This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I've got your picture in the palm of my hand
And I'm squeezin' it I'm teasin' it
I'd follow you to the edge of this land
But I'm losin' it, confusin' it
This is a man who has lost control
Lost the road to a higher soul
Stop me from fallin' you know I need you
To lift me up
Won't you lift me up yeah
Won't you take me to a place that I once knew
And when you can see
You've always been there for me
I'm waiting for your love
There'll be a time when all our rhythms of love
Are shakin' it we're makin' it
There'll be a place where life is livin' to give
This harmony it will come to me
And when I think of those who love you now
If I had my chances again somehow
Stop me from fallin' you know I need you
To lift me up
Won't you lift me up yeah
Won't you take me to a place that I once knew
And when you can see
Another side of me
I'm waiting for you
I'm not eating I'm not sleeping this tension this worry
You don't call you don't write me
I need your love in a hurry
Teach me, Reach me, Meet me, Beat me,
Tease me, Please me,
Come and seize me
This is a man who has lost control
Lost the road to a higher soul
Catch me from fallin' you know I need you
To lift me up
Won't you lift me up yeah
Won't you take me to a place that I once knew
And when you can see
You've always been there for me
I'm waiting for your love
And when you can see
The changes I've made in me
Well I'm waitin' for, you know I'm waitin' for your love
And I'm squeezin' it I'm teasin' it
I'd follow you to the edge of this land
But I'm losin' it, confusin' it
This is a man who has lost control
Lost the road to a higher soul
Stop me from fallin' you know I need you
To lift me up
Won't you lift me up yeah
Won't you take me to a place that I once knew
And when you can see
You've always been there for me
I'm waiting for your love
There'll be a time when all our rhythms of love
Are shakin' it we're makin' it
There'll be a place where life is livin' to give
This harmony it will come to me
And when I think of those who love you now
If I had my chances again somehow
Stop me from fallin' you know I need you
To lift me up
Won't you lift me up yeah
Won't you take me to a place that I once knew

Well I'm waitin' for, you know I'm waitin' for your love

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.
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.

“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.

Plastic Bag

“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
