This is not a test or an SOS
I'm no longer on a quest to get girls undressed
I search through their hearts and no treasure found
I'm so lucky this one lets dogs hang around
It's good having somebody good for a change
I thought that no good dirty cheats had drove me insane
I had finally given up on love and romance
If I laid down the sword, I'm giving my innocence

Comin' for your heart like a cannibal
Oh, she lets me right in and I fed 'til I'm full
If something goes wrong, I'm accountable
Oh, a life without her is no life at all
I la la la la la la la la love you, cannibal queen

If she ever left me, I would break down and die
Like Nikki and Paolo could bury me alive
Another pretty girl I would love to admire
From a distance, but she's here, so I'll jump in the fire

Comin' for your heart like a cannibal
Oh, she lets me right in and I fed 'til I'm full
If something goes wrong, I'm accountable
Oh, a life without her is no life at all
I la la la la la la la la love you, cannibal queen

Comin' for your heart like a cannibal
Oh, she lets me right in and I fed 'til I'm full
If something goes wrong, I'm accountable
Oh, a life without her is no life at all
I la la la la la la la la love you, cannibal queen.

    I saw these guys opening for the Morning Benders, and they replaced Nikki and P with "like Justin Bieber you could bury me alive"

    haha, so audrey is definently right...

    unless someone can prove me wrong and find any piece of literature or a movie that involves a "Mickey and Piu"

    These guys are avid fans of Lost, things like that don't pop into songs by accident.

    Okay so this is my feel good song, im not all too sure about the meaning but i'm thinking this guy had been with a girl who had cheated on him and had thought all hopes of love was dead but then he meets this NEW and amazing girl and he is ready to venture into love once more and then this new girl lets him do the deed he doesnt have to beg and they do it until he is full (i hate that part of the song) and then he sees the faults that the relationship has like,he can never be right it is always his fault but he sees it and still chooses to be with her because its hard not to love her,even if she eats him alive. <333 cute story behind this song

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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
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.

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.
