This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Death is promised to the bee whose sting protects the colony.
Was its life worth nothing more than honey for the queen?
Life is a branch and it is a dove, hand crafted by confusing love.
Sign language is our reply when church bells make no sound.
In hollow towers and empty hives, we crave sweetness with a fear of heights.
Was it all just a grain of sand in an hourglass?
The smartest thing I've ever learned is that I don't have all the answers,
just a little light to call my own.
Though it pales in comparison to the overarching shadows,
a speck of light can reignite the sun and swallow darkness whole.
Death is a cold, blindfolded kiss.
It is the finger pressed upon our lips.
It puts an unwanted emphasis on how we should have lived.
Life is a gorgeous, broken gift.
Six billion pieces waiting to be fixed.
Love letters that were never signed, sent to where we live.
But the sweetest thing I've ever heard is that I don't have to have the answers,
just a little light to call my own.
Though it pales in comparison to the overarching shadows,
a speck of light can reignite the sun and swallow darkness whole.

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.
I Can't Go To Sleep

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.
Blue

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Plastic Bag

“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.
"Death is promised to the bee/Who's sting protects the colony/Was its life worth nothing more/Than honey for the queen?"
This opening verse is a way of saying that death is guaranteed but also provides the mystery of whether the person's life (the bee) actually had an impact.
"Life is a branch and it is a dove/Handcrafted by confusing love"
These two lines make the statement that life is [or should be] peaceful (dove and olive branch=peace) but becomes complicated and almost misleading when love is implemented.
"We craved sweetness with a fear of heights/Was it all just a grain of sand in an hourglass?"
This line shows how daring people will be just for having the feeling of love or being cared for as well as implying the question if it's just a matter of time before that feeling fades
"Death is a cold, blindfolded kiss/It is the finger pressed upon our lips/It puts an unwanted emphasis/On how we should have lived"
These are the most powerful lines, in my opinion. It describes of death takes us in a cold, (upsetting) unknown (blindfolded) way. Along with that "It is the finger pressed upon our lips" states how we should go quietly, and in peace. Finally "It puts on unwanted emphasis on how we should have lived" is the time when we reflect on life but is most likely the time we don't want, for it is saddening and full of regret.
"Life is a gorgeous, broken gift/Six billion pieces waiting to be fixed"
This is two more powerful lines. It tells how life is a beautiful gift in millions of pieces and it is our job to put them together.
"Love letters that were never signed/Sent to where we live."
This is a small way of forming the realization that there's someone out there who is meant for us, and there are subtle hints around us that lead us toward that person. Typically the hints are left in activities that we do in our daily lives that someone else shares a common interest in.
