This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Born, a human life into this world
Dead, the sad result from disease
A century of sacrifice is lost in greed
In a time of massive wealth, where not one sees
Chemical children are raised in the streets
Their whoring mothers begging beside
In prisons the riots are breeding resistance
The starving all seek to be fed
A shit-city built on the backs of the poor
where the real world is buried beneath
While tourists and business, partners in greed
devour the fruit of the land
Starving and dying, assassins surround to kill them
Praying for something or someone to set them free
Life in Babylon, post-A.D
defined in terms of what can you do for me
The world outside is full of rot
so walls divide the burn of acid air, and black-cloud skies
Death squads are crawling the city
in search of the worthless to fill up mass graves
Corrupted and careless, degrading all life
these cops are the killers, well-trained
Millions of people stand dead at their feet
begging for mercy denied
Breathing pollution and slaving to eat
they're humans, but empty inside
Starving and dying, assassins surround to kill them
Praying for something or someone to set them free
Rise, out of the slums, they seek to fight, fight to defend
Nothing is left but a future of death
Awaiting the poor, who starve just to breathe
Breathe in the air, now they shall be reborn
How can you think that our world is so good
The red, white and blue blinds your eyes
When everything's fine in your white neighborhood
who cares for the dying outside
Forced to rebellion, uprising
they're tearing through the walls of confinement, uprooted
The promise of a third world resistance
the power is overtaken
Nightfall in Sodom, it's burning
It's time to bring it down
Now the time has come at last
to give back what they demand
Just a chance for life, and peace far away
from famine and disease
Power has changed across the world now
It's just the money that rules in Sodom today
And the bastards that run the corporate plan
will be choking on their blood when the masses make them pay

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.
Gentle Hour

Yo La Tengo
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,
Magical

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.
American Town

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I havent actually ever heard this bands music, but I've heard there pretty good. Looks like they have lyrical talent as well.
