This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
It's ok, I'll do what I want
If I choose, I can take the fall
There's a choice
It's my destiny in my hands
Yeah it's up to me
I can drive
I can shoot a gun in the streets
Score me some heroin
I can jump
Be the sacrifice
Bear the cross just like Jesus Christ
And I don't wanna hear what love can do
No, I ain't gonna tell ya what's right for you
Is it right to take the easy way
Close your eyes
Get on your knees and pray
Now you're saved by a higher voice
Givin' up, givin' up, givin' up your choice
If I'm wrong then I'll pay for it
If I'm right, yeah you're gonna hear about it
But I've tried, yeah I've tried for it
I'll try, I'll try, 'til I'm satisfied
And I
I'm tired of hearing what love can do
And I
Ain't gonna tell you what's right for you
I've seen the damage done
Down with the shotgun
Don't stop the setting sun on my kingdom come
Oh
Is it right to take the easy way
I don't know
I get on your knees and pray
Now I'm saved by a higher voice
Givin' up, givin' up, givin' up my choice
If I'm wrong, hey, then I'll pay for it
If I'm right, yeah you're gonna deal with it
'Cause I've tried, yeah I tried for it
I'll try, and I'll cry, even die for it
No I
Don't wanna hear what love can do
No I
I can't tell you what's right for you
Oh I, I, I
Tell you what love can do
No I, I, I
Can't say when your time is through
I'll see the damage done
Oh Lord, I've heard the shotgun
I fought the setting sun on my kingdom come
Oh
Don't tell me what love can do, uh
Hey, hey, hey
Uh
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Don't tell me what love can do

Be the sacrifice
Bear the cross just like Jesus Christ

@[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 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.

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.
I have been so disillusioned about the idea of a true love since this time last year...and this song just seems to fit my views. Love maybe an ultimate thing, but its a two-edged sword...especially if one person in the romance is more invested than the other...I have been there, this time last year...I was all in, but she was acting free, so after being off and on for 6 months...I finally said screw it...this ain't working.
