This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
driven out of bed with bright eyes
and yellow starlight,
fighting for a ghost of clarity
that slowly comes to me
by throwin' on a shirt and jeans
and a look of innocence
the red skies and gasoline
in the radiance,
burnin' on a stretch of concrete,
with a racin' heartbeat
tradin' in my years for hours
with the gods and cowards
and somewhere at the end of it
where the road becomes a fence,
she points into the infinite,
into the radiance
and she says,
"don't be fooled,
don't be fooled,
don't be fooled by the real thing"
out of sight, of mind, she chooses
for her scars and bruises
it hit like a pack of foul words
a spark confuses
i'm sittin' down the razor wire
i'm a captive of the ends
i see the search lights and forest fires
in the radiance
and she says,
"wait, wait, there it is--
don't be fooled,
don't be fooled,
don't be fooled by the real thing"
it's true,
it's true,
i believe
it's true
it's true
i believed her reasoning
"don't be fooled,
don't be fooled,
don't be fooled by the real thing"
"don't be fooled,
don't be fooled,
don't be fooled by the real thing"
and she says
"wait, wait, there it is"
and she says
"wait, wait"
and yellow starlight,
fighting for a ghost of clarity
that slowly comes to me
by throwin' on a shirt and jeans
and a look of innocence
the red skies and gasoline
in the radiance,
burnin' on a stretch of concrete,
with a racin' heartbeat
tradin' in my years for hours
with the gods and cowards
and somewhere at the end of it
where the road becomes a fence,
she points into the infinite,
into the radiance
and she says,
"don't be fooled,
don't be fooled,
don't be fooled by the real thing"
out of sight, of mind, she chooses
for her scars and bruises
it hit like a pack of foul words
a spark confuses
i'm sittin' down the razor wire
i'm a captive of the ends
i see the search lights and forest fires
in the radiance
and she says,
"wait, wait, there it is--
don't be fooled,
don't be fooled,
don't be fooled by the real thing"
it's true,

and she says

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”

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
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.
