This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Alright so this is a song about anyone, it could be anyone
You're just doing your own thing and some one comes out the blue
They're like, "Alright"
He's saying, "Yeah can I take your digits?"
And you're like, "No not in a million years, you're nasty
Please leave me alone"
Cut to the pub on a lads night out
Man at the bar cos it was his shout
Clocks this bird and she looks okay
Caught him looking and she walks his way,
"Alright darlin, you gonna buy us a drink then?"
"Err no, but I was thinking of buying one for your friend"
She's got no taste hand on his waste, tries to pull away but her lips on his face
"If you insist I'll have a white wine spritzer"
"Sorry love, but you ain't a pretty picture"
Can't knock 'em out, can't walk away
Try desperately to think of the politest way to say
Just get out my face, just leave me alone
And no you cant have my number
"Why?" 'Cause I've lost my phone
Oh yeah, actually yeah I'm pregnant
Having a baby in like six months so no, and yeah, yeah
"I recognise this guy"
That's what she's thinking
As he comes over her heart starts sinking
She's like, "Oh here we go"
It's a routine check that she already knows
She's thinking they're all the same
"Yeah you alright baby?
You look alright still, yeah what's your name?"
She looks in her bag, takes out a fag
Tries to get away from the guy on a blag, can't find a light
"Here, use mine"
"You see the thing is I really don't have the time"
Can't knock 'em out (can't knock 'em out), can't walk away (can't walk away)
Try desperately to think of the politest way to say
(Uhm I'm really sorry but not this time) Just get out my face, just leave me alone
And no you cant have my number
'Cause I've lost my phone
Go away now, let me go
Are you stupid? Or just a little slow?
Go away now I've made myself clear
Nah it's not gonna happen
Not in a a million years
Can't knock 'em out (can't knock 'em out), can't walk away (can't walk away)
Try desperately to think of the politest way to say
Just get out my face, just leave me alone
And no you cant have my number
'Cause I've lost my phone
Can't knock 'em out, can't walk away
Try desperately to think of the politest (I'm actually getting married next week) way to say
Just get out my face, just leave me alone (no, seriously)
And no you cant have my number
'Cause I've lost my phone
Nah, I've gotta go 'cause my house is on fire
I've got herpes, err no, I've got syphilis
You're just doing your own thing and some one comes out the blue
They're like, "Alright"
He's saying, "Yeah can I take your digits?"
And you're like, "No not in a million years, you're nasty
Please leave me alone"

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."

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
My favourite Lily song! I think we get the song meaning, my interpretation is that it's about guy who come up to you believing it'ts in your best interest to give them your number and you basically fob them off with a load of lie to make them go away!
