This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
A stab in the back is worth waiting for tonight
He's seen enough joy for today
A sudden attack
Would just start the evening right
And maybe a penance to pay
Thunder and lightning
Electric machines
These are the devils
That shout in his dreams
Chorus:
Double the pain
He's strong he will survive
Double the pain
It will make him come alive
Double the pain
Games of the heart
Not fair and you can't win
But torture and anger can play
You've never said no
To just another spin
And losing is one step away
Friendly confusion
Like nothing you've seen
These are the demons
That shout in his dreams
Chorus
A slap in the face
To bring him back around
It's a touch - like cool morning rain
He's fallen from grace
And slammed to the ground
And begs for some more of the same
Thunder and lightning
Eccentric machines
These are the devils
That shout in his dreams
Chorus
Double the pain
I'm sure I saw him smile
Double the pain
Let's kick him for awhile
Double the pain
He's seen enough joy for today
A sudden attack
Would just start the evening right
And maybe a penance to pay
Thunder and lightning
Electric machines
These are the devils
That shout in his dreams
Chorus:
Double the pain
He's strong he will survive
Double the pain
It will make him come alive
Double the pain
Games of the heart
Not fair and you can't win
But torture and anger can play
You've never said no
To just another spin
And losing is one step away
Friendly confusion
Like nothing you've seen
These are the demons
That shout in his dreams
Chorus
A slap in the face
To bring him back around
It's a touch - like cool morning rain
He's fallen from grace
And slammed to the ground
And begs for some more of the same
Thunder and lightning
Eccentric machines
These are the devils
That shout in his dreams
Chorus
Double the pain
I'm sure I saw him smile
Double the pain
Let's kick him for awhile
Double the pain

@[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 think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
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.
This song is about Euthanasia, or life-agony duration prolonged by artificial life-support means.
i'm not sure about the euthanasia-thing. it rather seems to be about a guy who just likes to feel pain. an often reoccurring theme within Dio-songs.
anyway, i doubt that it's what the song is about, but when he sings "thunder and lightning, electric machines..." i always think about Dr. Frankenstein creating his monster...
however, it's one of the best of the album!!!
It's Euthanasia, read this: "He's strong he will survive It will make him come alive I'm sure I saw him smile Let's kick him for awhile". Remember that Ronnie James Dio knows what is to be in comma, he was on that state for weeks when that car accident happened. Remember that is was after that when he changed his lastname from Padavona to Dio. Check that out at "the Early Years" page.
Could it be that it's a masochistic metaphor for gambling addiction? in the sense, that it's not about "double the pain because he likes pain and he's a masochist", but more like "since he likes to play knowing fully he can lose money, what the hell, make him play and lose and ruin his life, he likes it anyway". The line "you never said no to just another spin and losing is one step away" may be the key... another spin of what? of the wheel at the gambling table?
Also, "He's fallen from grace and slammed to the ground and begs for some more of the same" - can it be a reference to how after losing a lot of money still someone wants to play with fortune?
Taken at face value, the lyrics are about someone who enjoys pain (Double the pain, I'm sure I saw him smile) - the key to the song is what stands for "pain" and why the dude enjoys it anyway... gambling could be a solution...
Why overlook the referrences to machines?
To me its about a person haunted by dreams of the external world. someone becoming aware of the matrix.
Its about how Neo and smith fight it out. God and his ultimate equation.
Dio is singing from the Architects point of view. Basically saying it this Neo/Smith that will be the next Architect.
The Neo-Dio if you will.
And the from me confusion like nothing you've seen part. Is telling the listener that being God you must be ready to play all parts. Manipulate the living for humans and programs will eventually self destruct without the Source. Hence the schizo reference.
Ii recomment you dudes play 21st century schizoid man after listening to this song to draw parallels .
I think its refereing to 9/11.
Perhaps hes personifying the towers: " He's fallen from grace And slammed to the ground And begs for some more of the same "
And reference to the airplanes: "Thunder and lightning Electric machines These are the devils That shout in his dreams "
