@[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.
Can you imagine that it's all up to you?
Evil embrace of powers unnatural
You're left in silence nothing more to behold
You close your eyes, and visualize an evil getaway
It's here, it's near
I see it all so clear
Tonight your flight will take you higher
It's here, it's near
You live a life of fear
Tonight's the night that will inspire
Crying alone at night your destiny unknown
Your every being full of rage and hate
Seems like you're running but you just can not hide
It's your raging fear of solitude that's left behind
It's here, it's near
I see it all so clear
Tonight your flight will take you higher
It's here, it's near
You live a life of fear
Tonight's the night that will inspire
Can he comfort thee
And fill your life with ecstasy
Through the darkness and the pain?
Will you be there once again
Disciples of Babylon?
Yeah, yeah
It's here, it's near
I see it all so clear
Tonight your flight will take you higher
It's here, it's near
You live a life of fear
Tonight's the night that will inspire
Can he comfort thee
Fill your life with ecstasy
Through the darkness and the pain?
Will you be there once again
Disciples of Babylon?
It's here, it's near
I see it all so clear
Tonight your flight will take you higher
It's here, it's near
You live a life of fear
Tonight's the night that will inspire

Fill your life with ecstasy
Through the darkness and the pain?
Will you be there once again

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.
I definitely agree with lolzors on this one. Im not sure about the meaning behind the title and line Disciples of Babylon, but Dragonforce is known for sometimes picking things that just sound cool and flow with the song, but given the history behind Babylon I doubt thats the case.
Something to note though, dont forget the story about the tower of Babel, where humans attempted to reach the realm of the gods, so it sort of goes along with the idea of it as a gateway to the gods as Audio said.
Btw, Pastafarianism FTW!!
