This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Sorry, I'm only
Human, you know me
Grown up, oh no, guess again
My days always
Dry up and blow away
Sometimes I could do that too
Make no mistaking
When you need a friend
You could count on anyone
But you know I'll defend
The tragedy that we knew as
The end
Progress, changing
Growing then giving up
Somehow we're never quite prepared
But I understand it
When you need a friend
You could count on anyone
But you know I'll defend
The tragedy that we knew as
The end
So taking you with me would be like
Taking all your money to the grave
Well, it does no good to anyone especially
The one you're trying to save
But it's so hard not to say
And when you need a friend
Hey, you could count on anyone
But you know I'll defend
The tragedy that we knew as
The end
Human, you know me
Grown up, oh no, guess again
My days always
Dry up and blow away
Sometimes I could do that too
Make no mistaking
When you need a friend
You could count on anyone
But you know I'll defend
The tragedy that we knew as
The end
Progress, changing
Growing then giving up
Somehow we're never quite prepared
But I understand it
When you need a friend
You could count on anyone
But you know I'll defend
The tragedy that we knew as
The end
So taking you with me would be like
Taking all your money to the grave
Well, it does no good to anyone especially
The one you're trying to save
But it's so hard not to say
And when you need a friend
Hey, you could count on anyone
But you know I'll defend
The tragedy that we knew as
The end

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.
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 is easy to realte to.
You were friends.Then you were a couple.Then you were just friends again :'(
i think the song meaning is as follows; this person felt it was necessary to let someone go for their own good because this person wasn't good for them. "I'll defend the tragedy we knew as the end" so she doesnt regret the ending because she knows it was for the best no matter how much it hurts the person right now. She is telling them 'you can count on anyone, you have friends who are still there for you even if i cant be'. and she may also be saying that the friends might tell the person 'you guys will patch things back up' but she is saying this will not happen because 'i defend the tragedy that we knew as the end'. it was hard to let the person go but 'its harder not to save' someone you love.
I think she is trying to say, "kill yourself, kill yourself now, just end your sad miserable existence as soon as possible...don't think...just put the gun in your mouth and squeeze..cause life sucks and you are dying anyway."
Well, maybe she is just talking about the loss of a friend...and impossible situations to solve in relationships...but when I listen..I just think, if I ever try to kill myself...this shall be the song I'll play during the termination...or if maybe I'm contemplating it, and I just need one final push...I can look to this song..and know what to do.
I don't think she wants you to kill yourself,God knows if anybody actually wants their songs to come out as that. I feel like this song is about losing someone and knowing that something in your own life will never be the same. Possibly true tragedy such as an accident or something, or just a fallen apart relationship.
i can't believe this song has only received two comments. its a lovely song featured in grey's anatomy.
I think this song is about the moment you realize that something is over. The moment you have to let go end go on even if you dont realy want to.
beautiful song, especially with the cello.
To me, the song is about loss and grieving, over something that can no longer, no matter what you do, be the same again. Be it a death or the end of a realtionship. She's talking about the feeling of loosing something that can't be replaced. i like bemenow's interpretation of it - when you realize that something is over and you end up having to let go of it, even if you don't want to and not prepared to do so either. Beautiful song, so sad, but beautiful
For me, it is a song that stands for support. I've been a part of a supportchat where depressive people talk to each other and support each other.... This song to me stands not only for feeling sad yourself, and fighting through your days, it also represents the thought of not wanting others to go down..... The singer understands the other person, in a way others can't.....
This song really speaks to personally because it reminds me of one of my good friends. Like coinxoperatedxgirl said, I think it's about the loss of something; for me, one of my best friends. No matter how much I wish it could go back to the way it used to be, I have to accept that it won't because we've drifted apart. And yet if she ever needed anything, I'd always be there for her.
