This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Someday I'll toss all your presents
And bury the letters left unsent
'Cos it's bad to do what's easy
Just 'cos it's easy
And I wanna do what pleases me but I can't
And the road, she'd roll round the side of the mountain
With nowhere to go
But the heart, we know
When it's needin', it's careenin' toward bein' alone
Someday I'll find the mind to mend it
And make dry these eyes I've gotten wet
'Cos it's bad to do what's easy just 'cos it's easy
And I wanna do what pleases me but I can't
The crow, he'd mow half the grass on the knoll
With nowhere to go
But the heart, we know
When it's lovin', it's leanin' toward bein' alone
And the oats we sow
They could seed on forever with nowhere to grow
But the heart, we know
When it's askin' its exact twin, it will not be alone
And bury the letters left unsent
'Cos it's bad to do what's easy
Just 'cos it's easy
And I wanna do what pleases me but I can't
And the road, she'd roll round the side of the mountain
With nowhere to go
But the heart, we know
When it's needin', it's careenin' toward bein' alone
Someday I'll find the mind to mend it
And make dry these eyes I've gotten wet
'Cos it's bad to do what's easy just 'cos it's easy
And I wanna do what pleases me but I can't
The crow, he'd mow half the grass on the knoll
With nowhere to go
But the heart, we know
When it's lovin', it's leanin' toward bein' alone
And the oats we sow
They could seed on forever with nowhere to grow
But the heart, we know
When it's askin' its exact twin, it will not be alone

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."

someday i'll toss all your presents and bury the letters left unsent cause it's bad to do what's easy just cause it's easy and i wanna do what pleases me but i can't
the road, she'd roll round the side of the mountain with nowhere to go but the heart, we know, when it's needin it's careenin toward bein alone
someday i'll find the mind to mend it and make dry these eyes i've gotten wet cause it's bad to do what's easy just cause it's easy i wanna do what pleases me but i can't
the crow, he'd mow half the grass on the knoll with nowhere to go but the heart, we know, when it's lovin it's leanin toward bein alone
the oats we sow, they could seed on forever with nowhere to grow but the heart, we know, when it's askin its exact twin it will not be alone
funny how this song once brought me so much happiness now the lyrics have become my life. started out as our song, ended up as just mine.
I think the obvious here is that she just can't let go of that someone whom she had loved. "Some day I'll toss all your letters" - She just can't accept that it's over.
Though, there is an underlying meaning here because of all the references to different things. I really enjoy this song.
this song is spectacular, its like somewhere between milk-eyed mender and ys. im surprised it hasnt attracted much attention here yet
this song is amazing, i love how its got such a strong feeling to it. she usually has good songs but this one is a lot bolder, theres more depth to it i guess
No one could write a song like this woman does, simple but I find it so amazing. i think she's basically saying that she's not okay with ending a relationship with someone but she will be.
This song makes me so sad, because it reminds me so much of my situation.
These are the lyrics.

Obviously, this is a breakup song. But maybe, they didn't break up. I think he died and she can't get over it. If he'd be alive, he would take all his things from her eyes but he didn't. He was sick for a long time. The easy thing to do was leaving him to die alone in the hospital. But she couldn't, and now, she suffers. He died, she saw all his pain, there was nothing she could do. And she can't do nothing after his death.
