This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
What's it like to be a marble?
Did I get something in your eye?
She's a referee, and I'm lethally
Overdosed on pumpkin pie
Yes the future is mount delicious son
But the leaf changes forms continuum
My destiny is calling me, it says
Jon Mess you should own a gun
Feel the room filling up with smoke,
Billowing, billowing up, holding on for the worst, rise above.
Can I get a piece of that?
Uniquely post relapse
The quota and balancing act
Can I get a piece of that?
Come down, in my veins,
The whispers start to drill,
The pain of second place.
What's it like to be an atheist?
Are you okay with suicide?
Well it's baffling that my ears can bleed
When I see your domestic thighs
Yes the future is kush and bubblegum
But I prefer wood to linoleum
My destiny is calling me, it says
You'll be fine if you take some Tums
I'm letting out, well I feel that I've dropped it all,
I'm letting out, well I feel that I've rushed it,
Come down, in my veins,
The whispers start to drill,
The pain of second place.
I'm angry, believe it, I need this just as much as you
Its complicated
Did I get something in your eye?

Feel the room filling up with smoke,
Billowing, billowing up, holding on for the worst, rise above.

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.
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
obviously, yerf,
when he says "I prefer wood to linoleum", he's referring to the above line "the future is kush and bubblegum" he prefers da real herb.
yeah, that's what I got.
Jonny, best I can hear:
Feel the room filling up with smoke, Billowing, billowing up, holding on for the worst, rise above.
Come down, ... in my veins, ..., the whispers start to drill, The pain of second place.
I'm letting out, well I feel that I've dropped it all, I'm letting out, well I feel that I've rushed it, ...
Come down, ... in my veins, ..., the whispers start to drill, The pain of second place.
possibly marvel not marble?
Nah, Jon posted his lyrics, so his are all known. It's marble.
bless him
i feel like this song is something Jon Mess wrote real high thinking about how he see's all these perfect people-- ("marbles") who can make their own rules in their own perfect world-- ("she's a referee") and how he's just him.. leaning towards suicide. --"Jon Mess you should own a gun" --"Feel the room filling up with smoke" --"What's it like to be an atheist? Are you okay with suicide?"
The second verse is a little off for me on what it all means, "I prefer wood to linoleum"??
(What’s it like to be a marble?) (Did I get something in your eye?) (She’s a referee, and I’m lethally) (Overdosed on pumpkin pie.) (Yes the future is mount delicious son) (But the leaf changes forms continuum) (My destiny is calling me, it says) (Jon Mess you should own a gun.)
Feel the room filling up with smoke Billowing, billowing up, holding on for the worst, rise above. (Can I get a piece of that?) Come on down, i need more in my veins, (Uniquely post relapse) ...so who starts the fire the whispers start to drill, (The quota and balancing act) The pain of second place. (Can I get a piece of that?) (What’s it like to be an atheist?) (Are you okay with suicide?) (Well it’s baffling that my ears can bleed) (When I see your domestic thighs.) (Yes the future is kush and bubblegum) (But I prefer wood to linoleum.) (My destiny is calling me, it says) (You’ll be fine if you take some Tums.)
I'm letting out, well I feel that I've dropped it all, I'm letting out, well I feel that I've rushed it,
……………………………
(I’m angry, believe it, I need this just as much as you) (It's complicated.)

Come down, ... in my veins, ..., the whispers start to drill, The pain of second place.
Maybe something like
So run down, I need more in my veins So who starts the fire? The whispers start to drill The pain of second place.
i dunno.
After watching multiple live versions of the song on youtube, here is what makes most sense for Jonny's chorus:
I'm all run down I need more in my veins So let's open fire The whispers start to drill The pain of second place
ahh i just figured that out then from watching them live lol
From what I understand, it's a self-esteem song. One of many inner insecurities. "What's it like to be a marble? " Asking what it's like to be perfect or better. Feeling as if he is confined to a certain role and following rules "She's a referee." The line about "wood to linoleum" connects with the line of "kush and bubblegum" in meaning he prefers the effects of the real herb to its counterpart. The chorus about being "run down" and needing more in his veins and the "quota and balancing act" has to do with having enough to not feel like a loser among better people but not so much that he can't function properly. And the "whispers" that "drill the pain of second place" are his inner demons that often remind him of his shortcomings and insecurities. And really the whole song is like a battle between his thoughts and his outer actions in accordance to them.
