This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Do you spend your whole life trying to get back home?
Where do you go?
Kino eyes unfold you in a Kodachrome
The feelings show
Oh what do you know, baby
What do you know
What do you know about where I come from?
What do you know
Tell me, what do you know
About who I am?
When I see you naked, I see more than flesh
Do you see the same thing?
Entertainment value
No, I couldn't care less
The feeling's hide
And you were so young, baby
You were so young
Dragging your feet in the face of creation
I was so young
Yeah, we were so young
And still there was you, the center of me
Oh and still there was you, the center of me
I don't know you, baby, you don't know me
We are just victims of the same situation
Baby's big war, tell what you die for
We were just born to lose this life
Could we please get married
Do this just for us?
The way we would do
It doesn't make much sense but maybe nothing does
It never will
And these gears years keep turning
These lives keep burning and
Love keeps changing around you
Stuck in one place, painting your face
The color of milk
The color of sky
The colors of you
The colors don't lie
And I don't know you, baby, you don't know me.
We are just victims of the same situation
Baby's big war, tell what you die for
Urges grow cold but the feeling stays
And what do you know
Tell me, what do you know?
You don't know me
Don't you question my love
And what do you know
Tell me, what do you know?
You don't know me
Don't you question my love
Where do you go?

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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."

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
Unless there's some official lyrics I missed, I think the line is "Kino eyes unfold you in a Kodachrome(TM), the feelings show."
Kino is how you say movie cinema in German. Kodachrome is a type of film. Also I think it's, "The feelings hide," not "high." It makes sense against the previous line where the "feelings show."
