This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Death to distraction
Reverse the resurrection
Today we say what is not said or read
And I'll bring to life what is now dead
No, this is not a message to me or you
But rather a call to arms
We arm with the truth
We are at war but what is it for?
They say on the screen "democracy's dream"
But why don't they trace the blood back to the green?
We are at war and that's what we die for.
Death to distraction.
Reverse the resurrection.
Today we say what is not said or read
And I'll bring to life what is now dead
No, he did not have support to declare war
And there is no help so we must send more
Why must it be?
It profits not me
The shepard lets sheep die in their sleep
And then feeds on the land of those who won't reap
To satisfy greed "be all that you can be!"
Death to distraction
Reverse the resurrection
This whole production was a lie, we'd buy,
But what's not staged is that we'd die to try
And save what he's tapping
Blood for oil
Now that you're listening...
These are some hard times
But we had them coming
We were the ones who went out and voted him in
He called a mandate and our hopes were choking
But just take deep breaths and remember we're oxygen
Turn off your T.V. screens
Put your ears to the street
They are laughing
But how long will that be?
Turn off your T.V. screens
Put your ears to the street
They are laughing
But how long will that be?
Decide.

@[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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
what a cool song, i like the vocals and stuff but that techno breakdown kinda pulled me off but the breakdown after it is cool oh and its obvious this song is about bush and it completely anti-war they didnt even use metaphor or something to kinda cover it up or just hint at it they just flat out said it haha
just take deep breathes remember we're oxygen ahhhh
amazing
