This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
A baseball bat
A baseball bat beside my bed
I'll wait around and wait around
And wait
I hear a noise, I hear a noise
Well, I hear something
I am alone, you win again
I'm paralyzed
I drift away, I'll drift away
Am I asleep yet?
I hear a scream, I see me scream
Is it from memory?
Am I awake, am I alone
When it is sunrise?
A baseball bat, a thing of mace
That thing of mace, the thing of mace
Where did I leave it?
A psychopath, a psychopath
He says he loves me
And I'm alone, and I am cold and paralyzed
I can't move

Woman: A man is trying to break through my door. I don't know who he is.
Dispatcher: He's doing what?
Woman: He's trying to break open my door!
Dispatcher: What is your address? [...] What's your name, ma'am?
Woman: Karen.
Dispatcher: Karen, jam behind your door.
Woman: I'm at the front door. Okay. Oh no.
Unknown Man: Just let me in.
Dispatcher: Karen, are you still there?
Woman: Uh-huh. He broke through the door!
Unknown Man: Let me in.
Dispatcher: Karen, are you still there?
Woman: Uh-huh!
Dispatcher: Shut the broken door. Lock it, jam it, then come right back to the phone.
Woman: He's at the door! He's here! He's here! Oh no.
Dispatcher: Are you still with me, Karen? Tell him you've got the police on the phone.
Woman: I've got the police on the phone. Who are you? Why are you here?
Unknown Man: (Indistinct reply)
Woman: I've got the police on the phone. I've got the police on the phone. Why are you here, why are you here? Why, why?!

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.
I Can't Go To Sleep

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I've read that Lisa wrote this about an actual stalker who harassed her for years.
While I would agree with you, sin, that it's about always waiting to be attacked, I'd disagree that the narrator feels "ready" in the sense of being adequately prepared and up for the task of defending herself. To me, the song chronicles the slow but complete disempowerment and paralysis that is caused by living in constant fear.
i don't think it necessarily has to be a woman repeatedly raped. just once and she could be destroyed, always afraid. i know it's one of my biggest fears, and i have my own mace under my pillow. it's just a woman forced to be afraid of what she views as a constant threat, always ready and waiting for that sick, crazy fuck.
i don't quite know what to make of this song... i guess it most makes sense to me by thinking it's about a girl who is raped regularly--possibly by a boyfriend?--& feels she can't do anything about it except let the guy do it. i could be dead wrong though... regardless, the song is incredibly haunting & wonderful.
@bittenlip The woman on the phone was real and the guy was a thug stalking her. She was later raped and murdered
