This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Have you been headwired?
Were you satisfied?
Did it free the feelings in your spine?
Sleeping way inside all this time
Will your meet your mind
Where the night collides?
Will you greet yourself when the sun arrives?
I'll just stay behind, I've met mine
Better than a bullet being fired
Tangled in your headwires now
Better than a bullet being fired
Tangled in your headwires
Headwires now
Help you feed the wires
When your head unwinds?
And if our headlines become entwined
You can have all mine, I'll be fine
There's a reason why
Keeping me alive
There's a cure in me that I wish were mine
As long as I can fight, I'll survive
Better than a bullet being fired
Tangled in your headwires now
Better than a bullet being fired
Tangled in your headwires
Headwires
Stationed on the wire (headwires)
One day I'll let go (headwires)
Tell them all, "Hello" (headwires)
Tell them all, "Hello" (headwires)
Stationed on the wire (headwires)
One day I'll let go (headwires)
Tell them all, "Hello" (headwires)
Tell them all, "Hello" (headwires)
Headwire
Hello
The sun is on Arlandria
Sun is on Arlandria

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.
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
wow I'm really sick of this connecting every Foo's song to Kurt its almost sickening, maybe a few were written about that part of his life but honestly get over it, I love Nirvana and Kurt but let Dave do his own thing and quit this crap...K done aha
i don't know what this song is about...i thought maybe suicide. "better than a bullet being fired, tangled in your headwires now" like its better to get threw this sh*t than to kill yourself.
OK, I've lost count of how many Foo Fighters songs "are about Kurt Cobain". This one, though, seems like it could be, if for no other reason than "Tell them all hello" sounding like a reference to Smells Like Teen Spirit, with no other obvious meaning.
I think that a few of the songs from the Foo's are definetly about Kurt...but I also think that a lot of the songs which are "supposedly" about Kurt are not. I think Dave Grohl loved Nirvana but he's over it--he's in a new band and has a new life. Judging from this, I'm sure he writes about new experiences he has had. Dave also doesn't seem like the kind of person who dwells on misfortune: he is very optimistic.
this song has grown on me, now pretty much my favourite off TNLTL. looking forward to the new album...it's gonna be old school rockout, so woohoo! anyways, that's what i think...
I think its about getting caught in someone's mind games, and caring about what they think about you; at least...that's what the song means to me.
Arlandria is a town in Virginia he might be writting about his return to virginia or from living there as a kid.
Some songs are about kurt, courtney love and seattle. Most arent but they will always have an impact in his music.
You're very close, but Arlandria isn't quite a town. It's a section of Alexandria that borders Arlington, the name is a combination of the two. Both are DC suburbs, right near Springfield where Grohl grew up.
My idea of this song is it's about saying goodbye to people who maybe you shouldn't be around. Weither they are drug addicts or gangs or just pessimistic people, I think it's saying that you're tired of the way they think, and you're going to seperate yourself and get back to being you.
A science fiction writer named Larry Niven coined the term "wirehead" in one of his books. This is a person who has been fitted with a device that enters their brain and physically stimulates their pleasure center, creating artificial bliss. Based on that, I think this song is about using drugs(headwires) to create artificial happiness and how it's not the same as real happiness(have you been headwired? were you satisfied?). There are a lot of lyrics that seem to point to drugs/tripping out too. Will you meet your mind where the night collides. Will you greet yourself when the sun arrives. These two seem the most obvious to me.
FF have now released another song about Arlandria... WHAT DOES IT MEAN???
Arlandria is a part of Alexandria, Virginia, a suburb of DC that Dave Grohl grew up in
Haha, I just came here checking the lyrics to make sure he was saying "Arlandria" wondering the exact same thing. Cool to know.
creedude is nearly right. Grohl grew up in Springfield, which is next to Alexandria. Still a DC suburb though.<br /> <br /> By the way, you probably won't find Arlandria on any maps. The name is "locals only" slang, coming from the fact that this part of Alexandria borders Arlington, Virginia. The term Arlandria is a combination of the two words.
