This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Walk down the realm
Hint to no one that this
Generic bond exists
Evil shows another side
And like before, makes no sense
Never coming, always leaving
Right before
Hooked on substance,
Digging deeper
Can't reveal
Why we leave
Well enough alone
Never thought about the shame
So fed up,
What's with the scenes?
Observe and leave instead
This pity wagon
Penetrates my skin
So sensitive, it makes me sick
And like before, makes no sense
Never coming, always leaving
Right before
Hooked on substance,
Digging deeper
Can't reveal
Why we leave
Well enough alone
Never thought about the shame
The old and the aged
Pulled and never knew what hit
The old and the aged
Pulled and never knew
And like before, makes no sense
Never coming, always leaving
Right before
Hooked on substance,
Digging deeper
Can't reveal
Why we leave
Well enough alone
Never thought about the shame
Why we leave
Well enough alone
Never thought about the shame
When you leave
When you leave
Hint to no one that this
Generic bond exists
Evil shows another side
And like before, makes no sense
Never coming, always leaving
Right before
Hooked on substance,
Digging deeper
Can't reveal
Why we leave
Well enough alone
Never thought about the shame
So fed up,
What's with the scenes?
Observe and leave instead
This pity wagon
Penetrates my skin
So sensitive, it makes me sick
And like before, makes no sense
Never coming, always leaving
Right before
Hooked on substance,
Digging deeper
Can't reveal
Why we leave
Well enough alone
Never thought about the shame
The old and the aged
Pulled and never knew what hit
The old and the aged
Pulled and never knew
And like before, makes no sense
Never coming, always leaving
Right before
Hooked on substance,
Digging deeper
Can't reveal
Why we leave
Well enough alone
Never thought about the shame
Why we leave
Well enough alone
Never thought about the shame
When you leave
When you leave

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
This song is about (Like everyone says, just clarifying) an alcohol addiction, not drugs. He is talking about a friend he lost to alcohol in the late 90's.
"Hooked on Substance, Digging Deeper, Can't Reveal" speaks about (of course) the addict being drawn in by alcohol, and unable to see the disaster behind it.
"So fed up, What's with the scenes?" Talks about his mind frame and his denial. His refusal to react when something bad happens.
"Penetrates my skin, so sensitive, makes me sick" speaks about when he finally realizes what is happening to his friend.
"The old and the aged, pulled and never knew what hit" speaks about those who have already had their share of alcohol and disasters.
My favorite part, and I'm sure yours too. The echoing voices sequence is representing the final disaster striking, going crazy, beating your friends or family or even killing them, becoming angry, finally losing it, or even death.
Clear as day. Best song by Chevelle.
Where's the proof that it was written 5 years ago?
One of a number of great songs referencing Joe leaving the band.
Ok people are saying this song is about alcohol abuse. When I heard it I interpreted it in a very straight forward way
Wouldn't it be great if I could interpret the song in the first comment?! Well I can't see anything obvious standing out at the minute, apart from the fact that it ROCKS! It's definately quite a dark song, reminds me of feeling alone at night, nightmares and such... Someone help!
I LOVE THIS SONG. THANK GOD IT FINALLY CAME. i needed a new chevelle song so bad. I think its about the state the world is in right now. maybe. idk, thats just what comes to mind.
This song is Great, cant wait for the cd. I'm not really sure what it means. This song is 5 years old though, so it might be the feeling of loneness after something special or a one night type of thing between lovers..
This song is about when Joe Loeffler (bassist) left the band, and since the trio were brothers, they were not only singing about a band member, they were talking about their brother. Although he decided to quit, they are not mad, but this is more of a warning for Joe's saftey.
I don't think the song is about Joe Loeffler, as the song was actually written about five years ago, as someone else mentioned.
Go To Chevelleinc.com then click the band, Its in there somewhere. They said it once was 6 minutes and something, now its 4 something minutes long.
