This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Packed everything you had into the car,
Rolled the whole thing into the lake,
Now there's nothing left to tie you to this place,
Except a heavy, sinking ache.
The water's surface settled down again,
With one more secret buried below.
That's one more life you've lived and left behind,
But it gets no easier to let go.
But running is the one thing that
You have always known just how to do,
Because the trouble up ahead might not
Be as bad as what's waiting here for you.
But you're so tired.
(running is the one thing that
you have always known just how to do)
You've grown so tired.
(because the trouble up ahead might not
be as bad as what's waiting here for you)
Rolled the whole thing into the lake,
Now there's nothing left to tie you to this place,
Except a heavy, sinking ache.
The water's surface settled down again,
With one more secret buried below.
That's one more life you've lived and left behind,
But it gets no easier to let go.
But running is the one thing that
You have always known just how to do,
Because the trouble up ahead might not
Be as bad as what's waiting here for you.
But you're so tired.
(running is the one thing that
you have always known just how to do)
You've grown so tired.
(because the trouble up ahead might not
be as bad as what's waiting here for 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."

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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
no comments? how is this?
this song is amazing. I love the first line of this song especially. There is something about the way he says it that makes it special.
either way. great song. "But running is the one thing that You have always known just how to do"
i'd say the meaning is fairly obvious. just generally well written.
i agree. this song is amazing. the strings at the end nearly bring tears. i get like that sometimes if a song is really that beautiful!
one question though, who do you think he's talking to?
I don't know for sure.
Obviously there's the boyfriend/girlfriend scene, a possible and logical subject for the song. However, some aspects leave you feeling as if he is talking to himself. I think it's very clever if that was the intention, because it's hard to do that effectively. Really, it's pretty general and open for interpretation.
Either way, Great Stuff.
yeah, i agree with you. it could go so many ways-- he could be talking to a lover, to himself, etc. What if he's (not necessarily the singer, but the speaker) talking to a parent?
if i used this for myself, it would be directed towards myself. i'm always moving from place to place hoping to find a fresh start.
I think you guys have just about covered it as far as meaning is concerned....so my two cents...
I absolutely love when the violins and cellos come in for the first time...just before "...but running is the one thing that....."
Gah. Effing amazing.
