This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
He spends his nights in California
Watching the stars on the big screen
And then he lies awake and he wonders
Why can't that be me?
'Cause in his life he is filled
With all these good intentions
He's left a lot of things
He'd rather not mention right now
Just before he says goodnight
He looks up with a little smile at me
And he says
If I could be like that
Well I would give anything
Just to live one day in
In those shoes
If I could be like that
What would I do?
What would I do?
Now in dreams we run
She spends her days up in the north park
Watching the people as they pass
And all she wants is just a little piece of this dreams
Is that too much to ask?
With a safe home and a warm bed
On a quiet little street
All she wants is just that something to hold on to
That's all she needs
Yeah, if I could be like that
Well I would give anything
Just to live one day in
In those shoes
If I could be like that
What would I do?
What would I do? Yeah yeah yeh oh oh
I'm falling into this
In dreams we run away
If I could be like that
Well I would give anything
Just to live one day
In those shoes
If I could be like that
What would I do?
What would I do?
If I could be like that
I would give anything
Just to live one day
In those shoes
If I could be like that
What would I do?
What would I do?
If I could be like that
I would give anything
Just to live one day
In those shoes
If I could be like that?
What would I do?
Lord what would I do? Yeah yeah
Falling in
I feel I am falling in
To this again
Watching the stars on the big screen
And then he lies awake and he wonders
Why can't that be me?
'Cause in his life he is filled
With all these good intentions
He's left a lot of things
He'd rather not mention right now
Just before he says goodnight
He looks up with a little smile at me
And he says

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
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.

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.
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 that this song is about wanting to be someone else or something more than you are. Maybe your situation isn't what you want it to be or you've done some things that you aren't proud of and you're hoping to be something more or be better than what you are right now.
