This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I used to wake up in the morning
I used to feel so bad
I got so sick of having sleepless nights
I went and told my dad
He said, son now here's some little something
And stuck them on my wall
And now my nights ain't quite so lonely
In fact I, I don't feel bad at all
I don't feel so bad at all
Pictures of Lily made my life so wonderful
Pictures of Lily helped me sleep at night
Pictures of Lily solved my childhood problems
Pictures of Lily helped me feel alright
Pictures of Lily
Lily, oh Lily
Lily, oh Lily
Pictures of Lily
And then one day things weren't quite so fine
I fell in love with Lily
I asked my dad where Lily I could find
He said, son, now don't be silly
She's been dead since 1929
Oh, how I cried that night
If only I'd been born in Lily's time
It would have been alright
Pictures of Lily made my life so wonderful
Pictures of Lily helped me sleep at night
For me and Lily are together in my dreams
And I ask you, hey mister, have you ever seen
Pictures of Lily?
I used to feel so bad

I don't feel so bad at all
Pictures of Lily made my life so wonderful
Pictures of Lily helped me sleep at night

Lily, oh Lily

Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.
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.
quoting pete "merely a ditty about masturbation and the importance of it to a young man. it's all about a boy who can't sleep at night, so his dad gives him some dirty pictures to look at. then he falls in love with the girl in the pictures which is too bad because she is dead."
it's about masturbation. and it's fucking brilliant. the end.
Yeah, I read in an article that "pictures of lily took the topic of masturbation firmly in hand..."
pictures of lily = porn
It's clear that song is about masturbation but wouldn't say it's about porn for I don't think that's the right word for the "pictures of Lily".
I've always imagined that the "pictures of Lily" are pictures of a very beautiful and attractive woman - maybe a famous movie star or a woman from showbusiness - not smutty or dirty porn pictures.
This is (by far) the best song about masturbation I have ever heard. I'm not sure the "Pictures of Lily" are porn, though. They are most likely just pictures of an attractive woman his dad knew who died in 1929. Not necessarily porn. But no doubt this song is about masturbation.
@Tom_And_Jerry "Lily" is Lily Langtree, an actress who did indeed die in 1929. She was gorgeous and I'm sure"inspired" young men for generations.
@Tom_And_Jerry Cyndi Lauper's "She Bop" also covers the same topic, in a way that most of us didn't pick up on what the song was about until we were told. <br /> <br /> Both are more subtle than the Divinyls' "I Touch Myself".
okay seriously its about masturbation
get over it UKnowWhereuAre
pictures of lilly are a type of porno mag from the twenties
bingo. the song is about masturbation
to quote john entwistle "its all about wanking"
Wow, he must have a kick ass dad to give him porn. Also, a rather odd one to teach his son about jackin off.
This song is about masturbation, obviously. But apparently the radio deejays didn't catch wise because they played the record!
