This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Saturday
I could feel the crowd's dismay
They've acquired quite a fire
To burn the profane on a funeral pyre
Voices shrill
Cutting silence like they mean to kill
Some pep rally where we scream His name
Like God was losing in a football game
I don't want to waste His name this time
I will never cast him to the swine
Grasping at some feeling you once knew
Is nothing sacred ever safe with you?
Silver tongues
All the spirit of an iron lung
Selling highs as if we needed one
Flash the lights so not to be outdone
Counterfeit
Wanting joy so much we take a hit
Like a tapeworm deep in hunger digs
Waste the sacred
Just to feed these pigs
If this is real, then you must find it
Between the space of grace and grim
It's nothing you can manufacture
Your walls cannot contain Him
I could feel the crowd's dismay
They've acquired quite a fire
To burn the profane on a funeral pyre
Voices shrill
Cutting silence like they mean to kill
Some pep rally where we scream His name
Like God was losing in a football game
I don't want to waste His name this time
I will never cast him to the swine
Grasping at some feeling you once knew
Is nothing sacred ever safe with you?
Silver tongues
All the spirit of an iron lung
Selling highs as if we needed one
Flash the lights so not to be outdone
Counterfeit
Wanting joy so much we take a hit
Like a tapeworm deep in hunger digs
Waste the sacred
Just to feed these pigs
If this is real, then you must find it
Between the space of grace and grim
It's nothing you can manufacture
Your walls cannot contain Him

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”
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.
American Town

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. 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.
All right, I busted out my dictionary and here's what I found. I think the pigs in this song refer to the unGodly people in this world, the people who are take God out of everything in this world. In the song It says "I don't want to waste His name this time I will never cast him to the swine", it means that he has given in at one time or another to these people and he regrets it. And the second part is like what I said before, people lose faith in God and they try to manufacture this God in there mind and they don't really know Him, because they lose their want to know Him.
