This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Would you like to meet the villain somewhere
Underneath the skull of a moon.
Fire burned his eyes out
Cause his chains are too long for you.
Someone has to pay for the damage done.
N-one's gonna love you now.
Your whole family's splintered,
You're a slave to it all,
now.
Oooo ahhh
You're a slave to it all now
You're a slave
Welcome down to paradise rock.
There is no single entrance,
With the stars to revolve around,
There is no real underground.
No stars to revolve around
Here, they're fashioning the noose.
Sickened by the knell of the graveyard bell
You know it's not long for you.
Sick of all the vomit childhood,
Not a trampoline for the freaks,
Not even a slave to your father.
Oh, you're a slave to it all, now,
Oh, you're a slave to it all, now.
Welcome down to paradise rock.
There is no single entrance
There's no stars to revolve around
There is no real underground.
You're a slave to it all, now.
Happy, happy, happy, happy,
Happy, happy, happy, happy.
Underneath the skull of a moon.
Fire burned his eyes out
Cause his chains are too long for you.
Someone has to pay for the damage done.
N-one's gonna love you now.
Your whole family's splintered,
You're a slave to it all,
now.
Oooo ahhh
You're a slave to it all now
You're a slave
Welcome down to paradise rock.
There is no single entrance,
With the stars to revolve around,
There is no real underground.
No stars to revolve around
Here, they're fashioning the noose.
Sickened by the knell of the graveyard bell
You know it's not long for you.
Sick of all the vomit childhood,
Not a trampoline for the freaks,
Not even a slave to your father.
Oh, you're a slave to it all, now,
Oh, you're a slave to it all, now.
Welcome down to paradise rock.
There is no single entrance
There's no stars to revolve around
There is no real underground.
You're a slave to it all, now.
Happy, happy, happy, happy,
Happy, happy, happy, happy.

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”

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
why has no one commented on this song yet? when the chorus reaches it's pinnacle of 'there is no real underground' it's the sound of pure ecstacy. and he made it sitting on the floor of a bare house with no fancy-ass high fallootin studio equipment. the man was a genius. to me, this is the greatest example of the beautiful music that this world lost the night it lost jeff buckley.
My favourite Jeff Buckley song! It's just so raw and powerful!! The meaning is kinda hard to listen to because i find it very sad. "You're a slave to it all now" is such an emotional line, he must have gone through hell at times - i think he began to feel like a commodity near the end of his brief career and it annoyed him. The "happy, happy..." part at the end is actually both disturbing and funny, because it shows he could still laugh at himself yet you get a sense of 'this is just a front - oneday i'm gonna crack'.
This is, to me, Jeff's most disturbing songs. But it's also one of few where I could actually envision the finished version. Would've been beautiful, I love this version all the same, though.
I love the "ooooh ahhhh bit". Amazing.
The the bit about "Paradise Rock" in the chorus is great. the lyrical content, such as "sick of all the Vomit Childhood, not a trampoline..." and "Not even a slave to your father", seem VERY personal.
And the "Happy" ending is one of the most sarcastic and cleverly done messages I've heard in a song. Cobain tried to do this kinda of thing of showing how he feels in his songs. But I much prefer Jeff
Absolutely agree that this album was set to shake a generation in the way that Sgt. Peppers did. The raging, kaleidoscope fever dream vision of a still budding musical genius.
Amen to that.
this song is so deep and powerful, i cry each and everytime i listen to this song. it really hurts knowing that jeff is gone.
yes!
I think I read in Dream Brother, the bio of Jeff and Tim Buckley, that this song was compared to spirit and vision of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. That the song was at that level of recording genius. Jeff was going to change everything, and in a sense, he did. Miss him terribly.
This song was moving in a direction not unlike Sgt. Pepper meets Syd Barrett, musically. A singularly frightening piece of inspired madness.
