This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
That burning feeling.
Red liquids.
Clear liquids.
Blessed are the sick.
Children shiver in the river.
Where is our god now?
Does he watch over all in El Segundo?
He don't lie when he say,
"Under."
I'm wasting away.
I find time to pine.
When pining away my time.
Within sin
With no redemption
We will find our souls
And the shells they're kept in
All wasted away.
Blessed are the sick in me.
The prey, the thrill, the chill and we
Are martyrs that crumble on time.
Predestination.
We'll stop upon dimes.
And he'd constructed us all in El Segundo,
As the shivering children pray.
Demons in
Demons out.
Cry for dawn.
Gratis.
Bored.
I'm the matador of the children's ward.
Beggars wed choosers.
Red sheets.
Bed sheets.
Boozers.
I'm the head fan.
Blessed be my bed pan.
It's a cold, having just been mugged feeling.
In the sun
I've got this for you
It's under my finger nails.
I brought this for you.
It's typically Sunday.
I'm digging a hole.
Red liquids.
Clear liquids.
Blessed are the sick.
Children shiver in the river.
Where is our god now?
Does he watch over all in El Segundo?
He don't lie when he say,
"Under."
I'm wasting away.
I find time to pine.
When pining away my time.
Within sin
With no redemption
We will find our souls
And the shells they're kept in
All wasted away.
Blessed are the sick in me.
The prey, the thrill, the chill and we
Are martyrs that crumble on time.
Predestination.
We'll stop upon dimes.
And he'd constructed us all in El Segundo,
As the shivering children pray.
Demons in
Demons out.
Cry for dawn.

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.

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,

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.

“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.
i have NEVER felt so much power and emotion from a song. gave me fucking CHILLLLS, man. oh my God. the only thing i have to say about the lyrics is the end [my favorite part]: "All wasted away. I'm digging a hole. This is what it's like to be alone." its actually "I'm digging a hole. I'll shut out the world. [insert line i dont know but really want to find out]. This is what it's like to be alone, this is what it's like to be alone."
^anyone know that line ?
Daryl ? thank you. and i'm sorry for the both of us.
ah found it.<br /> "I'm digging a hole. I'll shut out the world. No--I'm on top, I'm feeling done with this. This is what it's like to be alone, this is what it's like to be alone."<br /> boom.<br /> Jesus.
I have Ulcerative Colitis - which is the sister disease to Crohn's. I had to have my entire large intestine removed after 33 days in the hospital. This disease came out of no where to me and my boyfriend of two years left me during it. This song really hit home because there aren't many people who understand what it is like to poop bloody diarrhea and not being able to make it to the bathroom - it isn't your typical first date topic, yet it is such a huge part of who we are. While it doesn't define us, it does have an affect on our lives. I feel for ya Daryl. I wonder "Why" sometimes too.
Daryl says: "It's basically about the sickness I have to deal with, and it's about the first two years I spent being diagnosed with it. It's just about how I dealt with it and also the lack of compassion I got from a certain woman during that period of my life. That was the period where she had grown outta me and I needed her most ya know? When I was down on my knees hoping not to die, dealing with sickness and all these big changes in my life that if you knew me you would have been there for me but... She knew me damn well and she whored herself around rather than being there for me during that point in my life. It's also about dealing with being completely alone. Being a kid who just got outta high school and not having any answers and not having anyone to give me the right answers about being sick and feeling alone. It's the most important thing I ever wrote in my whole life as far as music and lyrics are concerned."
Great song about the time he used to spend in hospitals alone.....even tho i cant relate to that i can relate to times when u are alone and everything seems 10X worse than it is....tho its nothing compared to what it must have been like for him!
i'm pretty sure this song is what got me through high school.
Such a good song. I love the "children shiver in the river" line, just cause it always makes me think of Mu Empire.
Haha, fuck. I meant to post this on Mu Empire, and say that I liked the line cause it reminded me of this song. Should probably not post at 2/3 AM anymore.<br /> <br /> Nonetheless this is hands down the best GJ song, the ending still gives me chills everytime.<br /> <br /> Sorry for the stupid comment, hah
i think this is the best song i have ever heard by glassjaw. the emotion that daryl puts into the end of it is amazing and i can almost feel the pain that he went through. i wish i could write a song like this.
Sean Huey
this song is pretty dope.....
yea g this shiznat is off da hook yo. wtf?
Favorite song on the album. Highly emotional song. If you know what Daryl had to go through with his disease, and listen ot this song and every word he sings, there is no doubt that you will at least get a tear in your eye. True music at it's best, pulling the emotion out of it's listner, no one likes to be alone, and if you are listen to this song. I'm sure you can find a way to relate. Daryl is the man.
