This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
What you know about that
Fallen! Fallen Babylon!
The so-called great. Dead weight
Dread 'bout to update
The death rate, in one take
Make no mistake
We the real deala
The radical, natural-born wig splitta
Gonna get cha with the style
That make your soul holla, more drama
The on droppa the sure sotta
Rock it steady, we ready
Till the track is diminished
And when the dog goes belly up
Consider it finished
Sounds like it's war to me
Peace, love and casualties
Sounds like it's war to me, yeah
Close your eyes so you can see
Peace, love and harmony
Sounds like the war in me, yeah
We keep on moving like don't stop
Let it go. Soul to soul
Dread at the controls
Tag 'em up and label them John Doe
The raw flow
Rebuild the new style empire
Blazing required like that
Fourth man on fire
This gun's for hire
Take the vow of the Nazarene
To come clean
Like crazy baldheads (knot I mean)
Wickedness fear the style of the deathblow
Carve the name across your chest
In case the dog catcher want to know
Sounds like it's war to me
Peace, love and casualties
Sounds like it's war to me, yeah
Close your eyes so you can see
Peace, love and harmony
Sounds like the war in me, yeah
Dread at the controls, label them John Doe
Sounds like it's war to me
Peace, love and casualties
Sounds like it's war to me, yeah
Close your eyes so you can see
Peace, love and harmony
Sounds like the war in me, yeah
Sounds like it's war to me
Peace, love and casualties
Sounds like it's war to me, yeah
Whatever the case may be
This time it's got to be
Peace, love and harmony, yeah

Little Feat
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 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.
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.
This song rocks! I love it because there are so many Biblical references sprinkled throughout. "Fallen! Fallen Babylon!" is from Revelation (and I think Isaiah), and I think the word "dog" is really "die" (I've seen it that way elsewhere), which fits "The last enemy to be defeated is death" (die goes belly up consider it finished). The fourth man on fire is from the account of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego (they were thrown in a furnace, but rather than burning, they walked around inside with "the fourth" who "looks like a son of the gods"). Of course, Christ was a Nazarene, and "baldhead" is a reference to Elijah (or Elisha, I'm not sure which). POD really knows their stuff!
