This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
You burned up all your credit
On a family of kids who pop your pills
And smoke your pipe
And after the war broke your piggy bank
The bastards broke the world this time
So we sleep with our guns
And no jive won't get done
But we're heavy-hand high
Oh stuck in the middle of a
Silly little riddle
Control your dam, control
Till it blows your mind
Oh dance!
Don't stop!
Oh do the no future, do the no future shock
Don't stop!
Do the no future, do the no future
Oh you're aware, blow your top
Lord, do the no future, do the no future
Oh you're aware, blow your top
Oh do the no future, do the no future
Oh mother dear, did they really cop a feel
Before they robbed you blind?
We're all lacking nourishment
We searched around the world
Looks like a man's gonna drop
Tell it to me, baby girl
Fall into this burning world
Are you ready?
Here comes the cop to lock us up for smoking
Crack well...blow mountaintops
Are you ready?
Oh dance!
Don't stop!
Do the no future, do the no future shock
Don't stop!
Do the no future, do the no future shock
Don't stop!
Do the no future, do the no future shock
Don't stop!
Oh do the no future, do the no future
Honey and it's burning blood money
So I leave the motor running all night
Absurdities confirming me
Like want to start them up
'cause here, funny, it just doesn't seem right (so tight!)
? in the fishery
Clean water running out of sight
Come on come on
See the whores transforming
Feel it
Oh drop
And bounce
And shake it shake it like it is the end of time
Oh see that you get down
In the town
In the country in the city in the middle of a beautiful
Get-left-behind
Oh work it out
?
Get ready
?
Father to the mother:
What went wrong?
I can't say no, won't live too long
Hold it steady
Girl, it falls apart
Don't stop
Oh do the no future do the no future
Don't stop
Do the no future do the no future shock
Don't stop
Do the no future do the no future shock
On a family of kids who pop your pills
And smoke your pipe
And after the war broke your piggy bank
The bastards broke the world this time
So we sleep with our guns
And no jive won't get done
But we're heavy-hand high
Oh stuck in the middle of a
Silly little riddle
Control your dam, control
Till it blows your mind
Oh dance!
Don't stop!
Oh do the no future, do the no future shock
Don't stop!
Do the no future, do the no future
Oh you're aware, blow your top
Lord, do the no future, do the no future
Oh you're aware, blow your top
Oh do the no future, do the no future
Oh mother dear, did they really cop a feel
Before they robbed you blind?
We're all lacking nourishment

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”
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."

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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
This is an anthem dedicated to our unsustainable future and political unrest wrapped in a beat that can be listened to mindlessly as if it was a simple dance song. Brilliant if you ask me.
"you burned up all your credit on a family of kids who pop your pills and smoke your pipe and after the war broke your piggy bank the bastards broke the world this time"
The wars in the middle-east coupled with multiple bad economic decisions put the US into debt.
"so we sleep with our guns and no jive won't get done but we're heavy-hand high oh stuck in the middle of a silly little riddle control your dam, control till it blows your mind"
Some Americans just don't trust the government anymore, to the point that even the political officials don't trust each other enough to get anything productive done.
"oh mother dear, did they really cop a feel before they robbed you blind? we're all lacking nourishment we searched around the world looks like a man's gonna drop"
The economic crisis robbed many people of their retirement benefits and investments.
"tell tell tell me, baby girl born into this burning world are you ready?"
The current generation is expected to clean up the mess that we inherited, the question is if we're ready to finally fix things instead of messing things up further.
"here come the cops to lock us up for smoking crunk while mining corps blow mountain tops I mean, really?"
Mountaintop removal mining is a serious environmental concern, miners blow the tops off of mountains to strip what resources they can from the area as fast as possible, polluting the surrounding areas with toxic mining byproducts and dust in ways that can't be mitigated easily. It's considered an almost criminal act that mining corporations are allowed to get away with. This is an obvious comparison to how the individual is arrested for using drugs while corporations can rape the environment and get away scot-free.
