This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
I want a wrecking ball
I want to break it all
I want to jump the track
Fade the day to black
It's in the elements
In the elements
Is what they meant
And the world is bent
Give me something to believe in
A drop of hope to raise our fists up high
Blood fills our lungs from screaming
We won't live a lie
won't live a lie
This life is but a dream!
[Chorus]
So wake me up
Cause I must be dreaming
I can't believe what my eyes are seeing
Yeah wake me up
I can't find a meaning
Nothing really matters when
the world is sinking
Down, down. down
When it all falls
Down, down, down
Who will you blame?
I want to be what I'm not
I want to care a lot
I want to stop your fall
I want to take it all
It's never Heaven sent
Never heaven sent
And what they meant
never made a dent
Give me something to believe in
A drop of hope to raise our fists up high
Blood fills our lungs from screaming
We won't live a lie
won't live a lie
This life is but a dream.
[Chorus]
Trust is breached
We're misunderstood
We try to find our way
But we're falling down
Nothing to hold on to
No one there to catch you
And I could never lie to you
I said we're fucking falling down
Nothing to hold to
No one there to catch you
And I know you'd never lie
Give us something to believe in
This life is not a dream!
[Chorus]
I want to break it all
I want to jump the track
Fade the day to black
It's in the elements
In the elements
Is what they meant
And the world is bent
Give me something to believe in
A drop of hope to raise our fists up high
Blood fills our lungs from screaming
We won't live a lie
won't live a lie
This life is but a dream!
[Chorus]
So wake me up
Cause I must be dreaming
I can't believe what my eyes are seeing
Yeah wake me up
I can't find a meaning
Nothing really matters when
the world is sinking
Down, down. down
When it all falls
Down, down, down
Who will you blame?
I want to be what I'm not
I want to care a lot
I want to stop your fall
I want to take it all
It's never Heaven sent
Never heaven sent
And what they meant
never made a dent
Give me something to believe in
A drop of hope to raise our fists up high
Blood fills our lungs from screaming
We won't live a lie
won't live a lie
This life is but a dream.
[Chorus]
Trust is breached
We're misunderstood
We try to find our way
But we're falling down
Nothing to hold on to
No one there to catch you
And I could never lie to you
I said we're fucking falling down
Nothing to hold to
No one there to catch you
And I know you'd never lie
Give us something to believe in
This life is not a dream!
[Chorus]

Holiday

@[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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
God Damn it! This song is so powerful. It´s about never giving up and keep fighting for your goals completely alone. It´s about hold on and get yourself together.
However, when you are trying to reach a really high goal, you will do a series of mistakes. Is part of the whole process. Nobody is going to be there to help you , nobody is going to be there for you thus you must keep strong whatever happens.
You only live once...This life is not a dream! Even though the things are not going in your way, you must keep struggling until the last consequences.
You are going to make it. This shit is going to pass. This shit is going to pass...
¨So wake me up Cause I must be dreaming I can't believe what my eyes are seeing Yeah wake me up I can't find a meaning¨
I agree, but let me add this: The intro? BEST. DRUM. SOLO. EVER. This song is so damn inspiring that whenever I hear it, I just want to do something, anything; which is different from my normal laziness.
I think this song is about being depressed,
Yeah wake me up I can't find a meaning Nothing really matters when the world is sinking Down, down, down
