This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Yeah, I'm ready, yeah
They wan't me to fall
They wanna see if I make it
Got my back against the wall, put my head to the sky
No one let them break me
I got great expectations
Great expectations
(I'm ready)
All the stares
And all the glares
They waitin' on him
And all the weight
From all the hate
It's gainin' on him
The intensity as he rises
As nobody can disguise it
It's like he got fire in his eyelids
The crowd is roarin'
It's so enormous, his blood is boilin'
His head is burnin', he's focus
He wishes they ignore 'em
Who in they right mind
Want to let his light shine
He ain't even in his prime
Pressure of a lifetime
He standing steady, head sweaty
Maybe nervous, but ready
The skepticism lies heavy
He's bout to make it ready
He got his fam on his back
Bout to carry like Chevy
So much on his plate
He hopes the repercussions ain't deadly
But he ain't gonna back out or what
He faces right now and he
Knows that he will outstand every
Doubt and turn around
The inceptions are knocked out
They are no longer will be doubt
There's a rumor he won't stop till his name is what they shout
They wan't me to fall
They wanna see if I make it
Got my back against the wall, put my head to the sky
No one let them break me
I got great expectations
Great expectations
(I'm ready)
He's no longer fearing
That's why the past [?] persevering
The way he's staring is clearing
All that could be competition immediately tuition
He's burnin, he's never slippin'
And been hearing him say that now he could be the best that ever did it
Their expectations lie
So we just bringin' can I
Be the best man I can ever be to exceed everything they want me to be
No anxiety, just gonna do me and no [?] for the ones to believe
Video name is dedicated with a protection to achieve
So Ima keep going, keep going, keep knowing
I'm the dopiest around my point but Imma need you to know it
I know where I came from but I stay so honest and focus
Like I was focusin and wasn't million in one of the closest
Great expectations I got em waiting and anticipatin
They only [?] you know [?]
I'm returnin' to be one of the greatest
So if you hate it take it cause I won't stop and you wanna make it
They wan't me to fall

Got my back against the wall, put my head to the sky
No one let them break me
I got great expectations

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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."
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Don't we all...
