This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
We'll wake up your mothers, we'll start a commotion
We'll take you apart, we'll swallow the ocean
And just when you've labeled us one of your types
We'll fly our flag right up up out of your sky
So puff out your chest in some weird dusty fight
We're taking no part in your cracked antique life
We're believing everything that we have heard
We're taking our turn with the kids that don't learn
You know I'm going to take my turn
Let us be free, let us sing songs along
The bottoms of barrels , let us be free
So out come you clowns, all you wolves, all you martyrs
You holy rat rattlers, holy found fathers
We're selling ourselves so ourselves can find
We're living at night trying to pull out the light
We'll turn up the heat as we burn up you boxes
We'll loosen our wrists as we fill in your foxholes
You've got your bad apples to ruin your bunch
Yeah we're all right here so you better eat up
Oh yeah, there's nothing you can do
If you want me here, you can have me here
If you want me now, you can have me now
If you want me down, I will get really low
You better believe I'll be down by your shoes
If you want it all, you can have it all
If you want some more, come and get some more
'cause the dirt feels good when you're underground
You better believe that we're all getting down
You know that us feral kids love straying about
So start giving in, yeah you better get down
We'll take you apart, we'll swallow the ocean
And just when you've labeled us one of your types
We'll fly our flag right up up out of your sky
So puff out your chest in some weird dusty fight
We're taking no part in your cracked antique life
We're believing everything that we have heard
We're taking our turn with the kids that don't learn
You know I'm going to take my turn
Let us be free, let us sing songs along
The bottoms of barrels , let us be free
So out come you clowns, all you wolves, all you martyrs
You holy rat rattlers, holy found fathers
We're selling ourselves so ourselves can find
We're living at night trying to pull out the light
We'll turn up the heat as we burn up you boxes
We'll loosen our wrists as we fill in your foxholes
You've got your bad apples to ruin your bunch
Yeah we're all right here so you better eat up
Oh yeah, there's nothing you can do
If you want me here, you can have me here
If you want me now, you can have me now
If you want me down, I will get really low
You better believe I'll be down by your shoes
If you want it all, you can have it all
If you want some more, come and get some more
'cause the dirt feels good when you're underground
You better believe that we're all getting down
You know that us feral kids love straying about
So start giving in, yeah you better get down

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”
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."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Makes me think of just an anthem for the youth.
"if you want me here, you can have me here if you want me now, you can have me now if you want me down, oh i will get real low" i love that part! this song just feels young and care free.
i saw them in atlanta and they opened with this song. i have thier t-shirt that says, "let us be free."
i love tilly.
oh I love
Bottom of Barrell's Night of the Living Dead.
Not the same meaning, close, but different. It brings out of me the same emotions. Just... well...
AHHHHHHH.
Oh and can i say i LOVE the drum line in this song.
It's not drums, just tap dancing. I actually never noticed until I saw them in concert.
this is such a fantastic 9/11 tribute song
Yep, Jamie, the tap dancer, stood in for them when they first formed, initially until they got a drummer, but then it just stuck and now it's got the band really admired! I love this song, it's so upbeat.
why isnt there WAY more comments, this is one of the best tilly songs ever!!! i cant wait to see them live, they are coming to atlanta soon, this song is a really good song to break it down to, i always do!!!!:)
