This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
When I look at you, heaven's on fire
I wish I didn't know you better, but it's pointless
One look at you, and heaven's on fire
When I look at you, I reach for a piano wire
Fighting to keep it together, but it's pointless
One look at you and heaven's on fire,
Heaven's on fire
It seems like everyone is on your side
We're outnumbered by those who take no pride
In constantly moving against the tide
Charlatans just out of reach and out of time
I'm a little like you,
Ugly on the inside
But while I dive into the gritty
You just stand by
When I look at you
Heaven's on fire
Heaven's on fire
It seems like everyone is on your side
We're outnumbered by those who take no pride
In constantly moving against the tide
Charlatans just out of reach and out of time"
I wish I didn't know you better, but it's pointless
One look at you, and heaven's on fire
When I look at you, I reach for a piano wire
Fighting to keep it together, but it's pointless
One look at you and heaven's on fire,
Heaven's on fire
It seems like everyone is on your side
We're outnumbered by those who take no pride
In constantly moving against the tide
Charlatans just out of reach and out of time
I'm a little like you,
Ugly on the inside
But while I dive into the gritty
You just stand by
When I look at you
Heaven's on fire
Heaven's on fire
It seems like everyone is on your side
We're outnumbered by those who take no pride
In constantly moving against the tide
Charlatans just out of reach and out of time"

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.
The lyrics above are either meant as a joke, or the poster has a terrible ear. Here are the correct lyrics from the band's site:
Thurston Moore (sample) "People see rock and roll as, as youth culture, and when youth culture becomes monopolised by big business, what are the youth to do? Do you, do you have any idea? I think we should destroy the bogus capitalist process that is destroying youth culture."
"When I look at you, heaven's on fire I wish I didn't know you better, but it's pointless One look at you, and heaven's on fire
When I look at you, I reach for a piano wire Fighting to keep it together, but it's pointless One look at you and heaven's on fire, Heaven's on fire
It seems like everyone is on your side We're outnumbered by those who take no pride In constantly moving against the tide Charlatans just out of reach and out of time
I'm a little like you, Ugly on the inside But while I dive into the gritty You just stand by When I look at you Heaven's on fire Heaven's on fire
It seems like everyone is on your side We're outnumbered by those who take no pride In constantly moving against the tide Charlatans just out of reach and out of time"
Puts quite a different spin on it, eh? Heaven's on fire not because he's hot for the other person, but because makes him so upset he reaches for piano wire.
The lyrics posted are from a Kiss song of the same name haha
The songs about the hypocratic and unjust mass marketing music industry. Im not sure if the radio dept. are signed but deffers not with a big label.
He's just singing about what the initial sample is talking about. but they put an ironic spin on it cos the song is more pop than the rest of their music. So they're kindof criticising the popular music inustry who are afraid to step out of the norm and give support to bands like themselves.
Its sounds sort of romantic aswell but i dont think there's any kindof romantic narrative happening
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I agree, it's about the mainstream music industry.
"When I look at you, heaven's on fire" When he says "you" he's referring to people who just make music to make money, not for the love of music. Or maybe he's just referring to the people who support all the garbage that the industry feeds to them. "heaven's on fire" is a powerful metaphor for destroying something good.
I really like the line, "We're outnumbered by those who take no pride in constantly moving against the tide" It seems like there are far fewer people out there who take the time to discover music written by real artists who care about what the write, and way too many people who just run with the herd and listen to the crap that plays on most radio stations.
I think this is all turning around with the rise of the internet though. No one has to pay money to discover music any longer. It's all free and available to everyone. I really hope this turns music back into what it was meant to be, an art form, not a business.
I do too, it makes so much sense i could see him having hopes and dreams and thinking about the music industry just agrivates the singer\<br /> <br /> "When I look at you, I reach for a piano wire<br /> Fight to keep it together, but it's pointless"<br /> <br /> Maybe one look at the industry and he reaches to the piano wire to make a song but it's pointless because they run the system.. not even worth it
this song is gorgeous!! =D i love the melody of it! so pretty
Gorgeous indeed! My favorite track from Clinging to a Scheme!
hmm i guess it is about how stuck up scene kids are.
its about the mainstream music industry

Oh wow, I didn't know that was Thurston Moore. TIL. :)
Sounds like disliking somebody because they're a lot like you, and in turn, hating yourself for being so similar to them.
