This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Would you say that you wish you were worse than you are?
Would you say that you wish you were worse than you are?
See, you made up a list of your luckiest stars.
And you made me familiar to you in the dark, when you said that you wish you were worse than you are.
Hey you, with the gold which you keep or which keeps you in your place,
Do you recoil that its jail house green and copper taste?
Oh, do you love to dance with it hanging like some hula dress so lightly off your waist?
Was it magic or Midas that touched you?
And by magic, I mean “trickery.” And by Midas, I mean “faith.”
By magic, I mean “trickery.” And by Midas, I mean “faith.”
But the tricksters speak of trickery, ‘is your work the work of the Midas touch?’
‘Do you close your eyes when dancing, the same you close your eyes in your lover’s clutches?’
How dare I speak of trickery, I am not bestowed with the Midas’ touch.
I don’t close my eyes when I’m dancing the same way I close my eyes in my lover’s clutches.
How dare I speak of trickery, when the wild things in me are pulling at my sham?
You can follow the lead of the jackal to see where I am.
You can follow the lead of the jackal who waits for the kill to be made by a mightier hand.
You made up a list of your luckiest stars, and you made me familiar to you in the dark.
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
And you made me familiar to you in the dark, when you said that you wish you were worse than you are.
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
And you made up a list of your luckiest stars, and you made me familiar to you in the dark.
And you made me familiar to you in the dark, when you said that you wish you were worse than you are.
And I follow the lead of the jackal to see where you are.
Would you say that you wish you were worse than you are?
See, you made up a list of your luckiest stars.
And you made me familiar to you in the dark, when you said that you wish you were worse than you are.
Hey you, with the gold which you keep or which keeps you in your place,
Do you recoil that its jail house green and copper taste?
Oh, do you love to dance with it hanging like some hula dress so lightly off your waist?
Was it magic or Midas that touched you?
And by magic, I mean “trickery.” And by Midas, I mean “faith.”
By magic, I mean “trickery.” And by Midas, I mean “faith.”

You can follow the lead of the jackal who waits for the kill to be made by a mightier hand.
You made up a list of your luckiest stars, and you made me familiar to you in the dark.
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
And you made me familiar to you in the dark, when you said that you wish you were worse than you are.
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
And you made up a list of your luckiest stars, and you made me familiar to you in the dark.
And you made me familiar to you in the dark, when you said that you wish you were worse than you are.
And I follow the lead of the jackal to see where you are.

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."

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Head > Heels

Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Right. Time to get things clear.
Correct lyrics as written by Spencer Krug:
Would you say that you wish you were worse than you are? See you made up a list of your luckiest stars And you made me familiar to you in the dark When you said that you wish you were worse than you are
Hey you with the gold Which you keep (or whichh keeps you) in place Do you recoil from its jail house green and copper taste? Or do you love to dance With it hanging like some hula dress So lightly off your waist? Was it magic or midas that thouched you? And by magic I mean trickery and by midas I mean faith
But the sister speaks of trickery! Is your work the work of the midas touch? Do you close your eyes while you're dancing the same way You close your eyes in your lover's clutches? "How dare I speak of trickery I am not bestowed with the midas touch I don't close my eyes while I'm dancing The same way I close my eyes in my lover's clutches" How dare I speak of trickery When the wild things in me are pulling their sham You can follow the lead of the jackal to see whee I am You can follow the lead of the jackal Who waits for the kill to be made by a mightier hand And you make up a list of your luckiest stars And you made me familiar to you in the dark
You made up a list of your luckiest stars And you made me familiar to you in the dark You made me familiar to you in the dark And you said that you wished you were worse than you are
You made up a list of your luckiest stars And you made me familiar to you in the dark And you made me familiar to you in the dark When you said that you wish you were worse than you are Could I follow the lead of the jackal to see where you are?
(eter melodramatic sing-sighs)
Well, now that's cleared up - what does it mean? I think it's about different kinds of love - Magic: trickery - games, lies, deception Midas: faith - honesty, trust, love
When he's saying "hey you with the gold which keeps you (or which you keep) do you recoil from its jail house green and copper taste" - that's a direct reference (in my opinion) to a cheap wedding ring - it looks gold, and it keeps you because it's a wedding ring - but really it's just copper underneath - green and tastes like... copper. Tricks. Magic. Illusions.
"Or do you love to dance with it hanging like some hula dress so lightly off your waist" is that it doesn't really keep her - it's just another piece around her waist, another token, another affectation...
I could be waaaaay off.. But I think he's questioning whether the feeling is real or just illusions. That's what the song tells me.
