This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
You were so young
And I guess I'm old
Open your eyes
I'll keep mine closed
I prefer standing
And you take your seat
I'll be wide awake
And you'll be asleep
And you'll fall down a hole
That's the one place we both know
You take me with you if you could, but I wouldn't go
I guess that sometimes we both loose our minds
To find a better road
I can be pensive
You can be so sure
You'll be the poison
You'll be the cure
I'm alone on the journey
I'm alive none the less
And when you do your very worst
Mm it feels the best
And you'll fall down a hole
That's the one place we both know
You take me with you if you could, but I wouldn't go
I guess sometimes we both loose our minds
To find a better road
And you'll fall down a hole
That's the one place in this world that we both know
You take me with you if you could
But if you could I'd lose everything
Can't you see the faces melting as the sun rains from their eyes
Who are you to keep your head with the hearts that you hand behind
Look at yourself, look in the mirror, don't you see a lie?
That you tell yourself again a thousand times
And the truth that makes us laugh will make you cry
You wanna die? No?
So you fall down a hole
That's the one place where we both know
You take me with you if you could, but I wouldn't go
Because sometimes we both loose our minds
To find a better road
And I guess I'm old
Open your eyes
I'll keep mine closed
I prefer standing
And you take your seat
I'll be wide awake
And you'll be asleep
And you'll fall down a hole
That's the one place we both know
You take me with you if you could, but I wouldn't go
I guess that sometimes we both loose our minds
To find a better road
I can be pensive
You can be so sure
You'll be the poison
You'll be the cure
I'm alone on the journey
I'm alive none the less
And when you do your very worst
Mm it feels the best
And you'll fall down a hole
That's the one place we both know
You take me with you if you could, but I wouldn't go
I guess sometimes we both loose our minds
To find a better road
And you'll fall down a hole
That's the one place in this world that we both know
You take me with you if you could
But if you could I'd lose everything
Can't you see the faces melting as the sun rains from their eyes
Who are you to keep your head with the hearts that you hand behind
Look at yourself, look in the mirror, don't you see a lie?
That you tell yourself again a thousand times
And the truth that makes us laugh will make you cry
You wanna die? No?
So you fall down a hole
That's the one place where we both know
You take me with you if you could, but I wouldn't go
Because sometimes we both loose our minds
To find a better road

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/

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
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.
prety sure its "don't you see the lie", cos then that would make sense, cos its followed by "that you tell yourself a thousand times. song meanings is such a great site, i've used it for a while now, but finally made an account. found this song through alice, and the melody and beats are truly amazing. defs a song worth of all americans. ignoring the fact that its for alice, my interperatation is that its about a lover talking about their counter part being more free - "you'd take me with you if you could but i wouldnt go" but i'm not too sure, hence why i'm here. fav line: you'll be the poison, you'll be the cure. gotta love oxymorons.
I, personally, think that this is the best song AAR has put out there. I loooove it. I actually haven't gotten around to seeing the movie yet, but if you didn't even know that this is from the soundtrack of Alice in Wonderland, it could have a meaning for the real world. My favorite part is when he sings 'and you fall down a hole', which could be the dark stage we sometimes have to go through. 'You'd take me with you if you could, but I wouldn't go.' That part makes me think that he wouldn't want to go, because he wouldn't want to knowingly step foot in the darker hours. Like depression or whatever. He is basically the light. Then he sings 'Because sometimes, we both lose our minds, and find a better road.' Which, to me, is like, after the depression, you find the light. You learn about life and yourself, and you find a better way to live it. There's beauty in the breakdown, literally. <br /> Idk, really. I think this song could have several meanings. I just like to think he's her rock. Through thick and thin.
