This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
All of the things that I believe
Are going down in flames now
All of the things that I believe
Are going down in flames now
You ask why and I don't think about it
It being us and us no longer a thing
I try and try I just can't understand it
Feeling love's inevitable sting
You've got the right to hurt right now
You've got the right to hate me
You say you're better off now
You say you're better off
I've got to figure myself out
I've got to try and fix me
You say you're better off now
Just go ahead and sign that lease
And leave me forever
All of you and my old friends
They're throwing me in flames now
You ask why and I don't think about it
It being us and us no longer a thing
I try and try I just can't understand it
Feeling love's inevitable sting
You've got the right to hurt right now
You've got the right to hate me
You say you're better off now
You say you're better off
I've got to figure myself out
I've got to try and fix me
You say you're better off now
You're such a good friend
That's why I have to break your heart
Take my love and take my life
All my friends with no goodbyes
Take my love and make me cry
All my friends with no goodbyes
Take my love and make me die
All my friends with no goodbyes
Goodbye

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”

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.
I think "the saddles are loaded, the mickeys are slipped" means that the other horses and had extra weight put into their saddles and the stable lads, who are often Irish (micks = mickeys) been bribed (slipped cash).
Pegasus pills could mean steroids or just mean that the horse is almost fast enough to fly (Pegasus = flying horse)
The snaps of the stewards so candid - suggests that the officials are in on the fix as well
Penguins and pearls - dinner suits and smart dresses for the ladies.
Donahue Sisters - is the name of a play set in Ireland by Gerald Aron. No obviously connection but keeps with the Irish theme
@hilts Donahue sisters might be a reference to The Dolly Sisters. Two actress and dancers who were famous for high stakes gambing at horse tracks and casinos. Kind of The Cheeky Girls of Pre-War Europe.
