This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Call in the social
Call in the mediation
How else can a shadow
Behind her not follow
Call on the lonely
A plea for you to befriend her
Makes only you feel better
Make only you
Nothing outside will care enough
Nothing outside of you
This trail that you're treading
Is one flicked switch awaiting many
The coils the echoes rattling
I hope the fears are buried beneath my love
My love
Love is the everchanging spectrum of a lie,
A lie to hide behind when nothings right
You take form with ink and blood
Can't you see I'm good
Nothing outside will care enough
Nothing outside of you
The dangers of showing
Any kind of weakness
Just to forget your born
Nothing outside of you
Call in the mediation
How else can a shadow
Behind her not follow
Call on the lonely
A plea for you to befriend her
Makes only you feel better
Make only you
Nothing outside will care enough
Nothing outside of you
This trail that you're treading
Is one flicked switch awaiting many
The coils the echoes rattling
I hope the fears are buried beneath my love
My love
Love is the everchanging spectrum of a lie,
A lie to hide behind when nothings right
You take form with ink and blood
Can't you see I'm good
Nothing outside will care enough
Nothing outside of you
The dangers of showing
Any kind of weakness
Just to forget your born
Nothing outside of you

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.
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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Fantastic song on a fantastic album.
This is just my interpretation, but I feel like the song is about a girl who is going through her years in superficial friendships without actually feeling what it is to have a real bond with another human being. These superficial friendships are filled with petty conflicts which she discusses with her friends, who also get too involved in her drama, trying to 'mediate'. These are not really much of friends, but they all act behave in a similar manner to the subject girl.
When she tries to have a meaningful relationship with a human being, she looks for someone lonely, who surely will not pass up the chance to have a friend. This backfires, as she still cannot actually share herself with the person because they aren't really friends based on anything concrete. The lonely person is just happy to have someone to call a friend, while the subject girl is not genuinely satisfied. The girl cannot make friends for the right reasons.
All throughout this song, she can't find anyone who actually cares about her, so she feels that 'nothing outside will care enough', leaving herself to care about herself.
She can't figure it out, though. She keeps trying to do the same thing, hoping it will succeed in making her actual friends. This won't ever work, though, so she tries to find love. However, even this is superficial and fake, as she hasn't figured out how to actually relate to another human being on a deep level. When she can't get things right and keeps getting left behind by guys she tries to love, she can't see why none of them see her as good enough. In reality, she needs to see herself for whom she really is and show that to people. They can't just see it.
She can't just show herself, because it makes her seem weak and exposes her to the trivial drama she believes will continue with everyone, when in reality, it shouldn't if she finds real friends. She tries to pretend she is not affected by human needs, hence the "forget you're born" part.
