This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Splintered soles and cracked rungs
Soaking flames and black lungs
Climbing only brings me closer to drowning
Effort only speeds burning embers to rain down
This ocean's waves crash up against the varnished sides of the hull
Whose walls securely insulate my heart from the swells
But these, these tides persist
Rust grows by the inch
Corrosion turns to decay
This ship's tired and old
Can't take much more of the cold before it breaks like glass
I've been drawn and quartered
My limbs anchored to spirited steeds who tear with opposite speeds
I've had my turn, I've crashed, I've burned
Through catastrophe, it's been right here in front of me
This is of epic proportions, the essence of enlightenment
This is a divination which I alone am privy to
My fears have been suffocated by vindication
My vessel's bow has detected your beacons along the shore
I've been drawn and quartered
My limbs anchored to spirited steeds who tear with opposite speeds
I've had my turn, I've crashed, I've burned
Through catastrophe, it's been right here in front of me
So I will grab my pale, and drag my shovel across the ground
But I'm not striding coasts, building sand castles and moats
I'm off to dig my own grave
No service is needed, no eulogy here
All I need's this final resting place
So build me a tombstone
Engrave it by hand with "The Boy Who Mishandled Your Heart."
My last goodbyes are to those who'll soon eat my insides
I've been drawn and quartered
My limbs anchored to spirited steeds who tear with opposite speeds
I've had my turn, I've crashed, I've burned
Through catastrophe, you've been right here in front of me
Soaking flames and black lungs
Climbing only brings me closer to drowning
Effort only speeds burning embers to rain down
This ocean's waves crash up against the varnished sides of the hull
Whose walls securely insulate my heart from the swells
But these, these tides persist
Rust grows by the inch
Corrosion turns to decay
This ship's tired and old
Can't take much more of the cold before it breaks like glass
I've been drawn and quartered
My limbs anchored to spirited steeds who tear with opposite speeds
I've had my turn, I've crashed, I've burned
Through catastrophe, it's been right here in front of me
This is of epic proportions, the essence of enlightenment
This is a divination which I alone am privy to
My fears have been suffocated by vindication
My vessel's bow has detected your beacons along the shore
I've been drawn and quartered
My limbs anchored to spirited steeds who tear with opposite speeds
I've had my turn, I've crashed, I've burned
Through catastrophe, it's been right here in front of me
So I will grab my pale, and drag my shovel across the ground
But I'm not striding coasts, building sand castles and moats
I'm off to dig my own grave
No service is needed, no eulogy here
All I need's this final resting place
So build me a tombstone
Engrave it by hand with "The Boy Who Mishandled Your Heart."
My last goodbyes are to those who'll soon eat my insides
I've been drawn and quartered
My limbs anchored to spirited steeds who tear with opposite speeds
I've had my turn, I've crashed, I've burned
Through catastrophe, you've been right here in front of me

Hayalperest
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.

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.
