This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
your god is a homeless assassin
who roams the world to save
he's digging for buried treasures
he's leaving nothing but fields of graves
the tears will fly like birds of vengeance
the sky will bury us all
the church bells will sound like sirens shrieking
the hole will be dug for the fall
through the smoke its now getting clearer
who led us into the burning theater
in through the rain of bodies and ashes
and into the courtrooms of pitched blackness
into the secret firing lines
into the barbed wire dug in around our minds
the tears will fly like birds of vengeance
the sky will bury us all
the church bells will sound like sirens shrieking
the hole will be dug for the fall
your god is dying much younger than Rome
he's killed so many he can't go home
your god's heart is a tumor now rotten
born of a blood that's never forgotten
and this is my last letter to you
i'm walking the belt way and there's
something i've got to do
who roams the world to save
he's digging for buried treasures
he's leaving nothing but fields of graves
the tears will fly like birds of vengeance
the sky will bury us all
the church bells will sound like sirens shrieking
the hole will be dug for the fall
through the smoke its now getting clearer
who led us into the burning theater
in through the rain of bodies and ashes
and into the courtrooms of pitched blackness
into the secret firing lines
into the barbed wire dug in around our minds
the tears will fly like birds of vengeance
the sky will bury us all
the church bells will sound like sirens shrieking
the hole will be dug for the fall
your god is dying much younger than Rome
he's killed so many he can't go home
your god's heart is a tumor now rotten
born of a blood that's never forgotten
and this is my last letter to you
i'm walking the belt way and there's
something i've got to do

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.
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
"your god" = America "homeless assassin" = 'homeless' here being a reference to America not needing a base as every new country it liberates acts its new home - taking a leaf from the 'wherever I lay my hat, that's my home' book. "who roams the world to save" = under the guise of saving when in fact... "he's digging for buried treasures" = oil "he's leaving nothing but fields of graves" = war
"the tears will fly like birds of vengeance" = tears of the wronged will turn into revenge "the sky will bury us all" = the sky will be crowded with "birds of vengeance" These lines read like a morbid prophecy of the 'reap what you sow' type. One often levelled at the Bush administration's percieved callous warmongering. The song was probably written during Bush's reign.
"the church bells will sound like sirens shrieking" = church bells are/were often used in many wars as a makeshift bomb siren in Christian countries (in WW2-era England for example). In this instance it is America's church bells tolling at the onset of the "birds of vengeance". Also note the tone of De La Rocha's lyricism is stepped up - the usual verb used in conjunction with siren is 'wailing', whereas here he opts for the more vitriolic "shrieking".
"the hole will be dug for the fall" = a mass grave? I take fall to be in the physical sense as opposed to what Americans call Autumn. "through the smoke its now getting clearer" = the smoke of battle "who led us into the burning theater" = the 'theatre' of war "in through the rain of bodies and ashes" = again things coming from the sky, this time bodies and ashes, reminds me of Lamb of God's similarly politically-toned album 'Ashes of the Wake' "and into the courtrooms of pitched blackness into the secret firing lines" = "courtrooms of..." evokes the recent Blackwater cases but this perhaps wasn't around when Zac wrote this. Possibly more of a general reference to the injustice of war and then the following line to the clandestine nature of some aspects of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. "into the barbed wire dug in around our minds" = the military references suddenly become personal metaphor for restricted thinking.
"your god is dying much younger than Rome" = comparison to the Roman Empire, similar to references expressed in Rage's 2nd studio album Evil Empire, referring to America as an empire. "he's killed so many he can't go home" = to go home after battle usually a glorious thing, here switched and remeniscent of the opening "homeless assassin" line. "your god's heart is a tumor now rotten" = reminds me of the line in Bulls On Parade "Tha rotten sore on the face of mother earth gets bigger", again referring to uncle sam. "born of a blood that's never forgotten" = native Americans
Ok that's my interpretation of the author's lyricism.
I love the intro to this song on the drums, Jon Theodore is quite the talented player indeed. Very catchy
openmike: I think you're pretty spot on on most points. I don't know about the last one, it sounds wrong.
Also, "burning theatre" could be a reference to a common metaphor for mass group panic overruling rational thought: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shouting_fire_in_a_crowded_theater
"This is my last letter to you...I'm walking the beltway...there's something I've got to do"
Obviously a reference to the Beltway Sniper John Allen Mohammed.
I think this song is about the end of the world and hell for all the freemasons in our government who create wars.
