This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
A broad incision sits across the evening
The victim to our fathers lost war
The restless children sit and mourn the graves
Of those they've never seen before
Will they be buried here among the dead?
In the silent secret
The pioneers
In dealing with it they march for dawn
Of Will and worthy
The truth be told the child was born
Man your own jackhammer
Man your battle stations
We'll have you dead pretty soon and now
Sincerely written from my brother's blood machine
Man your battle stations
We'll have you home pretty soon and now
Awake through motion with curios to curtain your first move
Over arm's length they'll break protocol
Jealous envy for the youngest one
To be the hero is all I'll ask
Can I be buried here among the dead?
With room to honor me here in the end
You'll be better off too soon
You'll be better off when you get home
The pioneers
In dealing with it they'll march for dawn
For Will and worthy
The truth be told, the child was born
Man your own jackhammer
Man your battle stations
We'll have you dead pretty soon and now
Sincerely written from my brother's blood machine
Man your battle stations
We'll have you home pretty soon and now
For you, I'd do anything
Just to make you happy
Hear you tell me that you're proud of me
For them, I'll kill anything
Cut the throats of babies for them
Break their hearts for they were them
Waiting for you to say
"I love you too"
The navigator, the pilot
Her favorite
The one they call the vision that bears the gift
The navigator, the pilot
Her favorite
The one they call the vision that bears the gift
Will, do the children really understand
The things you did to them?
And why, oh, why?
Should they conjure up the will?
For you, my love, I would kill him
We're coming home pretty soon
We're coming home
In the seventh turning hour
Will the victims shadow fall?
Should the irony grow hungry
With the victory and all they sought for
We were one among the Fence
One among the Fence
We're coming home
Man your own jackhammer
Man your battle stations
We'll have you dead pretty soon and now
Sincerely written from my brother's blood machine
Man your battle stations
We'll have you home pretty soon tonight
The victim to our fathers lost war
The restless children sit and mourn the graves
Of those they've never seen before
Will they be buried here among the dead?
In the silent secret
The pioneers
In dealing with it they march for dawn
Of Will and worthy
The truth be told the child was born
Man your own jackhammer
Man your battle stations
We'll have you dead pretty soon and now
Sincerely written from my brother's blood machine
Man your battle stations
We'll have you home pretty soon and now
Awake through motion with curios to curtain your first move
Over arm's length they'll break protocol
Jealous envy for the youngest one
To be the hero is all I'll ask
Can I be buried here among the dead?
With room to honor me here in the end
You'll be better off too soon
You'll be better off when you get home
The pioneers
In dealing with it they'll march for dawn
For Will and worthy
The truth be told, the child was born
Man your own jackhammer
Man your battle stations
We'll have you dead pretty soon and now
Sincerely written from my brother's blood machine
Man your battle stations
We'll have you home pretty soon and now
For you, I'd do anything
Just to make you happy
Hear you tell me that you're proud of me
For them, I'll kill anything
Cut the throats of babies for them
Break their hearts for they were them
Waiting for you to say
"I love you too"
The navigator, the pilot

The one they call the vision that bears the gift
The navigator, the pilot

The one they call the vision that bears the gift

Sincerely written from my brother's blood machine
Man your battle stations
We'll have you home pretty soon tonight

@[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.

Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Mmmkay, I think I actually know what's going on here...
This song is done from two different perspectives: Jesse, The Inferno, and Sizer, his IRO-bot son. This song is basically Jesse preparing for battle against Wilhem Ryan's righthand man and war guy (for lack of a better term) Mayo Deftinwolf. Jesse and his 4 IRO-bot children, known as the pioneers, are getting ready for the battle and are using weapons known as jackhammers, which Jesse created. The children are Sizer, "...her favorite...", Chase, "...the one they call the vision who bares the gift..." She has the mind of a 20 year-old woman, but is trapped in the body of a 4 year-old girl. She is the only character who can comminucate with the writer. She is also the strongest of all of the pioneers. The other children are Michael, "...the pilot..." named after Michael Todd of the band, and Travis, "...the navigator..." named after Travis Stever of the band.
So, now with all these knowledge, Chase is clearly Jesse's favorite, being the strongest fighter and the least likely to be suspected, due to her weak and innocent appearance. Sizer, however, being a deformed IRO-bot, is extremely jealous of Chase's relationship with Jesse, "...Jealous envy for the youngest one To be the hero is all I'll ask Can I be buried here among the dead? With room to honor me here in the end You'll be better off too soon You'll be better off when you get home..." All he wants is to be loved and respected by his father. After 7 hours of preparing, the Red Army is finally approaching in the distant, and the battle will soon begin...!
A good description of the best song ever, I feel.
