This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I remember the way,
Driving home late,
Speeding all the way.
Alone in the rain.
I was rehearsing a part
From down at the bar.
My mouth smelled like a drink
We were laughing, I think,
I've been away.
I've been away.
I've been away.
Do you pick up the phone,
Do you check your mail,
Do you answer your door even if it's late?
I don't know who to call,
I don't know who to write,
And I think I forgot
What your face looks like.
I've been away.
I've been away.
I've been away.
Do you think that I've changed?
I swear I never tried.
Memory is a terrible thing.
When you use it right.
I was rehearsing a part
From down at the bar.
My mouth smelled like a drink.
We were laughing, I think,
I've been away.
I've been away.
I've been away.
Driving home late,
Speeding all the way.
Alone in the rain.
I was rehearsing a part
From down at the bar.
My mouth smelled like a drink
We were laughing, I think,
I've been away.
I've been away.
I've been away.
Do you pick up the phone,
Do you check your mail,
Do you answer your door even if it's late?
I don't know who to call,
I don't know who to write,
And I think I forgot
What your face looks like.
I've been away.
I've been away.
I've been away.
Do you think that I've changed?
I swear I never tried.
Memory is a terrible thing.
When you use it right.
I was rehearsing a part
From down at the bar.
My mouth smelled like a drink.
We were laughing, I think,
I've been away.
I've been away.
I've been away.

Mountain Song

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."

Blue

Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Page

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.
To me, it sounds like someone who is recovering from a traumatic brain injury after an awful automobile collision "Driving home late, Speeding all the way. Alone in the rain."
My own cousin survived a such a collision. He recovered physical mobility but due to the brain injury continues to experience something akin to amnesia. Even to the extent that he maintains that his name is Joe rather than his actual name Mike. In some other ways he's as sharp or sharper than he was prior to his injury thirty some years ago but other ways quite obviously not.
