This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
the weavers live up the street from me
the crackheads they live down the street from me
the tall grass makes it hard to see
beyond my property
hey man this is criminal
this hard line symmetry of people and pets
we don't bother anyone
we keep to ourselves
the mailman visits each of us in turn
we don't bother anyone
we keep to ourselves
the mailman visits each of us in time
gotta live gotta live gotta live
in shit towne
gotta live, gotta live, gotta live
in our town.

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.
Holiday

@[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 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
Ed Sheeran
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.
well, i saw these guys in Milwaukee at summerfest, and they said they didnt mean milwaukee...

It's about York, PA, their hometown. check it out:
Live mends fences with hometown, to play two concerts YORK, Pa. (AP) — One of the biggest rock bands of the 1990s has mended fences with its hometown. Live, which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 album chart with the 1994 release “Throwing Copper,” will play its 20th anniversary show Friday at the Strand Theatre and will return Sept. 11 for a concert at the York Fair. The quartet of singer Ed Kowalczyk, bassist Patrick Dahlheimer, drummer Chad Gracey and guitarist Chad Taylor has had icy relations with York, a small city in southcentral Pennsylvania. In the late 1980s, the band, then known as Public Affection, was allegedly booed off the York Fair’s stage during a battle-of-the-bands event. On “Throwing Copper,” Live included an unflattering song about its hometown, whose title consisted of the word “town” tacked to an expletive. In a recent interview, Taylor said the band hadn’t played in the York area since the early 1990s, when it appeared before a small audience at York College. The Strand show sold out on May 29, one day after tickets went on sale. With a show in September, Live fans who weren’t able to score tickets for the Strand will have another chance to see the band. “We feel that it’s all working out for the better,” said Cres Ottemiller, the fair’s musical director. “For all parties — the Strand, Live and us.” ——— Information from: York Daily Record, ydr.com
i like how they write about their home town like that.also how the events surrounding the meaning of the song show that ppl change and live had the balls to go back to their town. on a more poetic stance the 1st verse shows how -in the US- we try to seclude ourselves from others with property lines and 'hard line symmetry'. i don know if ed meant it to reach out that far in the meaning but i can be sure he wanted listeners to relate to this type of mindset......
Yeah, gisela is right. I'm from York, and saw them at the York Fair a year or two ago where they admitted it was about York, even though everyone knew.
this song is about York, PA, but it describes many towns in PA. mine being one, for sure. the crackheads live down the street from me...
Query - What are Weavers? Is it a surname of someone from York or is it some sort of slang word which hasn't made it's way across the pond yet?
Real easy song to play on guitar btw. I looked up the chords at 5pm last night and had the whole song down by 5:15. Love this song. If you get the chance, go on youtube and watch some live performances of this song - it's all good.
Another possibility--there are several companies that produce woven products, which would be called "__ Weavers".

This is my town. It describes it perfectly.
Mine too!!! lol i swear!!
Come on, I dont believe any of that, dont be so sure. Hasn't anybody ever heard of the Ruby Ridge Incident? Well the song provides quite an astonishing relationship. The words describe the situation, and the movie created for it nicely.
