This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Time is my friend
Till it ain't, and runs out
And that is all
That I have, till it's gone
Try to build a home, bones of birds
Singing in the cold and fall to earth
Hey sometimes she won't cry
When the smallest one is trapped
Too weak to survive
Probably maybe
Tried to look out
Through a hole, in the vague
Circling above
Looking down, bird of prey
Try to build a home, bones of birds
Singing in the cold and fall to earth
Hey sometimes she won't cry
When the smallest one is trapped
Too weak to survive
Too weak to survive
Too weak to survive
Probably maybe
Try to build a home, bones of birds
Singing in the cold and fall to earth
Hey sometimes she won't cry
When the smallest one is trapped
Too weak to survive Probably
Hey sometimes she won't cry
When the smallest one is trapped
Too weak to survive
Too weak to survive
Too weak to survive
Maybe
Till it ain't, and runs out
And that is all
That I have, till it's gone
Try to build a home, bones of birds
Singing in the cold and fall to earth
Hey sometimes she won't cry
When the smallest one is trapped
Too weak to survive
Probably maybe
Tried to look out
Through a hole, in the vague
Circling above
Looking down, bird of prey
Try to build a home, bones of birds
Singing in the cold and fall to earth
Hey sometimes she won't cry
When the smallest one is trapped
Too weak to survive
Too weak to survive
Too weak to survive
Probably maybe
Try to build a home, bones of birds
Singing in the cold and fall to earth
Hey sometimes she won't cry
When the smallest one is trapped
Too weak to survive Probably
Hey sometimes she won't cry
When the smallest one is trapped
Too weak to survive
Too weak to survive
Too weak to survive
Maybe

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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
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.
The song is vague because it captures a feeling and the feeling is that of a loss of control while you watch your children grow up. You only get a glimpse of their innocence through a hole in a bag. Sometime she won't cry when the smallest one is down says to me that the children are naive and don't protect each other. Someday that nativity will end, probably, maybe...... in the meantime, you try to build them, build a home, but they are fragile, like the bones of birds, which are filled with air and break so easily. The overall feeling is one of wanting to protect something that is so fragile but in the end you must let them fly.
