This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Baby, we was makin' straight A's
But we was stuck in a dumb daze
Don't take much to memorize your life
I feel like I been hypnotisized.
And then, that magic man, he come to town
Whoo-ee! He done spun my head around
Said, "Recess is in session,
"Two and two make five!"
And now baby, oh, I'm alive...
Oh yeah! Ah, I'm alive!
And if you wanna be the teacher's pet,
Well baby, you just better forget it...
Rock got no reason, rock got no rhyme...
You better get me to school on time...
[Solo]
Oh, you know I was better on a roll,
Got good grades, but got no soul,
Raise my hand before I can speak my mind,
I been bitin' my tongue too many times!
And then that magic man said to obey (uh-huh)
Do what Magic Man do, not what Magic Man say.
"Now, could I please have the attention of the class?
"Today's assignment...
"Kick some ass!"
And if you wanna be the teacher's pet,
Well baby, you just better forget it...
Rock got no reason, rock got no rhyme...
You better get me to school on time...
"This is my final exam,
"Now y'all know who I am,
"I might not be that perfect son,
"But y'all be rockin' when I'm done!"
[Solo]
But we was stuck in a dumb daze
Don't take much to memorize your life

And then, that magic man, he come to town
Whoo-ee! He done spun my head around

"Two and two make five!"
And now baby, oh, I'm alive...
Oh yeah! Ah, I'm alive!

You better get me to school on time...

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”

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.
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.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
No one's talked about this song though, just Mooney Suzuki. I give this movie, and song, all the credit for reviving interest in classic rock, the only true music. Sales of Led Zeppelin cds, AC/DC cds, and Queen cds have skyrocketed thanks to this beast of a movie. Although I would give more credit to the Darkness, a new classic rock band (yes you heard me, new classic rock) for sales of Queen cds since they are a direct homage, this movie has still done wonders for the market. Rock on, Jack Black!
