctors will it take before I disintegrate" is being critical of how the medical establishment treats cases of eating disorders instead of addressing the ways that societal expectations placed on girls (and boys) lead to the disorders in the first place.
Sleater-Kinney+ best friends+ beer on a night with the curtains shut, pretending it's hot and bright outside= what it's all about
I think there are refs to bulemia, but also sexual abuse. The "daddy says I got my mama's mouth" line always sounded creepy to me. And perhaps her mother was a victim as well?
Mom has said Yes this happened to me long ago But no one would believe me when O said Close my mouth
Her mother was abused by a family member, but nobody would believe her given it was a less elightened time.
Was I born to accommodate I'm so good at playing dead Words just don't seem to come out
She's gotten used to shutting up and trying to forget the abuse and pretend it isn't happening.
