once upon time
on the Internet there was a guy
a very deepy flawed man
they called him Eric Bauman
he was a total asshole
and nobody knows why

he traveled all around
on the pulse of each phenomenon
from Something Awful on to Fark
with his trusty watermark
he stole and stuck it all upon
Ebaumsworld.com

it wasn't fair
to those from whom he stole
but did he care?
no not one bit
and then he had the nads
to sell some ads
what a piece of shit
oh, Eric

Eric's quite a slut
other people's work has made him rich
he hired some male prostitutes
dressed them up three-piece suits
his faithful team of lawyers
made the Internet his bitch

'til Lowtax came along
punched him in the face and banged his mom
and Mr. Bauman, quite disgraced,
had his dumb website erased
well, sadly that's a lie,
there's still an Ebaumsworld.com

but if we all join hands
and sing this song
then our call will reach the sky
and maybe Zeus and Thor
will smite that whore
I think it's worth a try

Ebaumsworld is going down
we gotta rise up from the underground
and tell Eric Bauman a thing or two
bout how stealing simply isn't cool
so right now we're making that our mission
and if that bastard doesn't listen
we'll get sick of being lawful
and brand his ass with "SOMETHING AWFUL"

Holiday
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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Plastic Bag
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.
