This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Muddy trail beside the water
Leads the lambs into the slaughter
Hands and knees, we all atone
Path is paved with blood and bone
Trembly hands reveal their purpose
Blisters form beneath the surface
No one gonna make us leave
We're the ones that still believe
Fear comes piercing through the silence
In the air, the scent of violence
Watching from above the trees
We're the ones that still believe
We're the ones that still believe
We're the ones that still believe
Leads the lambs into the slaughter
Hands and knees, we all atone
Path is paved with blood and bone
Trembly hands reveal their purpose
Blisters form beneath the surface
No one gonna make us leave
We're the ones that still believe
Fear comes piercing through the silence
In the air, the scent of violence
Watching from above the trees
We're the ones that still believe
We're the ones that still believe
We're the ones that still believe

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."
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
"BLOODY trail beside the water / Leads the lambs into the slaughter" means to me we are the lambs of god and we can see something wrong is going on but since we all play follow the leader we are lead to our death. We help destroy ourselves.
"Hands and knees, we all atone / Path is paved with blood and bone" were on our hands and knees and the path were on is paved in the blood and bones of our own kind via war hatred for one another and so on.
"Trembly hands reveal their purpose / Blisters form beneath the surface" again we can see their hands shaking/trembling and know whats coming.
"No one gonna make us leave / We're the ones that still believe" no one can kill us all off and there are still ones that believe in the right. They are the ones that see and tell others to look.
Second half
"Fear comes piercing through the silence / In the air, the scent of violence / Watching from above the trees" angels are watching from above in silence and they can sence violence. They watch from above the trees as we fight and destroy each other over NOTHING.
these are my thoughts on the song. :)
Its about religion + destruction
(Christianity or Islam, you decide)
Muddy trail beside the water - The water is religion, the muddy trail is fundamentalists Leads the lambs into the slaughter - leads the brainwashed to do things like kill and blow themselves up. Hands and knees, we all atone - we will all pay for this Path is paved with blood and bone - with our dead loved ones Trembling hands reveal their purpose - Nervous hands reveal a bomb Blisters form beneath the surface - blisters form under the skin of those near No one gonna make us leave - nobody can talk them out of this brainwashed state We're the ones that still believe - believers have to do it themselves
Fear comes piercing through the silence - when the belief causes fear of others In the air, the scent of violence - an eye for an eye Watching from above the trees - Watching from our buildings We're the ones that still believe - we bow to the gods at our own peril
Each track on the album is about how to "destroy angels".
your taking this song way to literally it does make obvious refernces to christianity in most of the first part (psalm 23:something "the lord is my sheperd he leadeth me by the still waters........") christians pray for atonement for their sins on their hands and knees, and 9 times out of 10 peoples hands tremble when they have ill intentions and are about to act on them (try it) as for the line about blisters, I cant really explain it with words its more of a feeling you wouldn
t understand unless you
ve felt it. in short the whole song is painting a mental image of christians preying on the worldI love the song, not to much of a clue what it means, but i love it.
Maybe we are all on a path towards death and there is really no stopping it. Or possible the singer is a 'god' that is saying nobody truly believes in them anymore, and humanity is all destined for death. Again i have no clue.
BLOODY trail beside the water Leads the lambs into the slaughter Hands and knees, we all atone Path is paved with blood and bone Trembly hands reveal their purpose Blisters form beneath the surface No one gonna make us leave We're the ones that still believe
Fear comes piercing through the silence In the air, the scent of violence Watching from above the trees We're the ones that still believe We're the ones that still believe We're the ones that still believe
I had similar thoughts as the previous two posts. Really seems similar to "Right in Two" by Tool.
blueox01 - I find your interpretation to be pretty close-minded, also how convinced and definite you present it. However, I don't mean to insult or attack you.
I believe the album is about how people are ruined by what's around them. They're "angels" being destroyed. It is talking about human society and how it changes people. This song in particular, about how people walk the same path, maybe even knowing it is wrong, led by people knowing where it leads to, yet feeling unable to leave it, simply because it's hard or they have been destroyed and given up. Most people think they're "survivors", haven't "given up", tell others "not to give up", while in the end, they're the ones who've given up themselves and everything around them, now being a regular, living part of the society and world they find to be wrong in so many ways.
Greetings brother,<br /> <br /> I am not insulted by your incoherent statements.<br /> <br /> Sorry if my interpretation of the song is provocative. The song itself may have been conceived with that in mind.<br /> <br /> We are the angels (us and other life forms). And we are in eden. We have risen to the top and now we need to take care of the lower life forms and establish a working cooperative worldwide society. Old tribal psychology and poor religious explanations for our origin stand in the way of this goal. Do not worry though, our open divergent society will one day dilute the the foundations of these ancient traditions so much that they will fall by the wayside like all the other extinct religions.<br /> <br /> *Statements in post are authors opinion
