This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Roses in the car
Roses in the car
Bony saddle, bony street
Corrugated iron sheet
This bed is not concrete
This bed in which you sleep
Flesh is flesh til blood runs cold
And blood is blood, so I am told
Your carbon makes a star
Your carbon makes a star
And after all, that's all we are
After all, that's all we are
That’s all we are
That’s all we are
That’s all we are
All these young men, these young lions
All these young men, these young lions
You don't know if it’s true
Or if to believe in you
There are tunnels through the stone
Where weaker hearts have made a home
Their roses in a car
Their roses in a car
And after all that's all we are
After all that's all we are
And isn't it bizarre
The adults that we are
Still playing
Follow the leader
Body don't break
Body don't break
Body don't break
Til broken
Body gonna make
Body gonna make
Body gonna make
Another body
Don't want to be the last to leave
Roses in the car
Bony saddle, bony street
Corrugated iron sheet
This bed is not concrete
This bed in which you sleep
Flesh is flesh til blood runs cold
And blood is blood, so I am told
Your carbon makes a star
Your carbon makes a star
And after all, that's all we are
After all, that's all we are
That’s all we are
That’s all we are
That’s all we are
All these young men, these young lions
All these young men, these young lions
You don't know if it’s true
Or if to believe in you
There are tunnels through the stone
Where weaker hearts have made a home
Their roses in a car
Their roses in a car
And after all that's all we are
After all that's all we are
And isn't it bizarre
The adults that we are
Still playing
Follow the leader
Body don't break
Body don't break
Body don't break
Til broken
Body gonna make
Body gonna make
Body gonna make
Another body
Don't want to be the last to leave

@[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.
I Can't 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.

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.
Personally I think this is about young soilders going to war.
'All these young men, these young lions ' It shows how they're brave and courageous, much like lions.
'Their roses in a car' Are the roses ontop of the coffin in the back of a hurse, so these young soilders have died in battle.
'Your carbon makes a star' Is a version of reincarnation.
That's what I think anyway! It's a great song! x
My belief is this is a song reference to the horrors and decimation First World War.
"Lions lead by donkeys" is a well used quote. Therefore 'Young Lions' is an extension of this. Plus "All these young men, these young lions" is a definite military reference.
It's not totally apparent but some pointers lead me in this belief...
"Bony saddle, bony street"... horses not vehicles were the main mode of transport. "Corrugated iron sheet"... used to reinforce the walls of the trenches "This bed is not concrete, This bed in which you sleep"... see above.
"Your carbon makes a star"... reference to the missing dead in unmarked graves. Family and friends never had the bodies repatriated so look to the heavens for their loved ones.
"There are tunnels through the stone"... tunnelling was rife to undermine the opposing trenches. "The adults that we are, Still playing, Follow the leader"... reference to the thousands killed whilst walking in line to the trenches.
I seriously do hope it's about the First World War, as (for a relatively young band) it shows a depth of understanding of both world events and of the human condition beyond their years. Respect due.
What an amazing song! I love the line... 'Flesh is flesh til blood runs cold And blood is blood, so I am told'
I love the line 'Your carbon makes a star, and after all, that's all we are.' It is a scientific version of reincarnation.
some references to the armed forces and funeral services?
I think this song has alot to do with making the most of your time on this earth.
Well if the "armed forces" idea is correct, then perhaps some inspiration from the Brando movie?
favourite from new album :)
Agree with the other comments about war- thought I'd add my thoughts about some of the other lines. "Flesh is flesh til blood runs cold"- perhaps referring to how war changes our views on the sacredness of human life? i.e. "human flesh is sacred, until there is hostility"- think of 'killing in cold blood'. On another level, it's got an air of the same wonderment that's in the rest of the song at how death is so intangible, we can't quite describe how it changes things so dramatically- a person suddenly changes to a corpse. "Body gonna make another body"- again, human life becoming cheap, more people can be made to replace them on the conveyor belt.
Such a beautiful song!
