This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
He told me, "I see you rise"
But, it always falls
I see you come, I see you go
He say, "All things pass into the night"
And I say, "Oh no sir I must say you're wrong
I must disagree, oh no sir, I must say you're wrong"
Won't you listen to me
He told me, I've seen it all before
I've been there, I've seen my hopes and dreams
A lying on the ground
I've seen the sky just begin to fall
He say, "All things pass into the night"
And I say, "Oh no sir, I must say you're wrong
I must disagree, oh no sir, I must say you're wrong"
Won't you listen to me
Goodbye horses I'm flying over you
Goodbye horses I'm flying over you
Goodbye horses I'm flying over you
Goodbye horses I'm flying, flying, flying, flying over you
But, it always falls
I see you come, I see you go
He say, "All things pass into the night"
And I say, "Oh no sir I must say you're wrong
I must disagree, oh no sir, I must say you're wrong"
Won't you listen to me
He told me, I've seen it all before
I've been there, I've seen my hopes and dreams
A lying on the ground
I've seen the sky just begin to fall
He say, "All things pass into the night"
And I say, "Oh no sir, I must say you're wrong
I must disagree, oh no sir, I must say you're wrong"
Won't you listen to me
Goodbye horses I'm flying over you
Goodbye horses I'm flying over you
Goodbye horses I'm flying over you
Goodbye horses I'm flying, flying, flying, flying over you

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.
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Still cannot believe that's a woman singing. It is TOO evocative of early-80s New Wave, albeit more maudlin, where guys sounded EXACTLY like that "her".
And, while I don't recall it from "Lambs", I heard it too often in GTA IV to not want to know what it is.
Nextly, it's definitely "FLying", not "lying" nor "dying". There's definitely a labio-dental fricative before than "L", and certainly no "plosive".
I reckon it's pretty clearly an argument about optimism and pessimism, or more precisely between hope and cynicism, which was an emergingly popular approach to life at the time of the song's authoring, quite possibly an argument over love.
The two verses are, well, all-but lyrically the same and for such a catchy song its lyrics really are simple, but apparently not straight-forward. Up to three people could be speaking: "I", "you" and "he", though it seems more-than-possible that "he" and "you" are the same person.
"You" said that they'd seen it rise but it always falls, whatever "it" is. Perhaps "it" is that which caused hopes and dreams to rise and fall. 'Cuz "you" had seen it all before, been there, seen their hopes and dreams lying on the ground. Since "you" is talking to "me", apparently "I" has had their hopes and dreams shattered.
We cannot be sure whether the fourth lines in each verse, "I've seen him come.." and "I've seen the sky..." are further quotes of "you" speaking, or "I" talking about "He". If it IS a continuation of "you"'s statements, which probably makes more sense,
"He" says only one thing: that all things pass into the night, that is, that all things end. And if "he" is "you", then "you/he" is saying that "it" that rises and falls, that causes dream shattering, must eventually die. "You" and "He" don't have to be the person that has broken "I"'s hopes and dreams, which is possibly their heart.
But, despite their pain, "I" refutes "you", that although they've had their hopes and dreams shattered, they disagree. If the chorus is a continuation of that theme, then flying over the horses is also a refute of dreams dying. So, horses represent... what shattered "I"'s dreams? Perhaps the horses are the same kind that Prince refers to in "Little Red Corvette", the stallions of love?
And if the whole thing is about love -- which seems a reasonable possibility, since what else shatters hopes and dreams to be the subject of so many songs? -- and the horses are like Prince's, then "I" is refuting "you/He"'s cynical wisdom about how love inevitably fails, and is instead saying "Nope, nothing is inevitable. I've just gotta be more careful, and avoid these stallions."
But, to be honest, that's a LOT of "if"s and "possibly"s. For all I know, toughguybambino is right and it's about "cynical" atheism versus "hopeful" spirituality, with "him" coming and going being faith, God, dreams-shattering proof of there being no God, and the horses representing the temporal, earthly, and "I" flying over them. With so few lyrics, anything is truly possible. :)
I might add a word of disagreement :-D with XSoulAsylumX, I do not think "you" is at all one "who seems to have had some bad things happen to turn him into a pessimist" at all. EVERYONE goes through sh!t that makes their "hopes and dreams a-lying on the ground". "You" has just responded with cynicism.
And remember, despite its bubble-gum pop look, it was, however, increasingly VERY popular in the 80s to respond with cynicism, culminating with the early-90s. Remember that Gothism, which is just sometimes-hopeful cynicism dressed in black, and Grunge evolved out of that era, and we've not lost either of them since then. No, "you" is just presenting a cynical approach to life, a "love always dies" approach. I don't think there's any reason to think they've been any worse-treated than "I" of the song.
