This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Went to the fish shop
Went to the chip shop
Went to the burger shop
Didn't have a long stop
Went to these places
Didn't like their faces
No Television
No Competition
I Want A Chinese Takeaway
Now I'm in the right shop
To stop my hunger
Can't make my mind up
I'll just pick a number
Went to the chip shop
Went to the burger shop
Didn't have a long stop
Went to these places
Didn't like their faces
No Television
No Competition
I Want A Chinese Takeaway
Now I'm in the right shop
To stop my hunger
Can't make my mind up
I'll just pick a number

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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.
This song is about a struggle to find a place to eat but then finds the chinese place
This song is very complex metaphore about dreams
Fisrtly you need to find out what you really want from life. Fish, Chips, Burgers or Chinese? What's going to make you happy?
Then when you realise what you're after you need to go out and get it.
But is that what you really wanted?
@Gråvejr profound.
Gravejr - so true >_
Gravejr, Amazing. Would've NEVER thought about it that way.
fuckin A Gråvejr
brilliant.
This is another great Adicts song... Just like all of them. But this one is the best. Gravejr pretty much explained it the right way so Im not gonna add on to it
i absolutely love this metaphor!! the chinese takeaway represents something lacking of grandeur and all the hype blah blah: there's "No television, no competition" for chinese unlike of all the burger places. You tried out all these other choices that were the shit but then u realized that u needed something different, simple, lacking of glitz and glamor- a chinese takeaway! However, ur still unsure of ur choice but u still go ahead with the choice u made and "pick a number". Hopefully the chinese takewawy is the best you've ever tasted in your life, haha
i couldnt get this tune outta my head for a few days!
i would have never thought of it that way, gravejr. i always thought it was just a kind of silly song about chinese food. but i think you're absolutely right.
It is a decline of the "popular hyped up British delicacies/indulgences".
Decline- "Didn't have a long stop" "Didn't like their faces" British- Fish & Chips (sometimes burgers) Mainstream-"Television" & "Competition"
In contrast, the "Chinese take away" is portrayed with positive connotations.
I think it means that life is random. In the end, he rejects the mundane and obvious and just picks a meal number from the restaurant (without any forethought or planning) and hopes it works out.
I would also say that he's clear on what he doesn't want in life. What he actually wants is unclear.
