This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
i come from down in the catacombs of the opera house.
i hide my face while i long for her.
while i long for her lovely voice.
i long for her lovely voice.
her lovely voice. her lovely voice.
she sings la da da da.
through every crack the voice of an angel.
she doesn't know who i am, for i am a ghost.
oh, i am a ghost to her.
she doesn't know who i am and she never will
unless i can make her believe.
i've gotta make her believe in the darker side of me.
so i ask her...
take my hand and follow me on this journey to the underworld.
how i want her to want me.
her soaring voice carries into my mind.
i'm gonna take her away,
with me she will stay forever.
don't deny me, understand that i am a monster.
i am a monster.
won't you come with me now?
she doesn't know who i am,
for i am a ghost.
oh, i am a ghost to her.
she doesn't know who i am, and she never will
unless i can make her believe.
in me, in me, in me...
this face is deceitful when it smiles,
it doesn't show how desperate i am inside.
so come with me and we'll go,
believe in me and i'll show you who i am.
so you can see the man behind the monster that i am.
fighting my identity, i'll come take you away.
she doesn't know who i am,
for i am a ghost to her.
she doesn't know who i am and she never will.
no she never, never will believe. believe in me...
i hide my face while i long for her.
while i long for her lovely voice.
i long for her lovely voice.
her lovely voice. her lovely voice.
she sings la da da da.
through every crack the voice of an angel.
she doesn't know who i am, for i am a ghost.
oh, i am a ghost to her.
she doesn't know who i am and she never will
unless i can make her believe.
i've gotta make her believe in the darker side of me.
so i ask her...
take my hand and follow me on this journey to the underworld.
how i want her to want me.
her soaring voice carries into my mind.
i'm gonna take her away,
with me she will stay forever.
don't deny me, understand that i am a monster.
i am a monster.
won't you come with me now?
she doesn't know who i am,
for i am a ghost.
oh, i am a ghost to her.
she doesn't know who i am, and she never will
unless i can make her believe.
in me, in me, in me...
this face is deceitful when it smiles,
it doesn't show how desperate i am inside.
so come with me and we'll go,
believe in me and i'll show you who i am.
so you can see the man behind the monster that i am.
fighting my identity, i'll come take you away.
she doesn't know who i am,
for i am a ghost to her.
she doesn't know who i am and she never will.
no she never, never will believe. believe in me...

@[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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Surprised no one's commented on this one yet. Great song, and it's pretty obvious that it's written from the phantom's point of view from "The Phantom Of The Opera." The lyrics "I come down from the catacombs in the opera house. I hide my face while I long for her lovely voice." definitely point towards that meaning. Love the breakdown where he starts screaming "I am a monster!" So sick. An awesome album all the way around as well.
Completely agree w/ this pov.. i love this song!
