This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Everywhere in vans and behind garage doors, a hospice
Ward of all the kids we know foregoing student loans
To watch the joints play catch up with bored. set life
Supports, prepare to deport. these are the years that
Scatter the young into doctors and drunks. so we take
Such sweet speed. the best it could be is life work
Free. it's the allergies of labor again, and the hourly wages can't
Save us finances be damned. anywhere in bands. we're
Gone once the summer hits gone to feel the elegance of
Fuel and transit and sleep and the terror of streets
As the rumble strips breathe deep. these are the years
That scatter the young into doctors and drunks. why
Did this storm wait so long on us. safe to say I'm
Never going home to live the way I was before. waiting
For my life to implode with the sheer force of the
Workforce. safe to say I'm never going home to live
The way I was before, fucked up on the coming storm of
Credit reports and cash withdrawals. so them we'll go
If fortune exists farther than at home on the open
Road where the small experience grows . we'll go

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.
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.
Favorite song off the Contract EP.
This seems to be about the years after high school, when a person has to move into adulthood.
These are the years that scatter the young The young into doctors and drunks
Kinda a comment on the different paths people take once they get out of high school.
Anywhere in bands We're gone once the summer hits Gone to feel the elegance Of fuel and transit and sleep And the terror of streets as the rumble strips breathe deep
This seems to be when the band was formed, if I read the song right. He's contrasting his life and his path to some of the other people he knows back home.
