This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
There's some things that I regret
Some words I wish had gone unsaid
Some starts
That had some bitter endings
Been some bad times I've been through
Damage I cannot undo
Some things
I wish I could do all, all over again
But it don't really matter
Life gets that much harder
It makes you that much stronger
Oh, some pages turned
Some bridges burned
But there were
Lessons learned
And every tear that had to fall from my eyes
Every day I wondered how I'd get through the night
Every change, life has thrown me
I'm thankful, for every break in my heart
I'm grateful, for every scar
Some pages turned
Some bridges burned
But there were lessons learned
There's mistakes that I have made
Some chances I just threw away
Some roads
I never should've taken
Been some signs I didn't see
Hearts that I hurt needlessly
Some wounds
That I wish I could have one more chance to mend
But it don't make no difference
The past can't be rewritten
You get the life you're given
Oh, some pages turned
Some bridges burned
But there were
Lessons learned
And every tear that had to fall from my eyes
Every day I wondered how I'd get through the night
Every change, life has thrown me
I'm thankful, for every break in my heart
I'm grateful, for every scar
Some pages turned
Some bridges burned
But there were lessons learned
And all the things that break you
Are all the things that make you strong
You can't change the past ('cause it's gone)
And you just gotta move on
Because it's all
Lessons learned
And every tear that had to fall from my eyes
Every day I wondered how I'd get through the night
From every change, life has thrown me
I'm thankful, for every break in my heart
I'm grateful, for every scar
Some pages turned
Some bridges burned
But there were lessons learned
Oh, some pages turned
Some bridges burned
But there were lessons learned
Lessons learned
Some words I wish had gone unsaid
Some starts
That had some bitter endings
Been some bad times I've been through
Damage I cannot undo
Some things
I wish I could do all, all over again
But it don't really matter
Life gets that much harder
It makes you that much stronger
Oh, some pages turned
Some bridges burned
But there were
Lessons learned
And every tear that had to fall from my eyes
Every day I wondered how I'd get through the night
Every change, life has thrown me
I'm thankful, for every break in my heart
I'm grateful, for every scar
Some pages turned
Some bridges burned
But there were lessons learned
There's mistakes that I have made
Some chances I just threw away
Some roads

Been some signs I didn't see
Hearts that I hurt needlessly

Some bridges burned
But there were lessons learned
Oh, some pages turned
Some bridges burned
But there were lessons learned
Lessons learned

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 Can't Go To Sleep

Wu-Tang Clan
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.

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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
some of the lyrics are wrong, you might want to edit that.
but anyways, i live by this song haha, it's so true. i LOVE carrie underwood!
It's about how life's lessons make you a stronger person. It's a really good song.
its talking about how all lifes experiences bring with them lessons... they make you stronger and prepare you for things to come... you learn from the past and use those lessons to better yourself in the future... wonderful song...
Learn from your mistakes, and do not live life in regret. Everything happens for a reason. Learn to accept the experiences you encounter, and learn from your life.
Yea Def Tru all above. Its an amazing song...
This song means that even though it hurt through life of whatever that has happened. It either was all worth it, or now you know not to do this, or not to that and all.
It means to accept the challenges that come along with life. When one door closes, keep walking until you find the window. Never give up on your dreams, and always believe in them because at the end of the day, all that matters is that you believed.
this is basically the song of my life. basically, anyone can relate. we've all been hurt, we've all hurt others, we have all made bad choices, we have all done stupid things, and we have all burned bridges. this song is basically saying to accept these challenges, and learn from them. and that these are the parts of life that make you. truest song ever, this should be one of her more popular songs, its just so relatable.
i really love this song. this has significant meaning to me. recently, my boyfriend whom i was madly in love and i went Im getting over it and ive realized that life goes on and the things that hurt you make you stronger,
I've been listening to this song a lot lately. I had a friend that I fought with who totally won't forgive me and asked me to leave her alone when I reached out to her. The message of this song for me in relation to it is that it's too late for that friendship and that all I can do is love her despite herself, but move on, and make the most of it by thinking before I act or speak next time...
