Ayheee

Dave Matthews Band

ayheee yeah
I'm a liar
ahyee ah yeah ha
come on now

Praise god who has many names
but the devil has many more
with the love that my mother gave me
I'm gonna drop the devil to the floor
I'm gonna drop the devil to his knees
I'm gonna drop the devil to his knees

Sometimes I wish that my people were comin'
I'd love myself, I'd find me some cover
Rain in the top the top leave me covered
It's something it's just what you crave, you know it!

ayheee yeah
I'm a liar
ahyee ah yeah
come on now

Walkin' along in this craze of confusion
Sometimes I can look
but sometimes you doubt all my steps
it's the weight that's above the shoulders
now come on, I will, come, I will, come I will
so I came

ayheee yeah
I'm a liar
ahyee ah yeah ha
come on now.

Brother, Sister
Brother, Sister

Praise god who has many names
But the devil has many more
And with the love that my mother gave me
I'm gonna drop the devil to the floor
I'm gonna drop the devil to his knees
I'm gonna drop the devil to his knees

I've seen evolution, my people have come to believe
that we are the traitors, the cheaters
We pray with this a collection of cells
We parade with ourselves

ayheee yeah
I'm a liar
ahyee ah yeah ha
come on now.

Drop the devil to his knees
Drop the devil to his knees

ayheee yeah
I'm a liar
ahyee ah yeah ha
come on now.

Somebody gonna save the world... ayhee yeah...

ayheee yeah
I'm a liar
ahyee ah yeah ha
come on now.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
