This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Don't use a weakness
Don't change the subject
Don't ask the questions if you fear the answer
You look distorted, lets make you clearer
Lets flip the switch and use the smoke and mirrors
Re-invent yourself today
Re-invent your world today
[Chorus:]
Crying out for the last time
Clear a space for the warning signs
Crying out for the last time
And there's no turning back now that you've opened up to your mind
What guides your vision?
What holds the balance?
Don't think that I can't see you shake and tremble
Well I know your nervous this world is scary
You have to let go all the madness you carry
Re-invent yourself today
Re-invent your world today
[Chorus]
There is no turning back now
Everything you've ever wanted
Everything in this moment
There is no turning back now
[Chorus]
Crying out
Crying for the last time
Crying out
Crying for the last time!
Don't change the subject
Don't ask the questions if you fear the answer
You look distorted, lets make you clearer
Lets flip the switch and use the smoke and mirrors
Re-invent yourself today
Re-invent your world today
[Chorus:]
Crying out for the last time
Clear a space for the warning signs
Crying out for the last time
And there's no turning back now that you've opened up to your mind
What guides your vision?
What holds the balance?
Don't think that I can't see you shake and tremble
Well I know your nervous this world is scary
You have to let go all the madness you carry
Re-invent yourself today
Re-invent your world today
[Chorus]
There is no turning back now
Everything you've ever wanted
Everything in this moment
There is no turning back now
[Chorus]
Crying out
Crying for the last time
Crying out
Crying for the last time!

@[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.
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental 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.
This song I think is a coming out of depression or a situation in which you were going way off, ie drugs.
"re-invent yourself today reinvent your world today" THis is just like returning back, and making yourself something new. The chorus also talks about opening up your mind, which seems to me that it would be finally opening up to the presence of happiness, or life in general without whatever might have been keeping you down. THhe second verse is one badass verse. It is very true, and is almost something that i think we all need to look at in ourselves and realize.
I think its about someone who has always been telling you how to be and what to be and you're finally "opening up to your mind" and becoming your own person.
Smoke and mirrors has to do with drugs i think. Mirrors to do with coke maybe and smoke with weed or something else. Flip the switch might have something to do with using his past with drugs to his advantage.
i love this song
to me this song means your going down a path where you make decisions that cannot be changed once they have been made "
i agree with both dkgoldfish and outlaw...this song obviously carries the theme of the CD, as it says on the inside of the case:
"This record was written for the dreamers for the people that have, in one way or another, been cut down or cast out of society for being different or having an opinion, it is an expression of insecurity and frustration, and yet, the will to overcome
there's no turning back now that you've opened up to your mind"
i also agree with both dkgoldfish and outlaw, id just like to add one thing. i think its about becoming the person you want to be but also, theres someone or a group of people who dont want you to be that person. i think that is what the first stanza is about.
The second verse is my favorite. I think the song is about like becoming the person you want to be and letting go of the questions that come with that and people's personal thoughts of you
Just an unbelievable song - why this wasn't released as a single I'll never know...
"Don't use a weakness, don't change the subject, don't ask the questions if you fear the answer"
"You look distorted, lets make you clearer, lets flip the switch and use the smoke and mirrors"
"Re-invent yourself today, re-invent your world today"
"Crying out for the last time, clear a space for the warning signs, crying out for the last time, and there's no turning back now that you've opened up to your mind"
"What guides your vision, what holds the balance, don't think that I can't see you shake and tremble"
"Well I know your nervous, this world is scary, you have to let go all the madness you carry"
"There is no turning back now, everything you've ever wanted, everything in this moment, there is no turning back now"
That's my take on the whole thing. I happen to believe that Shinedown have written a masterpiece here, and the meaning is conveyed exceptionally by the way Brent Smith sings the song.
