I make a loud sound when I’m changing. When I do change, I get bigger but weigh less. What am I?

I welcome the day with a show of light, I stealthily came here in the night. I bathe the earthy stuff at dawn, But by noon, alas! I'm gone.

When you say goodbye, I am what you need to tie.
I come as a couple and go wherever you run.
Who am I?

What is in seasons, seconds, centuries and minutes but not in decades, years or days?

As a whole I am both
safe and secure.

Behead me and I become
a place of meeting.

Behead me again and I am
the partner of ready.

Restore me, and I become
the domain of beasts.

What am I?

When it is alive we sing, when it is dead we clap our hands. What is it?

What am I?

I am a five-letter word and people eat me. If you remove the first letter I become an energy form. If you remove the first two letters, I am needed to live. Scramble the last three letters and I am a drink. What word am I?

Two in a corner, one in a room, zero in a house, but one in a shelter. What am I?

I am a word of 12 alphabets.

* Alphabets 12, 4, 7, 2, 5 : Eastern beast of burden
* Alphabets 1, 8, 10, 9 are street made famous by Sinclair Lewis.
* Alphabets 11, 3, 6 are past.

On whole it means a person suffering from delusions of greatness.

What Is it ?
