This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I can barely look at you
Don't tell me who you lost it to
Didn't we say we had a deal?
Didn't I say how bad I feel?
Everyone needs a helping hand
Who said I would not understand?
Someone up the social scale
For when you're going off the rails
Have post break up sex
That helps you forget your ex
What did you expect
From post break up sex?
Leave it 'til the guilt consumes
Fucking in the nearest room
All our friends were unaware
Most had just passed out downstairs
To think I'd hoped you'd be okay
Now I can't think of what to say
Maybe I misunderstood
But I can't believe you're feeling good
From post break up sex
That helps you forget your ex
What did you expect
From post break up sex? Alright
Post break up sex
That helps you forget your ex
What did you expect
From post break up sex?
Oh, when you love somebody but you find someone
Uh-huh-huh
And it all unravels and it comes undone
Uh-huh-huh, uh-huh-huh
Uh-huh-huh
Post break up sex
That helps you forget your ex
What did you expect
From post break up sex?
Post break up sex

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
No Surprises
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.
Amazing

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.

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.
No. It's about your ex having sex with someone else shortly after you broke up.
I think this song is about a guy and girl who have an agreement to have sex after they both had ugly break ups. The 2 people just want to have meaningless sex, but the girl has feelings for the guy. The guy just wanted to have sex and hoped it would be meaningless and nothing happens. The girl tries to reconnect and the guy calls it "Post break up sex" and thinks he doing the girl a favor.
The song is about regret and how post break up sex doesn't help and you just end up more hurt in the end. In the video it's easier to get it.
Justin Young (Vaccines' frontman) said this about "Post Break-Up Sex" "This song is pretty self-explanatory. I remember writing it on my bed and wanting it to be as simple as possible. It’s exactly numb." (Source: craveonline.com/music/articles/168591-advance-vaccines-full-album-stream)
He also said, "I guess the song Post Breakup Sex is pretty self explanatory, really. I guess it just deals, in quite simple way, with the emotions that one goes through when they have sex with someone else for the first time after splitting up with someone, or even having sex with that person again. And yah, it kinda feels sh**, doesn't it." (Source: youtu.be/kXZ8E4VR-tc)
Great song. It's what people have when they are unable to love or be loved...when they have sex to not feel lonely and kill every relationship they have within months. It's sex that losers have because they are too cowardly to have real relationships so they lie and manipulate to get what they want...only it feels like shit the next day because it was all fake. Anyone can have an orgasm. Anyone (and I mean anyone) can have sex, but boring cowardly predictable people were made for this song. It's ALL they will EVER know. Happy Happy Sunday Sexing!!!
That's not the sound of sex you hear. That's the sound of SETTLING. Listen carefully, it grows louder by the day, month, year. You can pretty much track it on a calendar. GREAT song, but pathetic lyrics and sentiment. I think I'll stick with love...and finding a new one.
Tonight's repertoire for the male who prefers seconds/scraps:<br /> <br /> Pretty Young Thing<br /> Rock Your Body<br /> Something in your mouth<br /> Universal Love<br /> Sex on Fire<br /> Shook Me All Night Long<br /> Your Body is a Wonderland<br /> That Ass<br /> One I Love<br /> Post Break Up Sex<br /> She's Not You<br /> Another Girl<br /> (And miscelaneous others)
This song is about 2 people who made a deal and decided to be sex-buddies, after some rellationship that just ended. Both are kinda down in the dumps because of the break-up and they found in sex a way to get over all these bad feelings. He still loves his old girlfriend, but is trying to move on having sex with this girl.
I think he’s talking to his reflection, he’s dealing with his own emotions of moving on, he made a deal with himself not to rush into something new but did anyway. He’s troubled with his emotions of weather it felt good or not. Going through the same shit now lol
This song is about the singer having just broken up with someone and still loves and misses her but is trying to move on so decides to have sex with someone at a party. Him and this girl agree that they are going to just have no strings attached "Post break-up" sex. However, after it she suddenly starts to talk deep with him, starts admitting her feelings for him and is getting hurt at how he isn't making it more. He is really frustrated at this as he is trying his best to keep it together because he's so upset so he doesn't need this girl who doesn't know him trying to butt in. He's trying to break it to her but is really pissed off because they agreed this was all it was and now he just feels even more of a mess than before and regrets it. This is him speaking to her and getting annoyed asking "what did she expect?" when she is shocked he doesn't want a relationship or any more contact from her. This song is not about him being a bad guy and hurting people, it's simply showing how much of a wreck he is about his ex and this is him falling apart when he realises he has definately done the wrong thing.
Will this song define the singer's life? Or will it be Sex on Fire by Kings of Leon? Or This Charming Man by The Smiths? Or The Cure's Friday I'm in Love? Perhaps The Vaccines' Teenage Icon? Living in the moment has its perks and it can be da*m exciting, but these songs as a legacy? I can't imagine that this is anyone's goal in life. GREAT song...very creative. Love the band, too.
I like the band. I think this song is hilarious. Sex for the sake of having sex...yeah, that's mature. Telling lies and using ones charm to get someone for a night or two. Such a difficult task these days of recreational sex; takes a real casanova to manage to do that...LOL. Let's get something straight, guys (boys); the majority of females WANT an emotional relationship with you. The majority are not pigs like players are. They may sleep with you, but while you are expecting a one night stand they are hoping you'll call them the next day and an actual relationship will blossom. So if you're out sticking your lil' willy in every vagina that is willing, you have to know that you are slime. And if you're having sex while you profess to love another, than you're the epitome of LOSER. And wear an F-ing condom; I'm sure they make them in size X-small.
looks like someone had post break up sex...
I believe the question is when DIDN'T you have it ;)
