This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I hate this place,
I can barely keep the misery off my face.
Yeah, there's one place I'd much rather be,
Taking transfiguration and arithmancy
And hanging with my friends in the owlery,
But instead I'm learning parts of speech
And trying not to fall asleep,
And avoiding the only girl in school who might like me.
It's so grotesque
When the guy sitting next to me drools all over his desk,
And I almost raise my hand to complain,
But then I realize that I wanna be doing the same,
So I put my head down on my desk as well,
And suddenly I'm learning a spell
To make my teacher's head swell,
But then he wakes me up and I can't help but yell..
ENGORGIO!
This isn't Hogwarts,
This is a concrete box,
And the pictures on the wall are never gonna talk,
And the teachers don't care, and the kids don't try,
And the most magical thing we have is fluorescent lights,
And they don't put you in Hufflepuff if you're not cool,
Instead they sort you in the parking lot after school,
And I think if I looked into the Mirror of Erised
I'd be wearing wizard robes with gold and red.
I'm not saying I'm not proud to be a nerd,
But public school ain't no place for a wizard,
Public school ain't no place for a wizard.
Y'know what's gross,
When the lunch meat looks like three day old soggy toast,
But as I ate it anyway I overheard this guy I hardly know calling me a nerd,
So I cast Sectum Sempra on him inside my mind.
I wish there were house elves making my food,
And everything was perfectly spiced,
And the only one being rude was the poltergeist.
And here's what's true,
I'd do pretty much anything to go to wizard school,
I'd even call Dolores Umbridge my friend
If it meant I never had to go to gym again,
But I look around at all of this crap that's part of my life,
No ghosts stalking the halls or hanging in the bathroom stalls,
And the stairs don't move 'cause there's no stairs at all.
This isn't Hogwarts,
This is a concrete box,
And the pictures on the wall are never gonna talk,
And the teachers don't care, and the kids don't try,
And the most magical thing we have is fluorescent lights,
And they don't put you in Hufflepuff if you're not cool,
Instead they sort you in the parking lot after school,
And I think if I looked into the Mirror of Erised
I'd be wearing wizard robes with gold and red.
I'm not saying I'm not proud to be a nerd,
But public school ain't no place for a wizard,
Public school ain't no place for a wizard.
I can barely keep the misery off my face.
Yeah, there's one place I'd much rather be,

And hanging with my friends in the owlery,

@[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."
I Can't Go To Sleep

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'
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/
This song is exactly what every American public school student thinks every single school day of our miserable lives. Or at least, all the Harry Potter fans. The non-HP fans think something similar, just without the Hogwarts references.
