This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
An ending fitting for the start
You twist and tore our love apart
Your light fingers threw the dark
Shattered the lamp and into darkness it cast us
No, you've got it the wrong way round
You shut me up, and blamed it on the brown
Cornered the boy, kicked out at the world
The world kicked back a lot fuckin' harder now
If you wanna try
If you wanna try
There's no worse you could do
Uh oh oh
I know you lie
I know you lie
I'm still in love with you
Uh oh oh
Can't take me anywhere
I'll take you anywhere
You can't take me anywhere
I can't take you anywhere
I'll take you anywhere you wanna go
But oh, you can't stand me, no, you can't stand me now
You can't stand me, no, you can't stand me now
You can't stand me, no, you can't stand me now
You can't stand me, no, you can't stand me now
Have we enough to keep it together?
Or do we just keep on pretending
And hope our luck is never ending now
You tried to pull the wool, I wasn't feeling too clever
And you take all that they're lending
Until you need amending now
If you wanna try
If you wanna try
There's no worse you could do
Uh oh oh
I know you lie
All you do is make me cry
All these words they ain't true
I can't take me anywhere
I can take you anywhere
You can't take me anywhere
I will take you anywhere
I'll take you anywhere you want to go
But oh, you can't stand me, no, you can't stand me now
You can't stand me, no, you can't stand me now
You can't stand me, no, you can't stand me now
You can't stand me, no, you can't stand me now
You can't stand me now (you can't stand me now)
You can't stand me, no, you can't stand me now
You can't stand me now, you can't stand me now
No, you can't stand me now
No oh oh
You can't stand me now
Oh oh oh
You twist and tore our love apart
Your light fingers threw the dark
Shattered the lamp and into darkness it cast us
No, you've got it the wrong way round
You shut me up, and blamed it on the brown
Cornered the boy, kicked out at the world
The world kicked back a lot fuckin' harder now
If you wanna try
If you wanna try
There's no worse you could do
Uh oh oh
I know you lie
I know you lie
I'm still in love with you
Uh oh oh
Can't take me anywhere
I'll take you anywhere
You can't take me anywhere
I can't take you anywhere
I'll take you anywhere you wanna go
But oh, you can't stand me, no, you can't stand me now
You can't stand me, no, you can't stand me now
You can't stand me, no, you can't stand me now
You can't stand me, no, you can't stand me now
Have we enough to keep it together?
Or do we just keep on pretending
And hope our luck is never ending now
You tried to pull the wool, I wasn't feeling too clever

You can't stand me, no, you can't stand me now
You can't stand me now (you can't stand me now)
You can't stand me, no, you can't stand me now
You can't stand me now, you can't stand me now
No, you can't stand me now
No oh oh
You can't stand me now
Oh oh oh

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."

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Really? Okay, maybe I was a little harsh then, but I still think they're a bit of a 2nd rate Clash. Better than most stuff you see on MTV anyway. So I apologize for the statement, but I stand by the feelings behind it.
