This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I love the way you hurt me
My tears are your wine
Your thoughts would draw my plan for a cruise in vain
Like talons in the pale moon shining above us
The line between pleasure and pain has slowly vanished
As we sink deeper and deeper into a void of your venomous love
Yeah
Yeah, we're gonna fight
We do it every night
Baby, when you scratch
You know I'm gonna bite
You can make me die
I can make you cry
Opposites attract
That's the reason why
No one else could make you feel like I do, I do, I do
No one ever gets as deep inside you, as I do, baby
Our love is a bed of nails
Love hurts good on a bed of nails
I'll lay you down and when all else fails
I'll drive you like a hammer on a bed of nails
Yeah
First we're gonna kiss
Then we're gonna say
Dirty little words
Only lovers say
Rocking through the night
Rolling on the floor
When they hear you screaming
They'll be breaking down the door
No one else could make you feel like I do, I do, I do
No one ever gets as deep inside you, as I do, baby
Our love is a bed of nails
Love hurts good on a bed of nails
I'll lay you down and when all else fails
I'll drive you like a hammer on a bed of nails
Bed of nails
Bed of nails
I'll drive you like a hammer on a bed of nails
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow

Love hurts good on a bed of nails

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.
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
This song pretty much has two meanings, but they blend together.
I think there can be no disputing the sexual references here. This song very easily and in its entirety can be taken as a reference to hardcore, possibly kinky sex.
However, there's a slightly deeper meaning. Some, not all, of Alice's work around this timeframe did have a deeper meaning, and in this case it's love and the pains of a relationship. For example, "put me in your slammer" could reference both entering a woman sexually as well as succumbing to a particular demand or compromise in a relationship.
Besides these two generally interconnected interpretations, I don't see any other real possibilities. Yes, song interpretation is the responsibility of the listener, but in some cases (such as this one) there aren't many open ends.
