This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I hate everything I am becoming
This change is torture
There is never enough to give, only plenty to take
And this I wage
When the ground parts from below, will it feel so?
How can I gain from another when the other goes?
This hand, this hurt, my heart
I'll flirt with disaster
Just know now, man, the deal is off
I'll be no good, this time defines
I'll put my touch around the grip of this knife
These dirty hands just won't come clean
I'm a murderer, the worst these worlds will see
Mercy, please leave her just a little bit longer
She's all my world
My love, I apologize, with that you will see the end of days
Just rest assured
'Cause they won't let her go
And I will remain so alone
To work on a clever way to get her home
I will do what I must
I'll flirt with disaster
Just know now, boy, you're out of luck
I'll be no good, this time defines
I'll put my touch around the grip of this knife
These dirty hands just won't come clean
I'm a murderer, the worst these worlds will see
Oh, save me from defeat again
This is war
Murdered the one so close
While she trusts, you curse
"Die, my darling"
If only you'd known
How lovely you glow in the flame of error
Oh, I ask too much
Please, turn back the clock and take me instead
How have you come to lose
The only thing, the other one to your two?
I've become the wrong in everyone's sleep
Please burn me a god
I'll be no good, this time defines
I'll put my touch around the grip of this knife
These dirty hands just won't come clean
I'm a murderer, the worst these worlds will see
Oh, save me from defeat again
This is war
Murdered the one so close
While she trusts, you curse
"Die, my darling"
I'll be no good, this time defines
I'll put my touch around the grip of this knife
These dirty hands just won't come clean
I'm a murderer, the worst these worlds will see
Oh, save me from defeat again
Oh, save me from defeat again
This change is torture
There is never enough to give, only plenty to take
And this I wage
When the ground parts from below, will it feel so?
How can I gain from another when the other goes?
This hand, this hurt, my heart
I'll flirt with disaster
Just know now, man, the deal is off
I'll be no good, this time defines
I'll put my touch around the grip of this knife
These dirty hands just won't come clean
I'm a murderer, the worst these worlds will see
Mercy, please leave her just a little bit longer
She's all my world
My love, I apologize, with that you will see the end of days
Just rest assured
'Cause they won't let her go
And I will remain so alone

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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."
No Surprises

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.
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/
NOVEL SPOILERS FOLLOW.
"I'll be no good this time defines, I'll put this touch around the grip of this knife These dirty hands just won't come clean. I'm a murderer, the worst these worlds will see. Oh, save me from defeat again, This is war Murder the one so close, while she trusts, you curse, Die, my darling!" (As a sidenote, holy fuck this song is amazing. Story-wise and emotionally it is far more powerful to me after reading the book.)
To me this song is about Hohenberger (again! all of them seem to be!) and the fact that his creation of the Monstar has/will render(ed) him a murderer at some point. There's a point where Pearl tells him that the activation of the Monstar will kill her anyway, and that he's a fool for sacrificing millions for her life.
"If only you know how lovely you glow in the flame of error Oh, I ask too much Please turn back the clock and take me instead."
Just listened to this and holy CRAP its amazing!
Could be "Mercy, please LEAVE HER just a little bit longer" either one could work though.
I'll burn with disaster, just know now boy YOU'RE at a low
please turn BACK the clock
the first time i heard the chorus i thought he said "I'll put my torch 'round the brick this night". didn't make sense, but it sounded epic. XD
Anyone know what the last line of the chorus is? I can't make it out.
I think this is one of my absolute favorites.
ridiculously epic. my god.
"my love, i apologize, with that you will see the END OF DAYS" instead of "you will see me in this daze"
"I'll be home, the road in everyone's sleep" I think it is "I'll become the wrong in everyone's sleep"
Also for the chorus, I think it is "I'll be no good this time DEFIED" rather than defined.
I'm not sure, I can hear the 'ined'part when he sings it. You're right about the toher line though.
I'm 1000% sure its not "The deal is off" however I have no idea what it is either.
I actually hear the deal is off fairly clearly... But I guess I could be wrong.
