This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
You think I give a shit, how I'm seen through your eyes,
I just can't fucking stand the way you always have to criticize
You find everything wrong in everything you see,
Seems like it's not that hard for you to find everything that's wrong with me
Open your eyes
And face the truth
Open your eyes
The real problem's you
Does it build your self esteem to list mistakes in everyone else
The only answer I can find is that you're just not happy with yourself
You put pride in yourself when you point out everyone else's mistakes
The problems you have are just a little much for you to take
Open your eyes
And face the truth
Open your eyes
The real problem's you
I just can't fucking stand the way you always have to criticize
You find everything wrong in everything you see,
Seems like it's not that hard for you to find everything that's wrong with me
Open your eyes
And face the truth
Open your eyes
The real problem's you
Does it build your self esteem to list mistakes in everyone else
The only answer I can find is that you're just not happy with yourself
You put pride in yourself when you point out everyone else's mistakes
The problems you have are just a little much for you to take
Open your eyes
And face the truth
Open your eyes
The real problem's you

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
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.
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.
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.
This song kicks fuckin ass!! I love it...it has that hardcore feel to it...
GREAT SONG
this song is awesome, the first four lines are great. i think you can figure out what it means.
Yeah, it definately has some hardcore in there, I think it is pretty much obvious it is about people who criticize people to make themselves feel better. The feeling of this song reminds me a lot of the Filth cover AFI did on SYMAOYE, Today's Lesson. They are both a little more hardcore than most of AFI's other stuff, and they have a similar theme. Anyway, that's all.
This song totally describes what I would like to tell the kids in school who slander me everyday.
reminds me of my mom...
anyone here have any songs by the circus tents? i've tried looking them up about a year ago and couldnt find anything. this song kicks ass, by the way.
Pretty self explanitory..great song, great album.
AHHH...THE OLD DAYS BEFORE THEY TURNED IN TO GAY FAGGOT EMOS...... THEY WILL BE MISSED...
