This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
And everything is going to the beat
And everything is going to the beat
And everything is going
And you said, it was like fire around the brim
Burning solid, burning thin the burning rim
Like stars burning holes right through the dark
Flicking fire like saltwater into my eyes
You were one inch from the edge of this bed
I dragged you back a sleepyhead, sleepyhead
They couldn't think of something to say the day you burst
With hungry lions, with all their might and all their thirst
They crowd your bedroom like some thoughts wearing thin
Against the walls, against your rules, against your skin
My beard grew down to the floor and out through the doors
Of your eyes, begonia skies like a sleepyhead, sleepyhead
And everything is going to the beat
And everything is going
And you said, it was like fire around the brim
Burning solid, burning thin the burning rim
Like stars burning holes right through the dark
Flicking fire like saltwater into my eyes
You were one inch from the edge of this bed
I dragged you back a sleepyhead, sleepyhead
They couldn't think of something to say the day you burst
With hungry lions, with all their might and all their thirst
They crowd your bedroom like some thoughts wearing thin
Against the walls, against your rules, against your skin
My beard grew down to the floor and out through the doors
Of your eyes, begonia skies like a sleepyhead, sleepyhead

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.
Holiday
Bee Gees
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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
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.
The title "Sleepyhead" appears to me a description of someone who appears, quite literally, very sleepy: this person is suffering from an injury or terminal illness. He/she enters a coma, and is kept on life support against their wishes.
The first verse concerning fire is, to me, the sufferer describing the pain of the affliction, which seems to have a manifestation in the eyes ("brims"). At one point, the sufferer was "one inch from the edge of this bed," i.e., very close to death, but the speaker drags him/her back into this world as "a sleepyhead"--in a coma.
"They couldn't think of something to say the day you burst" No one ever knows what to say when someone dies, especially when that death is untimely. Bursting may mean some kind of heart failure or other literal bursting.
"With all their lions and all their might and all their thirst" People who are fighting for the sufferer to be kept on life support, thirsting for the him/her to one day wake up, involve doctors, lawyers, and clergy to fight with their scientific, legal, and holy might against the disease, and against people (the speaker) who better knew the sufferer's true wishes.
"They crowd your bedroom like some thoughts wearing thin" Friends and family crowd the bedroom of the afflicted -- the person is still alive, being prayed for. You don't usually crowd in the room of someone who's already dead. It is at this point that the grim possibility that death really is here becomes apparent through the thin thoughts of denial.
"Against the walls, against your rules, against your skin" People are literally pressed against the walls of the room and against the skin of their comatose loved one. They are there against the sufferer's wishes (rules), because if the sufferer had had it their way, the plug would have already been pulled and these people wouldn't be here.
"My beard grew down to the floor and out through the doors of your eyes" The speaker stays loyal and by the sufferer's side. Again, the eyes make an appearance.
"But go in disguise like a sleepyhead" The sufferer peacefully transitions from their comatose state into death, never shedding their outward "disguise" of simply being asleep.
wow, now thqat i tink about it, ur prolly right
The last line of the song is 'of your eyes, begonia skies like a sleepyhead, sleepyhead'.<br /> <br /> I think you are spot on with it being about a coma though - I appeneded my comment to reflect that.
