We all know the girls that I am talking about Well they are time bombs and they are ticking
and the only question's when they'll blow up
And they'll blow up, we know that without a doubt
cause they're those girls, yeah you know those girls that let their emotions get the best of them

And I've contrived some sort of a plan to help my fellow man
Let's get emotional girls to all wear mood rings
So we'll be tipped off to when they're ticked off
cause we'll know just what they're thinking...just what they're thinking
She's so pretty but she doesn't always act that way
Her mood's out swinging on the swing set almost everyday
She said to me that she's so happy its depressing
And all I said was someone get that girl a mood ring

If its drama you want then look no further
They're like the Real World, meets Boy Meets World, meets Days of our Lives
And it just kills me how they get away with murder
They're anger you then bat their eyes... those pretty eyes that watch you sympathize


And I've contrived some sort of a plan to help my fellow man
Let's get emotional girls to all wear mood rings
So we'll be tipped off to when they're ticked off
cause we'll know just what they're thinking...just what they're thinking
She's so pretty but she doesn't always act that way
Her mood's out swinging on the swing set almost everyday
She said to me that she's so stressed out that its soothing
And all I said was someone get that girl a mood ring


Cause when its black means watch your back because you're probably the last person in the world right now she wants to see
And when its blue it means that you should call her up immediately and ask her out because she'll most likely agree

And when its green it simply means that she is really stressed
And when its clear it means she's completely emotionless
And that's alright I must confess...

We all know the girls that I am talking about She liked you wednesday but now its friday and she has to wash her hair
And it just figures that we'll never figure them out
First she's Jekyll and then she's Hyde...
At least she makes a lovely pair

Mood ring, oh mood ring
Oh tell me will you bring
The key to unlock this mystery?
Of girls and their emotions,
play it back in slow motion
So i may understand the complex infrastructure known as the female mind...

(spoken)...ha... that was terrible...

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

Amazing
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.
