This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I knew I couldn't trust you back when we were kids
You sold me out, you ran and hid
From all your problems, can't even face your friends
Your best friends
You're holding something in tonight
And I can tell you're not all right
Your poker face concealing
All the cards that you're not dealing
Cross your arms, avert your eyes
You're like a child ashamed to cry
The words inside your head
When I find out, you'll wish you said
I let you down so many times
But I can't ever tell you this
There's no forgiving it
I promised you I'd always be there
But that couldn't be less true
It's the worst thing I could do
You're gonna bet it all on black
And when it's gone you'll want it back
'Cause truth don't mix with reason
And cheating's the ultimate treason
And I could see through you like glass
Slither around below the pass
Garden of Eden burning
It's a bitter fruit, you won't discern it
I let you down so many times
But I can't ever tell you this
There's no forgiving it
I promised you I'd always be there
But that couldn't be less true
It's the worst thing I could do
My loss, your gain
It didn't have to be this way
Across my face
[Incomprehensible]
Holding the pain, we're better off this way
We don't abstain, we're better off this way
Friends are in vain, we're better off this way
Better off this way
I knew I couldn't trust you back when we were kids
You sold me out, you ran and hid
From all your problems, can't even face your friend
Your best friend
I let you down so many times
But I can't ever tell you this
There's no forgiving it
I promised you I'd always be there
But that couldn't be less true
It's the worst thing I could do
You sold me out, you ran and hid
From all your problems, can't even face your friends
Your best friends
You're holding something in tonight
And I can tell you're not all right
Your poker face concealing
All the cards that you're not dealing
Cross your arms, avert your eyes
You're like a child ashamed to cry
The words inside your head
When I find out, you'll wish you said
I let you down so many times
But I can't ever tell you this
There's no forgiving it
I promised you I'd always be there
But that couldn't be less true
It's the worst thing I could do
You're gonna bet it all on black
And when it's gone you'll want it back
'Cause truth don't mix with reason
And cheating's the ultimate treason
And I could see through you like glass
Slither around below the pass
Garden of Eden burning
It's a bitter fruit, you won't discern it
I let you down so many times
But I can't ever tell you this
There's no forgiving it
I promised you I'd always be there
But that couldn't be less true
It's the worst thing I could do
My loss, your gain
It didn't have to be this way
Across my face
[Incomprehensible]
Holding the pain, we're better off this way
We don't abstain, we're better off this way

You sold me out, you ran and hid
From all your problems, can't even face your friend
Your best friend
I let you down so many times
But I can't ever tell you this
There's no forgiving it
I promised you I'd always be there
But that couldn't be less true
It's the worst thing I could do

Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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."
Magical

Ed Sheeran
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.
I agree with DiscoveringTheWaterfront, Its the guy's wife that's cheating on him with his best friend, and the guy knows its happening and his best friend can't bear to tell him. It ties in with the lyrics from "I Am The Arsonist" where it says:
"Throwing up with the thought of you two, How could you do this? My best friend with my bride, Now you tell me you are leaving."
Which explains this song. I wish they would have had a guest singer on this song or something for the chorus or the screaming, so its more apparent that its from two different perspectives, still a good song though.
