This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
They're almost falling over you
Why don't they call a truce?
Whatever they are trying to do
It's of little use
They're drowning you in compliments
Trying to furnish proof
And though they speak with eloquence
There is little truth
You're bright, you're strong, you know your right from wrong
At least to some degree
You're wise, you're tough, you've heard their lies enough
You smile in sympathy
I'm watching your serenity
The way your soul transcends
The tedious absurdities
Your patience never ends
And as the night begins to fade
You're heading for the door
And followed by a sad parade
Your on your own once more
You're bright, you're strong, you know your right from wrong
At least to some degree
You're wise, you're tough, you've heard their lies enough
You smile in sympathy
You're bright, you're strong, you know your right from wrong
At least to some degree
You're wise, you're tough, you've heard their lies enough
You smile in sympathy
Why don't they call a truce?
Whatever they are trying to do
It's of little use
They're drowning you in compliments
Trying to furnish proof
And though they speak with eloquence
There is little truth
You're bright, you're strong, you know your right from wrong
At least to some degree
You're wise, you're tough, you've heard their lies enough
You smile in sympathy
I'm watching your serenity
The way your soul transcends
The tedious absurdities
Your patience never ends
And as the night begins to fade
You're heading for the door
And followed by a sad parade
Your on your own once more
You're bright, you're strong, you know your right from wrong
At least to some degree
You're wise, you're tough, you've heard their lies enough
You smile in sympathy
You're bright, you're strong, you know your right from wrong
At least to some degree
You're wise, you're tough, you've heard their lies enough
You smile in sympathy

Hayalperest
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.
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.

Punchline

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.
This song has got probably one of the best intros on earth lol.
I'd say it cud be something to do wiv a girl at the bar. Maybe the narrator is also there and has seen everything that goes on. She's or waiting for that someone to talk to her like a human bein and love her for who she is and not the weirdos that look for 5 minutes of fun.
"I'm watching your serenity The way your soul transcends Their tedious obscenities Your patience never ends"
"And as the night begins to fade You're heading for the door Followed by a sad parade You're on your own once more"
Thats just my interpretation anyway :)
I think, this song is about personal growth: Feeling yourself and standing above it all. In my mind comes the picture of a person who was manipulated a lot in the past and finally learned to break free and to derive self worth from within, not the acknowledgment of others. Another interpretation could be that the lyrics are about everyday sexism and how a woman learned to deal with it and stand above it all.
"They’re almost falling over you Why don’t they call a truce Whatever they are trying to do It’s of little use
They’re drowning you in compliments Trying to furnish proof And though they speak with eloquence There is little truth"
The lyrical subject gets a lot of attention and false compliments by people, who pretend to be friends, but it's more appearance than substance. S/he doesn't buy what the say, s/he knows of their insincerity.
"You’re bright You’re strong You know your right from wrong At least to some degree You’re wise You’re tough You’ve heard their lies enough You smile in sympathy
I’m watching your serenity The way your soul transcends Their tedious obscenities Your patience never ends"
Here it gets clear that the lyrical subject learned his/her lesson and is calm and above it all. S/he is bored by their feigned admiration and attempts of manipulation.
"And as the night begins to fade You’re heading for the door Followed by a sad parade You’re on your own once more"
When all the people are gone who pretend to be supportive but want to take advantage of his/her, s/he is alone again - but it's still better than to fall for their lies. It ends with the chorus, so the song is still empowering and positive - with a slight sad touch.
This song sounds well.
The first time I understood the text it made me think of a person who I regard with a lot of esteem. He's very wise and bright and disenchanted in everything he does. But he also can't lie, and everytime he's with people he doesn't like, I can read it on the expression of his face. He smiles just for politeness, he's more silent than ever.
Now when I listen to this song I always think of him. ^_^
It sounds like it's about a child in a divorce situation. The parents use him as a pawn and compliment him for his maturity, but at the end of the night when the parents go their separate ways...they leave him neglected, worrying instead about themselves.
I see all adults in this one, no children. I see a female Domme surrounded by adult slaves and "their tedious obscenities". And the songwriter is describing how the slaves act towards Her and how She interacts with them. Complimenting Her with admiration.
