This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
My achievements seem so humble
While you're making wine from water
While my hand work the cold soil
All you toch turns into gold
And I don't wanna be like you
I don't wanna be like you
It seems like you outrun me every time
I want to be you
Why can't I erase you from my mind
I don't wanna be like you
It seems like you outrun me every time
I want to be you
Why can't I erase you from my mind
All the heroes in the gutter
Finally get their ever after
As they lay their final glance
Upon your ever shining armor
And I don't want to be like you
I don't wanna be like you
It seems like you outrun me every time
I want to be you
Why can't I erase you from my mind
Looking from a distance,
The difference seems so small
Has the grass been greener
On the other side at all?
I don't wanna be like you
It seems like you outrun me every time
I want to be you
Why can't I erase you from my mind
I don't wanna be like you
It seems like you outrun me every time
I want to be you
Why can't I erase you from my mind
While you're making wine from water
While my hand work the cold soil
All you toch turns into gold
And I don't wanna be like you
I don't wanna be like you
It seems like you outrun me every time
I want to be you
Why can't I erase you from my mind
I don't wanna be like you
It seems like you outrun me every time
I want to be you
Why can't I erase you from my mind
All the heroes in the gutter
Finally get their ever after
As they lay their final glance
Upon your ever shining armor
And I don't want to be like you
I don't wanna be like you
It seems like you outrun me every time
I want to be you
Why can't I erase you from my mind
Looking from a distance,
The difference seems so small
Has the grass been greener
On the other side at all?
I don't wanna be like you
It seems like you outrun me every time
I want to be you
Why can't I erase you from my mind
I don't wanna be like you
It seems like you outrun me every time
I want to be you
Why can't I erase you from my mind

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Just A Little Lovin'

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/
American Town

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
So, what I know is the Christian symbolism. Perhaps someone can help with the parts I don't get?
It seems from some of these lines that the speaker is addressing Jesus:
"While you're making wine from water" Jesus first reveals himself as the Son of God by turning water into wine at a wedding
"All the heroes in the gutter Finally get their ever after As they lay their final glance Upon your ever shining armor"
This is a little more nebulous, the first one was very specific, but it does fit well with what the Bible says is going to happen after death. (The lowly will be exalted, the poor will inherit the Earth, etc.)
For the last two lines, I am not quite sure - either the armor is Jesus' which would make sense because we are supposed to meet Jesus after death - or a person in armor is killing the person? I do think the first interpretation makes more sense.
What I don't understand is the "outrun me" part and the "grass is greener" part.
@starwanderer It's about envy for christ's sake... (and not about him). The song title is INVIDIA, do the math ????
