This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I speak outside what is recognized as the border between "reason" and "insanity". But I consider it a measure of my humanity to be written off by the living graves of a billion murdered lives. And I'm not ashamed of my recurring dreams about me and a gun and a different species (hint: starts with "h" and rhymes with "Neuman's") of carnage strewn about the stockyards, the factories and farms. Still I know as well as anyone that it does less good than harm to be this honest with a conscience eased by lies. But you cannot deny that meat is still murder. Dairy is still rape. And I'm still as stupid as anyone, but I know my mistakes. I have recognized one form of oppression, now I recognize the rest. And life's too short to make another's shorter-(animal liberation now!).

@[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.

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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Wow if you guy's became vegan because of a song you're easily influenced. You're no worse than the German people falling for Nazi propaganda
How can you compare showing compassion to animals and trying to stop the suffering of them to Germans who killed Jews? That is quite possibly the most ridiculous comment I have ever read! The reason why most people like the people above and me included have been so influenced by these songs are because we have been force fed lies from the generations before us that we need meat and diary in our diet to survive and be healthy. The fact we have had our eyes opened and been open minded to the possibility of a animal free diet shows that we are open minded....you on the other hand who believe that doing research and being open to other lifestyles (through influence of people we look up to) is a bad thing? I feel sorry for you....but more importantly I feel sorry for the animals that suffer due to your ignorance!
Logically speaking, Mother Teresa was also "no worse" than Germans falling for Nazism. What you likely mean to say is "no better than ...". Example: Your writing is "no worse" than the typical shit people post on the Internet, and your opinion is "no better". We care a lot!
Golly, you don't even know these people. You don't know how much thought they put into changing their lifestyle. This song could have just brought the issue to their attention, and they could have done a lot of thinking about it. You didn't even bother to ask them, either! <br /> AND you really think the Germans were just tricked into murdering millions of people? I'm sure a lot of those people didn't even know what was happening until it was too late. And once they did know and did have the balls to protest it, they were shipped off with the Jews and slaughtered as well. Do you know anything about German culture at all? "German" doesn't equal "Nazi". You're not even a troll. You're just ignorant, epicmikenomore.
This comment is about 2 1/2 years old, so "epic mike," I hope you're still not a colossal ignoramus. As someone else said, Propagandhi (among other bands/people) brought the issue to my attention. I became vegan because of the environmental destruction caused by factory farming, the torturous conditions the animals endure from birth to death, which is far worse than you can imagine, and the health benefits of a plant based diet (as well as avoiding the unhealthy, pathogen ridden meat/dairy products). And hey, if you knew anything about basic human anatomy/biology, you'd know that humans function optimally i.e. getting rid of waste, avoiding diseases as herbivores. Everything about us is a classic herbivore, from our jaw, to our intestines, to our weak HCl. This could all be summed up with, "hey mike patton fan, you're an ignorant tool."
