This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I know you're alone
In the dark, all alone
Underneath the covers
Hiding from the demons
That came for your soul.
They might be over in the closet
They might be underneath your bed
They might be just outside your window, baby
Or maybe just inside your head.
But if you let me stay over
I'll try to keep you safe
I've got an army of skeletons
To chase your demons away.
I know that you're scared
You're in the dark, so scared
Simply terrified, no one'll hear you screaming
If they could would they care?
There's only one way to find out
I pray that day never comes
For that would mean the ending of you, baby
The end of you, my love.
But if you let me stay over
I'll try to keep you safe
I've got an army of skeletons
To chase your demons away.
And baby, I can tell you've been crying
Oh baby, I know you've been lying to me
Yes indeed.
Oh baby, I can tell you don't sleep no more
Oh baby, believe me I've been there before.
If you let me stay over
I'll try to keep you safe
I've got an army of skeletons
To chase your demons away.
In the dark, all alone
Underneath the covers
Hiding from the demons
That came for your soul.
They might be over in the closet
They might be underneath your bed
They might be just outside your window, baby
Or maybe just inside your head.
But if you let me stay over
I'll try to keep you safe
I've got an army of skeletons
To chase your demons away.
I know that you're scared
You're in the dark, so scared
Simply terrified, no one'll hear you screaming
If they could would they care?
There's only one way to find out
I pray that day never comes
For that would mean the ending of you, baby
The end of you, my love.
But if you let me stay over
I'll try to keep you safe
I've got an army of skeletons
To chase your demons away.
And baby, I can tell you've been crying
Oh baby, I know you've been lying to me
Yes indeed.
Oh baby, I can tell you don't sleep no more
Oh baby, believe me I've been there before.
If you let me stay over
I'll try to keep you safe
I've got an army of skeletons
To chase your demons away.

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”
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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.
the song is on the association to protect children cd. clearly it wasn't written about children... but another beautiful song from matt none the less. not as dark or evil as he can be with his metaphors, but still the demons and skeletons dark side of things. :)
