This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Slowly walking down the street
Where the homeless and the lovers meet
I bask in ol' blue
Your skin does too
I saw the garland
In the skyline
In the byline
I took a drink
I took the pills
You'll murder me I know you will
Some wish that I could change this
That you were hopin'
I keep hopin'
For a cure
For some medicine
Just one conversation
I can't return to you
You must return to me
That's the deal
I'm sorry
Did I say I'm sorry (sorry)
In a universe where I was flat
You hunkered down and lived the past
You're leaving soon
It's 10 til noon
I see a black car
I'm movin through time
When will we part
I have been the worst of kinds
A sorrowed heart
A cluttered mind
And I'm thinkin' that I could change this
That I could change this
But I can't change this
I can't return to you
You must return to me
That's the deal
I'm sorry
Did I say I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry now
I can't return to you
You must return to me
That's the deal
I'm sorry
Did I say I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry now
Did I say I'm sorry
Did I say I miss you
I'll do what I have to do
(I say I miss you)
(I miss you)
(I'll do what I have to do)
Where the homeless and the lovers meet
I bask in ol' blue
Your skin does too
I saw the garland
In the skyline
In the byline
I took a drink
I took the pills
You'll murder me I know you will
Some wish that I could change this
That you were hopin'
I keep hopin'
For a cure
For some medicine
Just one conversation
I can't return to you
You must return to me
That's the deal
I'm sorry
Did I say I'm sorry (sorry)
In a universe where I was flat
You hunkered down and lived the past
You're leaving soon
It's 10 til noon
I see a black car
I'm movin through time
When will we part
I have been the worst of kinds
A sorrowed heart
A cluttered mind
And I'm thinkin' that I could change this
That I could change this
But I can't change this
I can't return to you
You must return to me
That's the deal
I'm sorry
Did I say I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry now
I can't return to you
You must return to me
That's the deal
I'm sorry
Did I say I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry now
Did I say I'm sorry
Did I say I miss you
I'll do what I have to do
(I say I miss you)
(I miss you)
(I'll do what I have to do)

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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.
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.
Couple of mistakes in the lyrics:
Verse 1,Line 3: The bars glow blue
V2, L4: So I'm wishin', that I could change this V2, L4: That you would open,
V4, L1: (I think it should be "In a verse where all is flat". That relates to this being a song, and the depressing mood relates to the "flat" notes. Not too sure. I like this better, but either goes.) V4, L2: You hunkered down and re-lived the past. V4, L6: I'm moving through tar, V4, L7: When we're apart.
The title being "Return To Me", it doesn't make sense asking when they're going to split up.
The term "tar" is a pun, for the roadworks, relating to the car, and cigarrette tar. It's these cases it is thick and toxic respectively. Moving through something thick means you move slowly. Something toxic hurts you. In other words, he is slowly moving on, but it still hurts.
"Open" up and "conversation" go together too, as do the "bar" and the "drink". The homeless drink to overcome pain, and the lovers drink to loosen up. This fits in with the bar idea better than basking in moonlight.
You'll notice that things are coupled up in this song, but the words appear in different areas, symbolizing this broken relationship he's in. If you think about it that way, listen to the song again, and you'll see why these lyrics work better with the meaning.
I think the underlying plot is overcoming death. It is conveyed as a romantic relationship on top, but clearly about death with the whole "I can't return to you" thing.
Well, that's pretty much my 20 cents. :P
