This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
If I had any meaning in this ol big world
Can you tell a lost and lonely girl
If I was happy for a day I'd risk it all
That's why when I'm with I'm not afraid to fall
And if you left me, and if you leave me
At least I'd have a cherish all the memories
I've been having trouble
With keeping up this smile
I've been having trouble
Hurting for quite a while
And I'm feeling stupid
Cause I did it to me
And I'm feeling desperate
From being unhappy
Why'd you leave me like this?
With scars across my heart and on my wrists
When I looked in your eyes
I didn't know happiness had a price
And you take advantage of a simple heartbreak
At least you had to love to know how to ache
But don't, hesitate to let your feelings be known
It's better to love and lose then just be alone
And if they left you, and if they leave you
At least you know in their heart they will always keep you
I've been having trouble
With keeping up this smile
I've been having trouble
Hurting for quite a while
And I'm feeling stupid
Cause I did it to me
And I'm feeling desperate
From being unhappy
Why'd you leave me like this?
With scars across my heart and on my wrists
When I looked in your eyes
I didn't know happiness had a price
I'm feeling broken
Scattered pieces on the ground
I'm feeling desperate now
Can abandoned souls be found
I've been having trouble
With keeping up this smile
I've been having trouble
Hurting for quite a while
And I'm feeling stupid
Cause I did it to me
And I'm feeling desperate
From being unhappy
Why'd you leave me like this?
With scars across my heart and on my wrists
When I looked in your eyes
I didn't know happiness had a price
Can you tell a lost and lonely girl
If I was happy for a day I'd risk it all
That's why when I'm with I'm not afraid to fall
And if you left me, and if you leave me
At least I'd have a cherish all the memories
I've been having trouble
With keeping up this smile
I've been having trouble
Hurting for quite a while
And I'm feeling stupid
Cause I did it to me
And I'm feeling desperate
From being unhappy
Why'd you leave me like this?
With scars across my heart and on my wrists
When I looked in your eyes
I didn't know happiness had a price
And you take advantage of a simple heartbreak
At least you had to love to know how to ache
But don't, hesitate to let your feelings be known
It's better to love and lose then just be alone
And if they left you, and if they leave you
At least you know in their heart they will always keep you
I've been having trouble
With keeping up this smile
I've been having trouble
Hurting for quite a while
And I'm feeling stupid
Cause I did it to me
And I'm feeling desperate
From being unhappy
Why'd you leave me like this?
With scars across my heart and on my wrists
When I looked in your eyes
I didn't know happiness had a price
I'm feeling broken
Scattered pieces on the ground
I'm feeling desperate now
Can abandoned souls be found
I've been having trouble
With keeping up this smile
I've been having trouble
Hurting for quite a while
And I'm feeling stupid
Cause I did it to me
And I'm feeling desperate
From being unhappy
Why'd you leave me like this?
With scars across my heart and on my wrists
When I looked in your eyes
I didn't know happiness had a price

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."

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.
I agree this is the best one off of the CD...
