This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
Maybe someday you'll have woke up,
And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one:
"Isn't something missing?"
You won't cry for my absence, I know
You forgot me long ago.
Am I that unimportant?
Am I so insignificant?
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
Even though I'm the sacrifice,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?
Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
I know what you do to yourself,
I breathe deep and cry out:
"Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?"
Even though I'm the sacrifice,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?
And if I bleed, I'll bleed,
Knowing you don't care.
And if I sleep just to dream of you
And wake without you there,
Isn't something missing?
Isn't something
Even though I'm the sacrifice,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?
But I won't be home again.
Maybe someday you'll have woke up,
And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one:
"Isn't something missing?"
You won't cry for my absence, I know
You forgot me long ago.
Am I that unimportant?
Am I so insignificant?
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
Even though I'm the sacrifice,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?
Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.

I breathe deep and cry out:

Isn't someone missing me?"
Even though I'm the sacrifice,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?
And if I bleed, I'll bleed,
Knowing you don't care.
And if I sleep just to dream of you
And wake without you there,
Isn't something missing?
Isn't something
Even though I'm the sacrifice,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?

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
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.
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.
Hey everyone ;) For some reason...this song reminds me of ME ...and the way i see it is, i think of it as a girl who is feeling unwanted at home, her parents and/or parent doesn't give her any recognition, for example "But I won't be home again." "Thought i'd die to know you love me, i'm all alone" these words to me describe a lost little girl who feels unloved, knowing that her parents or noone there cares about her. (it sounds strange to you probably) i know, but this is just the meaning and the energy that the song gives off to me...but you all have interesting opinions aswell.
thats the same way i see it. I see it more as someone being lost in their home but them also because of that pushing away everyone else until they're all alone and just craving the love of one certain person that doesnt care in the least. I really love this song because the reality it shows is so commen but nobody ever really notices it. No one looks deep enough to see the lies hidden inside the person in the song to realise they need truth.
Alcoholic parent. That's my opinion. "barely concious", "I know what you do to yourself". Lines like that make me think it's about a parent with a drug/alcohol problem.
@xXBrokenXx I feel like that even if sometime my dad acts nice sometimes I feel spoiled but at times my dad is very mean and some times I feel he has forgoten me for my 'perfect' brother who bullies me even when my parents are in the house and they do nothing! and under the covers at night I cry it sounds so loud to me but they 'never' hear me. And now I am diving a plan to run away at the age of 16-17.

And now I am diving a plan to run away at the age of 16-17. And the song missing feels like that to me as well when I do my home work crying (and my paerents never try to help) the sing releses my sadness but I still cry. And once when my dad made me cry because me made me stop listening to music (which is like part of my life the other parts is reading and french, and my friends) my mom came home from work and tryed to confoent me like i am grateful for that but the propblem is she acts like she knows all of my personal and life problems. And then my dad scouled me again after that. And my paerents keep the computer away from me before night time reading fanfic on it is the only way that I don't fall asleep crying
