This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
You're paralyzed breathe your disguise
You feed on the lies that they tell you
Got to break away from the numbing pain
Succumb to the rage that's inside you
You're hypnotized (hypnotized), demoralized
Believe every lie that they sell you
Stop channeling, whatever will remains
Discern from what's fiction and what is dream
Open your eyes (ohh-oh-oh)
Open your eyes (ohh-oh-oh)
Open your eyes
See through the disguise, won't you open your eyes?
(Your eyes)
You've lost your sense from the emptiness
You do as the headlines compel you
Become whole again and let the war begin
Destroy the veneer that surrounds you
There's no defense (no defense) for your recklessness
You stare as the proof lies before you
Why can't you see (can't you see), are you afraid to be
Exposed to the demons around you?
Open your eyes (ohh-oh-oh)
Open your eyes (ohh-oh-oh)
Open your eyes
See through the disguise, won't you open your eyes?
Open your eyes (ohh-oh-oh)
Open your eyes (ohh-oh-oh)
Open your eyes
See through the disguise, won't you open your eyes?
You will all be running, in a world you cannot hide
Know the end is comin' for the lemmings standing in line
Overcoming, let the fury built inside
It could all be broken, if you'd only open your eyes
Open your eyes (ohh-oh-oh)
Open your eyes (ohh-oh-oh)
Open your eyes
See through the disguise, won't you open your eyes?
Open your eyes (ohh-oh-oh)
Open your eyes (ohh-oh-oh)
Open your eyes
See through the disguise, won't you open your eyes?
(Your eyes)
You feed on the lies that they tell you
Got to break away from the numbing pain
Succumb to the rage that's inside you
You're hypnotized (hypnotized), demoralized
Believe every lie that they sell you
Stop channeling, whatever will remains
Discern from what's fiction and what is dream
Open your eyes (ohh-oh-oh)
Open your eyes (ohh-oh-oh)
Open your eyes
See through the disguise, won't you open your eyes?
(Your eyes)
You've lost your sense from the emptiness
You do as the headlines compel you
Become whole again and let the war begin
Destroy the veneer that surrounds you
There's no defense (no defense) for your recklessness
You stare as the proof lies before you
Why can't you see (can't you see), are you afraid to be
Exposed to the demons around you?
Open your eyes (ohh-oh-oh)
Open your eyes (ohh-oh-oh)
Open your eyes
See through the disguise, won't you open your eyes?
Open your eyes (ohh-oh-oh)
Open your eyes (ohh-oh-oh)
Open your eyes
See through the disguise, won't you open your eyes?
You will all be running, in a world you cannot hide
Know the end is comin' for the lemmings standing in line
Overcoming, let the fury built inside
It could all be broken, if you'd only open your eyes
Open your eyes (ohh-oh-oh)
Open your eyes (ohh-oh-oh)
Open your eyes
See through the disguise, won't you open your eyes?
Open your eyes (ohh-oh-oh)
Open your eyes (ohh-oh-oh)
Open your eyes
See through the disguise, won't you open your eyes?
(Your eyes)

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”

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Media/ News and the negativity in topics that are covered? If we keep hearing the same messages over and over and over again, how do we resist them? How can we not believe them after a while?
It's also crazy because if I knew that David, Dan, Mike or Kevin read fantasy fiction, I would swear that this was based on Ted Dekker's books 'Chosen' and 'Infidel' from 'The Lost Books' series. (I've just read both recently and there are SO many parallels)...
