This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I'm a little bit worse for wear
Got a little bit more grey hair
I'm not gonna be the next big thing, but I'm getting fitted for a new brass ring
I been dunked, I've been kicked around
Now I'm ready for the big rebound
I know you can't win them all, but I'm swingin' like Pitt gettin' hits in Moneyball
Get back, get back up
You gotta get back, get back up
You got a whole stadium on their feet, it's not about a victory or a defeat
See you gotta get back, get back up
You gotta get back, get back up
Not everything is sink or swim
You cant fly if the airs too thin
The best part of the ride is the freefall
Better keep your arms and legs in the vehicle
Standing eight and I'm on the ropes
Knees givin' but I wont lose hope
Not the second coming of Muhammad Ali, but can I get a "WOOT" for the boxing imagery?

Everybody's up on their feet, it's not about a victory or a defeat
See you gotta get back, get back up
You gotta get back, get back up
Gotta get back, gotta get back
Gotta get back, gotta get back
Gotta get back, gotta get back

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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.
I don't know why, but I seem to find this song the funniest of all of the BNL songs. It's just about someone who breaks their back and becomes paralyzed, and that's sort of morbid, but I find it funny anyway. Because it's also fun seeing how they talk about the things that came with breaking a back. Like what they can do with their wheelchairs. THe clapper. He took moving around for granted and now he's paying for it. It could be looked at in a more philosophical way. LIke I said, it could be talking about the moment where you lose all those things you take for granted, and that always sucks. But you have to look on the bright side like he does when he talks about the hocky cards in the spokes and the front row seats at concerts and the good parking spots.
