This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
When I found this my languaje in a way I began to speak
My soul was free on a gust of inspiration
She was soaring over the walls built with shame
Self doubt, and a midnight curfew
A form I had not yet seen engulfed me...
I was standing on the deck in the rain listening to jazz
Smoking a reefer cigarette and I swear
I swear I didn't think of you once
But I thought maybe
love is what you've been missing
Cause love is not what you've been giving
Maybe getting is all you've known till now
Or maybe you've forgotten how
he said "do you write for you or other people?"
I said "other people, I want them to see the beauty
That I can but just can not seem to touch,
Which is only a metaphor for all of us."
I said "I think I'm trying to capture a moment
I think my whole life I've been trying to capture
That moment.."
He said "one thing you can be sure of, is that you
Never will"
I thought maybe
love is what I've been missing,
Cause love is not what I've been giving
Maybe getting is all I've known till now
Or maybe I never even learned how
so I said "lets try and keep things out of the space
That divides." you said "tha cracks between where we lie"
And we lie around so much, we lie around, lie around
Lie around, we just lay around the truth. so much.
Until you are. getting, getting, getting,
Going. gone!
You are getting, getting, getting, going, gone.
You are for your love for your love
Cause I don't wanna wait today for you love. no.
I don't wanna wait today for you love.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
Amazing

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 can't believe no one has commented on this song yet! This must honestly be one of my top 5 songs of all time. I love the slight touch of jazz and holly miranda's voice is absolutely amazing. Have wanted to get High Above the City for so long but hasnt been able to get it anywhere!! Came on here to see if anyone had a clue what it was about .. guess I'll have to wait a lil longer.

I'd never paid attention to this song lyrics before, needless to say I adore them now. So much love for this band, and Holly Miranda <3
WOW! I just realized that the second verse in this song is the scene in "Nausea" by Sartre when Roquentin finally meets up with Anny. Obviously the girl's character is Anny and "he" is Roquentin. I might be spelling that wrong. I guess I don't know if the first verse applies to the book but second part without-a-doubt does. I didn't like that book and the reference is unfortunate:p Still a lovely song though:)
Oh, and if you haven't read the book, Roquentin is the main character and he is going through an existential crisis. Anny is a former lover whom he meets in a hotel room. She talks about how Roquentin asked commitment to "moments." Her whole life she has been trying to create some sort of perfect moment... acting through her life as opposed to living through it. Anny obviously is a stage actor though, and not a writer like the narrator of this song. Anny is not really an admirable character though, arguably. As previously stated, she goes through life assigning roles to people sometimes "out of their league," as though not valuing relationships and seeing people as merely her playthings. Though she does go through some sort of transformation, she is just as self-centered and patronizing as before. She "outlives" herself.
