This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Come wit it now
Come wit it now
The microphone explodes, shattering the molds
Either droppin hits like de la mode or get the fuck off the commode
With the sure shot, sure to make the bodies drop
Drop and don't copy yo, don't call this a co-opt
Terror rains drenchin', quenchin' the thirst of tha power dons
That five sided fist-a-gon
Tha rotten sore on the face of mother earth gets bigger
Tha triggers cold empty your purse
Rally round the family
With a pocket full of shells
They rally round the family
With a pocket full of shells
They rally round the family
With a pocket full of shells
They rally round the family
With a pocket full of shells
Weapons not food, not homes, not shoes
Not need, just feed the war cannibal animal
I walk the corner to the rubble that used to be a library
Line up to the mind cemetery now
What we don't know keeps the contracts alive and movin'
They don't gotta burn the books they just remove 'em
While arms warehouses fill as quick as the cells
Rally round tha family
Pockets full of shells
Rally round the family
With a pocket full of shells
They rally round the family
With a pocket full of shells
They rally round the family
With a pocket full of shells
They rally round the family
With a pocket full of shells
Bulls on parade
Come wit it now
Come wit it now
Bulls on parade
Bulls on parade
Bulls on parade
Bulls on parade
Bulls on parade
Come wit it now
The microphone explodes, shattering the molds
Either droppin hits like de la mode or get the fuck off the commode
With the sure shot, sure to make the bodies drop
Drop and don't copy yo, don't call this a co-opt
Terror rains drenchin', quenchin' the thirst of tha power dons
That five sided fist-a-gon
Tha rotten sore on the face of mother earth gets bigger
Tha triggers cold empty your purse
Rally round the family
With a pocket full of shells
They rally round the family
With a pocket full of shells
They rally round the family
With a pocket full of shells
They rally round the family
With a pocket full of shells

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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.
Wow, you guys are way off. This song is about the military industrial complex in America today (of which both parties are equally to blame). Remember, this song was written in 1995, way before George W Bush became president and the whole warmongering label was applied to Republicans.
"Bull" is in reference to the bull market, which the military industrial complex is supposed to feed.
"They rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells" - This is in reference to family value politicians, who then proceed to send us to war for profit.
"Tha rotten sore on tha face of mother earth gets bigger" - This is to reference the military industrial complex growing as America influences more land through its military complex
"Wit tha sure shot, sure ta make tha bodies drop Drop an don't copy yo, don't call this a co-op" - This is referencing CIA coups that were occurring during the 70s and 80s. The CIA would do a coup and then say it was a co-op with a local group and install a puppet leader.
"They don't gotta burn tha books they just remove 'em" - How the victor changes the history and identity of the people to how they see fit
"Either drop tha hits like de la O" - This is in referencec to Genovevo da la O, who was a Zapatista guerrilla leader during the Mexican revolution of the early 1900s
I'm impressed. I'd say you're right on. What a shame most folks just can't grasp just how deep the meanings to all RAM songs go. This band is sheer genius and there will never be another one who can compare. Thank you for this comment. It's the only accurate one I've read.
Thanks! I have been a fan of theirs for many, many years (and am a huge fan of history). I figure if I can educate one fan on their meaning, it was worth it. While I don't like GWB, I don't like seeing people attribute these song meanings to him when it would've been impossible for it to be the case.
These guys were writing songs about issues that people still don't even really grasp 20 years later and it is a shame. I think so many people just love Rage because they jam so hard that unfortunately the message isn't received by everyone.
Wow very awesome! Thanks man! Good history lesson right here too! Imagine this was back in 1996 and look how much worse it is today. The coup d'é·tat in the Ukraine (2nd one since the first in 2004) CIA training "rebels" and toppling regimes to install puppet regimes like with Qaddafi which was disgusting. The 80s with the Iran Contras oh man it doesn't end! Eisenhower's speech on the Military Industrial Complex was a well spoken warning of what was to come.
@coold00d I would add that many of their songs can easily talk about power dynamics in every other major country in the world as well though and not just the U.S. The title of this album “Evil Empire” is based off of Ronald Reagan’s description of Russia. This song’s context could easily also be applied to China, Russia, Germany during WWII, and other major world powers as this tactic is generally used by anyone in power to stay in power.
@coold00d Correct, except for all your "both sides are bad".
@coold00d good music but terrorist lyrics.
