This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
The world is run by clowns
With trigger happy hands
But the world is run by
People that we don't understand
And so we're living in a culture
Made of death and fear
It doesn't seem the human race will
Make it through the year
The world is run by lying
Drunks and balding know-it-alls
But my mother told me pride would
Always come before a fall
And I remember in the day when
We were young and green
We were filled with hope
We were squeaky clean
The world's an unforgiving place
We've all heard this before
But we want hospitals and equal
Rights instead of bloody wars
We want the right to blow our minds
As crazy as it seems
The only place you're truly free
Is cosy in your dreams i said
The only place you're truly free
Is cosy in your dreams
Put your hands in the air
Wave them like you give a fuck
Put your hands in the air
Wave them like you give a fuck
Put your hands in the air
Wave them like you give a fuck
Put your hands in the air
Wave them like you give a fuck
The world is run by clowns
With trigger happy hands
But the world is run by
People that we don't understand
And so we're living in a culture
Made of death and fear
It doesn't seem the human race will
Make it through the year
Put your hands in the air
Wave them like you give a fuck
Put your hands in the air
Wave them like you give a fuck
Put your hands in the air
Wave them like you give a fuck
Put your hands in the air
Wave them like you give a fuck

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

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.
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.
the meaning of this song is pretty obvious, but what's interesting about it is the way they are (were) performing this song on the tour.
if you were lucky and could see them play :-) you would know what I mean,..... and if not, you can as well find different versions on the net (from their 2010 tour). and btw, there are also two different versions on the battle for the sun; redux edition ........... so as the meaning is really clear I would say that the point here is on the performance
