This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
1,2,3...
and if I could swim,
I'd swim out to you in the ocean,
swim out to where you were floating,
in the dark,
and if I was blessed,
I'd walk on the water your'e breathin',
to lend you some air for that heavin' sunken chest,
cause they chose you as the model for their empty little dreams,
with your new head and your legs spread like a filthy magazine,
and they hunt you and they gut you and you give in,
and if I was brave,
I'd climb up to you on the mountain,
they led you to drink from their fountain,
spouting lies,
and I'd slay the horrible beast they commissioned,
to steer me away from my mission to your eyes,
and I'd stand there like a soldier with my foot upon his chest,
with my grin spread and my arms out in my bloodstained Sunday's best,
and you'd hold me,
I'd remind you,
who you are, under their shell...
I'd walk through hell for you,
let it burn right through my shoes,
these soles are useless without you,
through hell for you,
let the torturing ensue my soul is useless without you...
and if they send a whirlwind id hug it like a harmless little tree,
or an earthquake,
I'd calm it,
and I'd bring you back to me,
and I'd hold you in my weak arms like a firstborn...
I'd walk through hell for you,
let it burn right through my shoes,
these soles are useless without you,
through hell for you,
let the torturing ensue my soul is useless without you...
Now I'd walk through hell for you.
Whats an adventurer to do but rest these feet at home with you?
and if I could swim,
I'd swim out to you in the ocean,
swim out to where you were floating,
in the dark,
and if I was blessed,
I'd walk on the water your'e breathin',
to lend you some air for that heavin' sunken chest,
cause they chose you as the model for their empty little dreams,
with your new head and your legs spread like a filthy magazine,
and they hunt you and they gut you and you give in,
and if I was brave,
I'd climb up to you on the mountain,
they led you to drink from their fountain,
spouting lies,
and I'd slay the horrible beast they commissioned,
to steer me away from my mission to your eyes,
and I'd stand there like a soldier with my foot upon his chest,
with my grin spread and my arms out in my bloodstained Sunday's best,
and you'd hold me,
I'd remind you,
who you are, under their shell...
I'd walk through hell for you,
let it burn right through my shoes,
these soles are useless without you,
through hell for you,
let the torturing ensue my soul is useless without you...
and if they send a whirlwind id hug it like a harmless little tree,
or an earthquake,
I'd calm it,
and I'd bring you back to me,
and I'd hold you in my weak arms like a firstborn...
I'd walk through hell for you,
let it burn right through my shoes,
these soles are useless without you,
through hell for you,
let the torturing ensue my soul is useless without you...
Now I'd walk through hell for you.
Whats an adventurer to do but rest these feet at home with 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."
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Such a great song for telling someone you really care about them. Unfortunatly the person I was telling didn't care.
This song to me is about a guy that wants to show a girl her true worth. She keeps getting sucked in by guys that just tell her shit she wants to hear so they can get with her. She always gives in and hopes for the best, but it always ends the same. She doesn't think she's anything special to anyone, not even herself. This guy wants to show her how special she truly is and how he'll treat her right and not take advantage of her like the other guys. In a few words. It's about true love and opening someones eyes that they're more special than they think.
This song is awesome. I haven't heard it for a while, and I just started listening to it again. In my opinion, its about a guy who would do anything for a girl, regardless of what he loses because all he wants is her. He can't live without her, and he is saying he will go through the worst torture imaginable for a human to have her. Great song. Says a lot.
my boyfriend loves this song and he told me it was about the lead singers girlfriend being an alcoholic.
"1,2,3...
and if i could swim, i'd swim out to you in the ocean, swim out to where you were floating, in the dark,"
..the ocean is representing a bottle of alcohol. in the dark.. she's a closet drinker...
"and if I was blessed, id walk on the water you're breathing, to lend you some air for that heavin sunken chest,"
..i'll try my best if i can to help you out water your breathing.. she drinks so much like its water..
"cause they chose you as the model for their empty little dreams, with your new head and your legs spread like a filthy magazine, and they hunt you and they gut you and you give in,"
..she was beautiful, perhaps even a model, her new job started to put thoughts into her head, making her think differently, maybe even doing something she regrets. she can't say no, and goes along with it.
