This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Somewhere overhead
Distant thunder roars
The revolution has begun
The war to end all wars
As I welcome death
I hear the battle cry
Bullets fall like fire
Raining from the sky
The rebel in us all
Someday gets tired of being pushed around
But freedom has a price
The cost is buried in the ground
We suffered far too long
We gather now growing stronger
We will not be ignored
Anymore any longer
Our anthem will guide us
Rise up, be counted
Stand strong and unite
Wait for the outcry
Resistance is calling tonight
Far too many years
Of chaos and unrest
Far too many voices
Brutally suppressed
We fight for what is just
For all that we believe
We fight till death or glory
Fight to be set free
The streets are bathed in blood
Time to step down and time to walk away
You'll never rule me now
Though you may stand upon my grave
You can look the other way
Or you can face the light
Although it seems so far away
Freedom's worth the fight
Rise up, be counted
Stand strong and unite
Wait for the outcry
Resistance is calling
Rise up, be counted
Stand strong and unite
Wait for the outcry
Resistance is calling tonight
The world watches on
While we risk our lives
Locked in a kingdom of fear
As our children die
Distant thunder roars
The revolution has begun
The war to end all wars
As I welcome death
I hear the battle cry
Bullets fall like fire
Raining from the sky
The rebel in us all
Someday gets tired of being pushed around
But freedom has a price
The cost is buried in the ground
We suffered far too long
We gather now growing stronger
We will not be ignored
Anymore any longer
Our anthem will guide us
Rise up, be counted
Stand strong and unite
Wait for the outcry
Resistance is calling tonight
Far too many years
Of chaos and unrest
Far too many voices
Brutally suppressed
We fight for what is just
For all that we believe
We fight till death or glory
Fight to be set free
The streets are bathed in blood
Time to step down and time to walk away
You'll never rule me now
Though you may stand upon my grave
You can look the other way
Or you can face the light
Although it seems so far away
Freedom's worth the fight
Rise up, be counted
Stand strong and unite
Wait for the outcry
Resistance is calling
Rise up, be counted
Stand strong and unite
Wait for the outcry
Resistance is calling tonight
The world watches on
While we risk our lives
Locked in a kingdom of fear
As our children die

@[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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
It's funny you say that because it sounds more like it was written about World War I when it says "The war to end all wars". Guess we have to take his word though right?
Look at the complete lyrics, though. It's clear that the uprisings are what he's talking about. Plus, you can hear some of that quasi-Eastern sound that they like to do.
Consider that, when the war directly affects you and your future in a very real and immediate sense, it becomes a lot more important than whatever wars happened ninety years ago, regardless of how big a deal they might have been.<br /> <br /> It also helps to look at it from a more first-person, subjective view of one of the people who are part of these uprisings, than from a third-person view.
