This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Lonely men built lonely cities
She worked hard until she was beautiful
Still he noticed nothing unusual, this was his way
He's gonna stay devoted to the project
And she's committed herself to not caring anymore
Her heart wasn't sore, she was sure she had cured
The burden of loving someone
May be better than loving no one
She's lookin' up, her mind says maybe
Or else she's so crazy it's slavery
To begin it again, pick it up from the end
Save the pieces that never gave, never bend
Still, the whole time there's this light
It wont let her say goodnight
Some white beam of hope in the sky
Has her questioning why
Has her constantly tryin' and lyin' inside
Has her hidin' away like some potential bride
Who keeps turnin' her back like the turn of the tide
The burden of loving someone
May be better than loving no one
The burden of loving someone
May be better than loving no one
When you feel what you're feelin' with all of your might
You write down to tell and sing like hell in the night
'Bout the man on your mind when you turn out the light
Who ignited the room when invited inside
Who now is long gone and despite how forthright
Was the song you played just to show how uptight
And embarrassed he made you, your loves stay strong
Convincing words appear backwards and wrong
It just doesn't make sense to want to belong
With a guy who made you all tense and withdrawn
It shows you in the corner where the walls shadows
Silhouette the one you won't let go who hasn't arrived yet
And he won't, you know, you can just forget about him though
The burden of loving someone
May be better than loving no one
The burden of loving someone
May be better than loving no one
I'm not so sure about that, it's not matter of fact
If the world fell in half are you for it
Adoring to kick back, relax, and laugh and deplore
Cursin' all of the fools who exist to implore
Writing books cursing morons who tore
What they swore gave them reasons to be:
I love him, he loves me
And the burden of loving someone
May be better than loving no one
The burden of loving someone
May be better
She worked hard until she was beautiful
Still he noticed nothing unusual, this was his way
He's gonna stay devoted to the project
And she's committed herself to not caring anymore
Her heart wasn't sore, she was sure she had cured
The burden of loving someone
May be better than loving no one
She's lookin' up, her mind says maybe
Or else she's so crazy it's slavery
To begin it again, pick it up from the end
Save the pieces that never gave, never bend
Still, the whole time there's this light
It wont let her say goodnight
Some white beam of hope in the sky
Has her questioning why
Has her constantly tryin' and lyin' inside
Has her hidin' away like some potential bride
Who keeps turnin' her back like the turn of the tide
The burden of loving someone
May be better than loving no one
The burden of loving someone
May be better than loving no one
When you feel what you're feelin' with all of your might
You write down to tell and sing like hell in the night
'Bout the man on your mind when you turn out the light
Who ignited the room when invited inside
Who now is long gone and despite how forthright
Was the song you played just to show how uptight
And embarrassed he made you, your loves stay strong
Convincing words appear backwards and wrong
It just doesn't make sense to want to belong
With a guy who made you all tense and withdrawn

Silhouette the one you won't let go who hasn't arrived yet
And he won't, you know, you can just forget about him though
The burden of loving someone
May be better than loving no one
The burden of loving someone
May be better than loving no one
I'm not so sure about that, it's not matter of fact
If the world fell in half are you for it
Adoring to kick back, relax, and laugh and deplore
Cursin' all of the fools who exist to implore

I love him, he loves me
And the burden of loving someone
May be better than loving no one
The burden of loving someone
May be better

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."

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
