This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I had forgiven you for tricking me again
But I have been tricked again,
Into forgiving you,
What is this? Are you some kind of hypnotist?
Waving your powers around - the sun eclipse behind the cloud
I thought I recognized your face
Amongst all of those strangers,
But I am the stranger now
Amongst all of the recognized
What is this, are you some kind of hypnotist?
Waving your powers around, the sun eclipse behind the cloud
But I have been tricked again,
Into forgiving you,
What is this? Are you some kind of hypnotist?
Waving your powers around - the sun eclipse behind the cloud
I thought I recognized your face
Amongst all of those strangers,
But I am the stranger now
Amongst all of the recognized
What is this, are you some kind of hypnotist?
Waving your powers around, the sun eclipse behind the cloud

@[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.
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.
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.
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.
Awesome song. I love the way it shows the confusion and overwhelming feeling of giving yourself completely away to someone who will probably use you. I'm not really sure if that's what was intended by the artist, but that's sure what I got from it-- especially in the last stanza (i know that term's only approprate for poems, but..), where he realizes that really, his feelings of belonging were totally out of place. He saw her, thought he knew her (which, I believe, is a huge part of love.. maybe that's only my experience though), but now he realizes that really, everyone around him is together and he is the outsider.
I think the most beautiful part about the song is the way he poses his question, though. "Are you some kind of hypnotist?" He still thinks she's amazing (consider what comes to mind when you think of hypnotism), but he just can't believe what "her powers" have made him do. And at the beginning of the song, he tells us that she keeps "tricking" him-- that even once he feels himself finally loose of her spell, he is immediately caught right back up into the rush.
I love songs about love that never actually use the word.
good song, im always drugged when listening to this
This song is one of those that you have to play very loudly... and dance to. Or at least wave your arms in the air.
Definately a great song from a great album.
i can see an incredible video being made for this song, i can't explain it but they could make something incredibly trippy i'm sure...
not as if the song's disorienting enough. sounds the way love at first sight feels...
wow, i cant believe how lil posts this song has goten, it is AMAZNING, to me its pink floyd all over again
its about loving someone who manipulates and uses you
yes indeed. loving someone who manipulates and uses you. sucks. but for some reason you keep going back.
To ripelivejam:
Actually there is a video for this song. And yeah, it's real friggin trippy. It might give you a seizure with all the rapidly flashing colors.
I love the wordplay. I'm going to have to agree it's about letting someone trick you again and again, but still you let them trick you and you wonder if the person has magical powers because you just can't seem to catch onto their trickery.
you loved someone, they used you,and went away. Despite that, you still want them back, but they don't need you anymore. Good times...the song feels a lot better
So I decided to get super-duper high and watch the DVD that comes with the album. When it got to this song, the 5.1 mixed music and the flashing lights are designed to put one into a trance, and it feels like you can't control your own body.
"What is this, are you some kind of hypnotist," yeah has the one lyrical meaning, but when you experience the music the way they intended, it becomes your own lyric to Wayne Coyne.
Try it.
