This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
i need to see you step away from the edge
i've seen this coming and you're better off alone
why?
well it's safe to say
that you were the one without a plan
and you missed the point
you took the blood on my hands
why aren't you trying to escape
from the fires that i have made
i won't be the one who kills you
oh you will find the murderer is
you built the walls that kept you alone
i torn them down just to watch you rebuild
you built this house to hide from everything you fear
i nearly showed you how to tear the building down
why aren't you trying to escape
from the fires that i have made
this time will be a little different
this time i'll be the one that pulls you out
because i can hear you scream from far away
and you can be so much more than this
but the foundation is weak
and this time these walls will come down
why don't you save all the trouble and pull yourself out
and take some gas and a match and burn it to the ground
watch the flames throughout
watch all your fears fall like ashes all around
just don't forget that you're the one who brought it down
you did this on your own
all i did was show you how
with your head pounding harder than your heart
and you feel like you're stuck where you are
when your lungs fill with smoke
and you know that you're heading towards the dark
when it seems like this scene never ends
then atleast you can do is pretend
that the life you've been living
is leading you out of the dark
why aren't you trying to escape
from the fires that i have made
(now you can be free from everything)
that you fear that torn you apart
and i can hear you scream from far away
(i can say that i brought you here)
that i've done my day
so i can finally go to sleep
now you can be free
from every fear that you have
so i can finally go to sleep
i've seen this coming and you're better off alone
why?
well it's safe to say
that you were the one without a plan
and you missed the point
you took the blood on my hands
why aren't you trying to escape
from the fires that i have made
i won't be the one who kills you
oh you will find the murderer is
you built the walls that kept you alone
i torn them down just to watch you rebuild
you built this house to hide from everything you fear
i nearly showed you how to tear the building down
why aren't you trying to escape
from the fires that i have made
this time will be a little different
this time i'll be the one that pulls you out

and you can be so much more than this

now you can be free
from every fear that you have
so i can finally go to sleep

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.

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.
Think this song is totally about how people seclude themselves and are their own worst enemies. They trap themselves inside "walls". This song is their way of showing people how to tear down those walls. You can be shown out of the hole you are in, but it's you that has to climb out/stay out. "watch all your fears fall like ashes all around just don't forget that you're the one who brought it down you did this on your own all i did was show you how". Amazing song and for sure the best hardcore band in recent years. Lyrically amazing, right up there with Oh, Sleeper.
Why has nobody commented this song? It's AMAZING.
Uhhhhm, people hello? this song is awesome :) I build walls just like whoever this song is about. Haha, So I think i get it. MMMMMM
yeah meaning in it is pretty obvious to me. BUT THIS SONG IS FUCKING AMAZING! lyrically it's my fav. by them with Taste of Regret in a close second.
The only problem with these lyrics is that at the beggining it says better off ALIVE not alone
no it's not. Buy the CD and read the packet.
