This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I can't get enough
of livin' in the city
I get off the bus
at Dexter and Denny
the sun's comin' up
over the lake to my east
and I feel the love
in the rythm of the music of the street, yeah
and no one is gonna take that away from me
so I pick up a Real Change paper
as I walk on down the street
yeah, because
vagabonds and troubadours
I built this city on punk rock chords
and I for one cannot ignore the facts, yeah
so we will make music
til no one refuses
we will take our airwaves back
yeah, come on
in the jet city of love
northwest in the evergreen state
people can't get enough
of livin in the darkness and the rain
but when the sun comes out
the streets are filled with songs
and people playin it loud
so the whole world can sing along, yeah
and the cops go screamin by on the 99
there's a man with a smile and his guitar on
and he's holdin' a sign
and it says
vagabonds and troubadours
I built this city on punk rock chords
and I for one cannot ignore the facts, yeah
so we will make music
'til no one refuses
we will take our airwaves back
yeah, come on
of livin' in the city
I get off the bus
at Dexter and Denny
the sun's comin' up
over the lake to my east
and I feel the love
in the rythm of the music of the street, yeah
and no one is gonna take that away from me
so I pick up a Real Change paper
as I walk on down the street
yeah, because
vagabonds and troubadours
I built this city on punk rock chords
and I for one cannot ignore the facts, yeah
so we will make music
til no one refuses
we will take our airwaves back
yeah, come on
in the jet city of love
northwest in the evergreen state
people can't get enough
of livin in the darkness and the rain
but when the sun comes out
the streets are filled with songs
and people playin it loud
so the whole world can sing along, yeah
and the cops go screamin by on the 99
there's a man with a smile and his guitar on
and he's holdin' a sign
and it says
vagabonds and troubadours
I built this city on punk rock chords
and I for one cannot ignore the facts, yeah
so we will make music
'til no one refuses
we will take our airwaves back
yeah, come on

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.

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.

I can't wait till this album comes out!! (: this song is great, and i can't wait to hear the rest. I think this song is just about people who make music, and lovee doing it...something like that
I am so stoked for this album to come out. This song is about Seattle and the Northwest and the music that comes from the area. I am glad I live there, wouldn't live anywhere else. Seattle and The Classic Crime kick ass!
This song is one of the best on the album- even though it's not as edgy as the other tracks. And I prefer edgy music over any other kind, so that's saying a lot.
