This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
It's crazy
But often clear
Often clear
We shimmer and disappear
In color, in black and white
Black and white
We slowly fade out of sight
But these days
Willed by lightning
Thin lines of light
It's crazy
But somehow clear
Somehow clear
That we ride in silence out of fear
We've spoken
Soon come alive
Come on alive
We prefer the silence of the blind
But these days
Willed by lightning
Thin lines of light
These days
Willed by lines
Of shock, white
Shock, white
Ice, hard
Cold, white
Light
We're crazy
But often kind
often kind
The rage and violence blind
To be together
And then alone
Then all alone
We race in small circles home
But these days
Willed by lightning
Thin lines of light
These days
Willed by lines
Of shock, white light
These days
Willed by lightning
In lines of white
These days
Willed by lines
But often clear
Often clear
We shimmer and disappear
In color, in black and white
Black and white
We slowly fade out of sight
But these days
Willed by lightning
Thin lines of light
It's crazy
But somehow clear
Somehow clear
That we ride in silence out of fear
We've spoken
Soon come alive
Come on alive
We prefer the silence of the blind
But these days
Willed by lightning
Thin lines of light
These days
Willed by lines
Of shock, white
Shock, white
Ice, hard
Cold, white
Light
We're crazy
But often kind
often kind
The rage and violence blind
To be together
And then alone
Then all alone
We race in small circles home
But these days
Willed by lightning
Thin lines of light
These days
Willed by lines
Of shock, white light
These days
Willed by lightning
In lines of white
These days
Willed by lines

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
the instrumental part of this soung is so haunting. very very spooky
It's actually "we're lit by lightning" not "willed by lightning".
I love this song. Amazing. Haunting. Just ... wow.
hmm does anyone know where i can get a proper version of this? the one i have is at a very low volume and is crappy quality. but still mesmerizing.
