My stars
So far
No one's callin' me home
Space brain
Vagabond
Living on my own

Come on you faithful
You know all you people should come to me
I'll make you arms work
And I'll make your legs work
I'll make you see
Ladada dadada dadada dadada da da
Whoa, yeah

Well I swear by the air
I'll be made to breathe
You'll pay very dear for this banishing deed
The power alone stored in my little hand
Could melt the Eiffel Tower
Turn the Sphinx into sand

Oh no
Thar she blows
Spreadin' crazy news
All night
Cannonball
Loves to light the fuse

And everyone blows up
And nobody grows up to fill Dad's shoes
But that doesn't matter
'cause no little boys really wanted to

Ladada dadada dadada dadada da da
Whoa, yeah

I stared at the squall line
I stared at the fault line
I see a funnel black there
I think I see a crack there
Landscapes alive
And it's moving my feet
All I need's a Holocaust
To make my day complete

    Alice Cooper's hits were good songs. I think that this song, "My Stars", should almost be a hit.

    I mean the band did nothing wrong at all with their performance of this song, so does anyone else think this?

    I think that almost every song of of School's Out should have been a hit. Personally I think that Gutter Cat was better though.

    My Interpretation

    This is a tough one to decipher...definitely apocalyptic end of the world themes going on..."come on you faithful, you know all you people should come to me" - not the Almighty loving God I am acquainted with, sounds more like the used car salesman with that hint of desperation pleading with the masses to fall in line - maybe a reference to the AntiChrist...and maybe the only solution is to blast off from the brutal planet in a rocketship - the final verse being the Robot's speech from The Day the Earth Stood Still...

    My Opinion

    I did not see anything apocalyptical about this song. To me, it is a pretty simple story when the lyrics are taken into consideration as a whole. I believe the reference to "come all you faithful...." is a reference to his preacher father. As a whole, it appears that the subject of this song was banished "banishing deed" for being what he was (rock star) due to the judgement of his father who was a preacher. You see the words "space brain" and "vagabond" which seem to refer to his parents (possibly) passing judgement on him which resulted in him having to leave home. "Thar she blows" could be a reference to his mother who is "spreading crazy news". I always wondered if this song is auto-biographical or semi-auto-biographical. Guess only Alice would know!

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
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.

Page
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.
