This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Grass grows greener
On the other side
Corn grows sweeter
On the other side
And I watch, And I watch, And I watch
And I see too much
And I broke my face
And my head grows too much
God spits
On my soul
There's something dead inside my hole
In my hole
In my hole
In my hole
I step crueler
But less defined
Striped cats cooler
But so is mine
And I want to see
What I want to be
And I see me on a touching screen
And I'm dancing to a scream
God spits
On my soul
There's something dead inside my hole
In my hole
In my hole
In my hole
How can something crawl within
My rubber holy baked bean tin
It's god to me, it's god to me
It is heart and soul
Oh, heart and soul
On the other side
Corn grows sweeter
On the other side
And I watch, And I watch, And I watch
And I see too much
And I broke my face
And my head grows too much
God spits
On my soul
There's something dead inside my hole
In my hole
In my hole
In my hole
I step crueler
But less defined
Striped cats cooler
But so is mine
And I want to see
What I want to be
And I see me on a touching screen
And I'm dancing to a scream
God spits
On my soul
There's something dead inside my hole
In my hole
In my hole
In my hole
How can something crawl within
My rubber holy baked bean tin
It's god to me, it's god to me
It is heart and soul
Oh, heart and soul

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
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.
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
I think it's about a sort of depression where you want what you don't have or what you lost, perhaps he lost who he was or what he used to be and he is romanticizing that: Grass grows greener On the other side Corn grows sweeter On the other side
and whatever he has or is becoming isn't what he wants at all--it may even be the opposite. He feels sort of trapped by it, like it is perhaps even preventing him from getting what he wants and turning him into someone who could either never achieve it or get it back: And I watch, And I watch, And I watch And I see too much And I broke my face And my head grows too much
and not having the things he wants makes him feel empty inside and like God doesn't like him and hurts him on purpose: God spits On my soul There's something dead inside my hole In my hole In my hole In my hole
It feels like he is losing himself in this lack of definition perhaps caused by realizing he won't get what he wants in life and trying to come to terms with that and now trying to find a new goal and identity: I step crueler But less defined Striped cats cooler But so is mine And I want to see What I want to be
he seems himself on the tv pretending to be what he doesn't want to be and it's taking over how he behaves and acts, his identity and desires are being manipulated by his public image of himself and he's losing his previous self and what he had needed/wanted to feel fulfilled in the process and he is starting to find something in he is starting to enjoy, it's not much though as the next lines signify: And I see me on a touching screen And I'm dancing to a scream
What little he has gained to help fill that void and loss of identity-not matter how small or worthless it seems to others or him-is now cherished by him as the only thing that currently defines him or give him any since of purpose/identity; It's all he has: How can something crawl within My rubber holy baked bean tin It's god to me, it's god to me It is heart and soul
