This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
"Live like an angel, die like a devil." Don't let it worry you, we're down here together. We're all here: heathens, heretics, kids with blue socks. I asked some questions and wasn't satisfied with the answers. It seems that's the biggest crime since not fitting in. But we're all here: King Diamond, todd's mom, fallen angels, the decimated cultures, the kid in the corner in sweat pants. We'll find our own way.

@[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,

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” 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.
I think it's about how people turn toward religion to find an answer but only end up more confuzed than before and that there is no real meaning to life other than living it but we seem to think there is.
I pretty much agree with swollendog... whether or not we adhere to religion (as prescribed by its dogmatic bosses here on Earth) is going to make no difference in the end. Plus, we don't need institutionalised relgion to show us how to lead good lives; it doesn't matter if we don't conform to 'their' template of virtuous behaviour because, as sentient beings, we can live by our own code - "we'll find our own way".
I asked some questions and wasn't satisfied with the answers. It seems that's the biggest crime since not fitting in. ---People discriminated against in society for exercising freedom of thought.
Live like a angel die like a devil -- live a good life yet still go to hell (perhaps) thats the meaning
A fair bit of the song relates to everyone being on this world together ... i see that as a everyone can work together and live a good life kind of point
I aksed some questions and wasnt satisfied with the answers == no religion is complete although lots have some good ideals lots are based on threat for the good of the religion/god not for the good of the people
dont live in threat of a religion live a good life in your own mind

"Live Like An Angel Die Like A Devil" is the title (and central lyric) of a Venom song from the 1981 album Welcome To Hell.
We all know that Propagandhi are big on early 80s punk, thrash and metal. This is one of several instances on the TETA album where take a popular lyric from those styles, and twist it to give it a new meaning (another example would be the use of "You've got another thing coming" on COINTELPRO, originally from the Judas Priest song).
I think this song basically about how we all end up the same - dead. Heaven or Hell are ultimately irrelevant concepts, and so it's a fallacy to suggest that any one human being can be "superior" or more important than another.
The beginning is funny :) I think, I agree with punkpirate. A lot of religious people are like that. I hate them.
Its all in the title. I am the pope. The point is that we are all the pope. He isnt any different from you, me or the kid in sweat pants. Religion isnt the only option anyway, its fine. We'll find our own way. I find the optimism in this pretty striking.
I'm so fucking confused about this song, help me with opinions with what you think it means, please :)
anyone?!
guess not :(
