This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I was sitting on my doorstep
I hung up the phone and it fell out of my hand
But I knew I had to do it
And he wouldn't understand
So hard to see myself without him
I felt a piece of my heart break
But when you're standing at a crossroad
There's a choice you gotta make
I guess it's gonna have to hurt
I guess I'm gonna have to cry
And let go of some things I've loved
To get to the other side
I guess it's gonna break me down
Like fallin' when I'm try to fly
It's sad but sometimes
Moving on with the rest of your life
Starts with goodbye
I know there's a blue horizon
Somewhere up ahead, just waiting for me
Getting there means leaving things behind
Sometimes life's so bitter sweet
I guess it's gonna have to hurt
I guess I'm gonna have to cry
And let go of some things I've loved
To get to the other side
I guess it's gonna break me down
Like fallin' when I'm try to fly
It's sad but sometimes
Moving on with the rest of your life
Starts with goodbye
Time heals the wounds that you feel
Somehow, right now
I guess it's gonna have to hurt
I guess I'm gonna have to cry
And let go of some things I've loved
To get to the other side
I guess it's gonna break me down
Like fallin' when I'm try to fly
It's sad but sometimes
Moving on with the rest of your life
Starts with goodbye
I guess I'm gonna have to cry
And let go of some things I've loved
To get to the other side
Start with goodbye
Like fallin' when you try to fly
It's sad but sometimes
Moving on with the rest of your life
Starts with goodbye
I hung up the phone and it fell out of my hand
But I knew I had to do it
And he wouldn't understand
So hard to see myself without him
I felt a piece of my heart break
But when you're standing at a crossroad
There's a choice you gotta make
I guess it's gonna have to hurt
I guess I'm gonna have to cry
And let go of some things I've loved
To get to the other side
I guess it's gonna break me down
Like fallin' when I'm try to fly
It's sad but sometimes
Moving on with the rest of your life
Starts with goodbye
I know there's a blue horizon
Somewhere up ahead, just waiting for me
Getting there means leaving things behind
Sometimes life's so bitter sweet
I guess it's gonna have to hurt
I guess I'm gonna have to cry
And let go of some things I've loved
To get to the other side
I guess it's gonna break me down
Like fallin' when I'm try to fly
It's sad but sometimes
Moving on with the rest of your life

To get to the other side
Start with goodbye
Like fallin' when you try to fly
It's sad but sometimes
Moving on with the rest of your life

Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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."

“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.
I don't think this is about a typical break-up. I think it's like indie girl says. I think that something happened, a catalyst that makes it impossible for them to be together. Since Underwood DOES have many college references - maybe she was accepted to where she wanted - needed? - to go and was so surprised, because she didn't expect it, that she "dropped the phone."
this song is truly amazing. carrie tells the story of every breakup thats ever taken place in one simple song. its beautiful, definately buy the cd if you havent yet.
wow i can really relate to this song! i love carrie!
I adore this song.... It's defininetly a breakup song and you know that in the song she really doesn't want to do it but she knows she has to. It's that point of the relationship when you love them so much and leaving them is like seriously leaving a part of your heart behind and you don't want to do it, but you know you have to. So she finally does it, and she drops the phone because she can't believe that she did it. She knows that he wouldn't understand her choice and that he was probably mad at her, but like the song says, it's a crossroad and sometimes you really, really just have to do what's best for you-- in the relationship or not. In this case, she decided that the relationship wasn't worth it and she needed to move on. She knows it's going to hurt, and she knows she's going to cry about it. She ultimately will have to move on over time, and she knows that she needs to do this. But you absolutely cannot move on with your life, until you break up, and she's made the first step.
i definatly agree. im listening to the cd right now actually...and i think its a great cd and you all should buy it. i dont really even like country music but this cd is truly great :)
i love this song... i think its like she loves him but for whatever reason she cant be with him... she knows its going to break her heart but she knows its the only choice she has... so she breaks up with him... knowing she will move on eventually so she does it... letting go... knowing that if she loves him she has to do it... so she does... great song!!! i love it
you guys actually buys the cd's!! how stupid
I actually think that at the beginning, the narrator is talking about a call from a doctor saying that she's pregnant or has a disease. She doesn't want to hurt her boyfriend (or, because of being pregnant, has the fear that he'll leave her), so she leaves him first.
...Yeah. That's all I have to comment on. =] It's a good song, though, which I have fallen in love with.
I don't nessecerily see it as a breakup song... Obviously it can be one, but I can see this fitting in many many other situations.
it's a breakup song. nothing more. the girl loves the guy so much and she wants to be with him so bad and vice versa but i guess she doesnt think she can. she doesnt know that he misses her so much and would die for her. maybe one day she'll realize he loves her more than the world.