"and if I was brave, id climb up to you on the mountain, they led you to drink from their fountain, spouting lies,"
...I'll help you get through this. drink from the fountains = referring to more drinking / pressure from job spouting lies = all this drinking is causing her to lie more & more..
"and id slay the horrible beast they commissioned, to steer me away from my mission to your eyes,"
..I'll fight until you are entirely only mine. looking in your eyes gives me strength..
"and I'd stand there like a soldier with my foot upon his chest, with my grin spread and my arms out in my bloodstained Sundays best,"
..I wont stop until your mine..
"and you'd hold me, I'd remind you, who you are, under their shelves..."
..I love you, but stop lying..
"I'd walk through hell for you, let it burn right through my shoes, these soles are useless without you, through hell for you, let the torturing ensue my soul is useless without you..."
..I'd do anything for you bc I love you so much. there's no point of living if your not by my side...
"and if they send a whirlwind id hug it like a harmless little tree, or an earthquake, I'd calm it, and I'd bring you back to me, and I'd hold you in my weak arms like a firstborn..."
...throughout anything, I'll be there and protect you'll never get hurt we'll always be together your so precious ...
"Now id walk through hell for you. Whats an adventurer to do but rest these feet at home with you?"
..now that you just put me through hell, all i want to do is spend my life w/ you...
atleast that's what i think the song is about.. i can be wrong
My personal interpretation of the song is that he has experienced love for a girl who has gone to live in a hell-like sort of world. (It seems that she may possibly be a drug user, maybe a model for the centerfold, and have very love self-esteem) He wants to be in her life, and therefore he has to come into that hell in order to make her realize that there's something better out there... That the expectations of the people in her life aren't rational and that she does not have a price tag attached. To make her understand that she is her own person and she can have a great life like anybody should deserve.
and if i could swim i'd swim out to you in the ocean swim out to where you were floating in the dark meaning the SPERM .
and if i was blessed - BAPTISED ?
because they chose you as the model for their empty little dreams- THE MOTHER IS THE MODEL FOR CHILDREN
with your new head and your legs spread - THE MOTHER GIVING BIRTH
i'd climb up to you on the mountain they led you to drink from their fountain spouting lies - BREAST FEEDING . THE MOUNTAIN IS THE BREAST IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT AND THE FOUNTAIN IS THE MILK
well yeh --" that's what ii think LOL
"and if i could swim i'd swim out to you in the ocean swim out to where you were floating in the dark"
"and if i was blessed i'd walk on the water you're breathing to lend you some air for that heaving sunken chest"
"because they chose you as the model for their empty little dreams with your new head and your legs spread like a filthy magazine"
"and they hunt you and they gut you and you give in"
"and if i was brave i'd climb up to you on the mountain they led you to drink from their fountain spouting lies"
"and i'd slay the horrible beast they commissioned to steer me away from my mission to your eyes"
"and i'd stand there like a soldier with my foot upon his chest with my grin spread and my arms out in my bloodstained sunday's best"
"and you'd hold me i'd remind you who you are under their shell"
"i'd walk through hell for you let it burn right through my shoes these soles are useless without you let the torturing ensue my soul is useless without you"
"and if they sent a whirlwind i'd hug it like a harmless little tree or an earthquake i'd calm it and i'd bring you back to me and i'd hold you in my weak arms like a first born"
"now i walked through hell for you what's an adventurer to do but rest these feet at home with you"
This song is almost like a quest. In the end, after coming out victorious against trials, he wins the girl. That's the reason why I think the lyrics have "and if" and "and I'd". Also, 'slay'ing the beast, seems like slaying a drangon to save the damsel etc... the guy is just describing a scenario, which reminds the audience of a tale about a knight doing something noble. It makes it seem more romantic than him saying, "Yeah, ill just ignore what people say about you. I'll tell them to STFU."
I have actually cried a couple of times in the past when I listened to this song.
He's the only one that sees her clearly and he knows she's worth the work of enduring what other people say about her, and he was willing to save her from it all and make her remember who she really is.
"i'd walk through hell for you, let it burn right through my shoes, these soles are useless without you, through hell for you, let the torturing ensue my soul is useless without you..."
This is on the bottom of my shoes.
"i'd remind you, who you are, under their shelves"
Shell not selves
