This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
He'll come flying out of this town
A resignation superman
And today the bad guys win
'Cause he turned his cape in
Now, he says
And I'll turn my back on this world
Yes, I'll turn my eyes from this world
Oh well ...
Yes, he's tired of fighting in this town
All the suffering and vice
He wants to fall in love
Maybe settle in and live a life
And I'll turn my back on this world
Yes, I'll turn my eyes form this world
Oh I want to believe in you now that I'm suffering
Oh lord, I need to receive your hand in my heart
And he keeps an eye upon this town
The resignation superman
He'll keep himself amused
With the evening news
Oh my ...
And I'll turn my back on this world
Yes, I'll turn my eyes from this world
Now I broke my back on this world
Now I'll wash my hands of this world
Oh I want to believe in you now that I'm suffering
Oh lord, I need to receive your hand in my heart
A resignation superman
And today the bad guys win
'Cause he turned his cape in
Now, he says
And I'll turn my back on this world
Yes, I'll turn my eyes from this world
Oh well ...
Yes, he's tired of fighting in this town
All the suffering and vice
He wants to fall in love
Maybe settle in and live a life
And I'll turn my back on this world
Yes, I'll turn my eyes form this world
Oh I want to believe in you now that I'm suffering
Oh lord, I need to receive your hand in my heart
And he keeps an eye upon this town
The resignation superman
He'll keep himself amused
With the evening news
Oh my ...
And I'll turn my back on this world
Yes, I'll turn my eyes from this world
Now I broke my back on this world
Now I'll wash my hands of this world
Oh I want to believe in you now that I'm suffering
Oh lord, I need to receive your hand in my heart

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.
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
This song is about his hero. His hero is gone, and I can't believe that Superman would give up fighting crime just to sit at home and chill with a lady. Can u blame him though?
It seems to me that this song is about religion and how people use it conveniently. Now that "Superman"/God is gone and turned his back on the world, because he has "broke his back on this world" and dealt with "suffering and vice" and has grown tired. The way the chorus is sung "Oh Lord..." is almost like a cry or prayer. He is gone, they're suffering and now people want to believe in him. But was there as much faith while he was there?
i almost thought it was more, maybe about christopher reeve-Superman,broke my back on this world, resignation=paralysis and the God stuff was his and our collective faith-perhaps a duality, that might be way off but i had always connected the song with that tragedy b/c the time period was close
I take it literally. Superman is THE iconic figure of doing 'the right thing'. He ALWAYS finds a way, ALWAYS does the right thing. Even when the world turns against him, he is the comic book world of the 'perfect man' (i.e. Jesus in the comic book world). So, it is unthinkable to have such a character do it. That is why this song is enjoyable. To think that the world goes SO rotten, even an unbreakable man has his limits and just walks away. For those comic book people, "Kingdom Come" is about just that. He walks away from mankind due to mankind walking away from him. They turn in their ethics for what they believe the world to be. So, he turns his cape in. He walks away from them. He watches them on TV; seeing the world go to sht and says 'not my problem'. Both the song and the comic book are powerful.
