This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
(Terror is not a new weapon)
(Throughout history it has been used by those who could not prevail)
(But inevitably they fail)
(Either because men are not afraid to die)
(For a life worth living, or because the terrorists themselves)
(Came to realize that free men cannot be frightened by threats)
All these secrets
Subservience
Forbidden knowledge
Hysteria
But there is something that is scarier
We're cattle to something much more superior
But go, but go, but go, but go, but go
But go continue the rat race
Shake my hand spit in my face
Slit my throat and have a taste
I'm a number after all
Like animals with hierarchy
This whole things is a mockery
Tell me, is this what it's supposed to be
The universe is laughing
Question the power that they have over you
Question the power that they have over you
All these secrets
Subservience
Forbidden knowledge
Hysteria
But there is something that is scarier
We're cattle to something much more superior
All these secrets
Subservience
Forbidden knowledge
Hysteria
But there is something that is scarier
We're cattle to something much more superior
So what if we don't see eye to eye
It seems we have no patience
In this world we can only fear
There's something to be seen
Cancerous deities (killing me)
It's killing me
(Throughout history it has been used by those who could not prevail)

@[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 Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Plastic Bag

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.
Always question those who are placed in positions of great power, they are more often than not the most condescending, convoluted & caustic and likely least worthy of being trusted.
