This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Smile like you've got nothing to prove
No matter what you might do
There's always someone out there cooler than you
I know it's hard to believe
But there are people you meet
They're into something that is too big to be
Expressed through their clothes
And they'll put up with all the poses you throw
And you won't even know
That they're not sizing you up
They know your mom fucked you up
Or maybe let you watch too much TV
But they'll still look in your eyes
To find the human inside
You know there's always something to see
Beneath the veneer
Not everybody made the list this year
Have a beer
Make me feel tiny if it makes you feel tall
But there's always someone cooler than you
Yeah, you're the shit but you won't be it for long
Oh, there's always someone cooler than you
Yeah, there's always someone cooler than you
Now that I've got the disease
In a way I'm relieved
'cause I don't have to stress about it like you do.
I might just get up and dance
Or buy some acid wash pants
When you don't care then
You've got nothing to loose
And I won't hesitate
Because every moment life it slipping away
It's okay
Make me feel tiny if it make you feel tall
But there's always someone cooler than you
Yeah, you're the shit but you won't be it for long
But there's always someone cooler than you
Oh, there's always someone cooler than you
Yeah,there's always someone cooler than you
There's always someone cooler than
Life is wonderful
Oh, life is beautiful
We're all children of one big universe
So you don't have to be a chump
And you know that I won't hesitate
'cause every moment life is slipping away
It's okay
Make me feel tiny if it make you feel tall
Because there's always someone cooler than you
Yeah, you're the shit but you won't be it for long
But there's always someone cooler than you
Oh yeah, there's always someone cooler than you
Because there's always someone cooler than you
Cooler than you [Repeats]
Nerds go wild
No matter what you might do
There's always someone out there cooler than you
I know it's hard to believe
But there are people you meet
They're into something that is too big to be
Expressed through their clothes
And they'll put up with all the poses you throw
And you won't even know

You know there's always something to see

@[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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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."

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
the coolness disease?? dunno....
i love this song!
MAKE ME FEEL TINY IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL TALL, BUT THERE'S ALWAYS SOMEONE COOLER THAN YOU!!!
i quote this so much dude...
i love so much how he describes the cooler people.
'But there are people you meet They're into something that is too big to be Expressed through their clothes And they'll put up with all the poses you throw'
i think he's basically saying that the people that are cooler than you are the ones that don't really think about it. they just do what they want and their confidence and individuality gives them something that makes them so cool. i know a lot of people like this.
does ben folds have aids?
"Make me feel tiny if it makes you feel tall."
Might just be my favorite lyric ever. Ben Folds knows how to make being painfully uncool cool.
i love this song. no matter how cool someone thinks they are there's always someone who thinks they're better so why bother trying to pretend. just be yourself. this is definitely one of my favorites by ben folds.
this is such a great song. i'm surprised more people haven't commented on it, but it's also a hard song to get your hands on, so that might be the reason. anyway, it's just about someone who has become obsessed with being the coolest, or perhaps the "scenest" makes more sense. this person tries to pretend not to be trying, but it's still obvious that they are, and they thus feel the need to put others down.
Yeah, it probably doesn't have many comments because its off the pre-release album Sunny 16.
It is one of my top 3 Ben Folds's songs.
I really like it because it is very true. No matter how cool you strive to be, there will always be someone out there that you meet that is "cooler" than you in some way. It's inevitable. So why try to be the coolest? Just live for yourself and be content with yourself and life will be beautiful.
what does he mean "now that i've got the disease?"
Its very true, i mean no matter how cool you are you still aren;t that cool.
"what does he mean "now that i've got the disease?" "
That means "now that I know to just be myself."
