This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I saw a ghost on the stairs,
And sheets on the tables and chairs,
The silverware swam with the sharks in the sink,
Even so, I don't know, what to think.
I've been longing for,
Daisies to push through the floor,
And I wish that plant life would grow all around me,
So I won't feel dead anymore.
So I won't feel dead anymore.
I saw a bear in the den,
Reading my textbooks again,
That bats flowed like traffic as they poured from the attic,
Heaven knows, I could really use a friend.
I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest,
The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time,
Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus,
If I were to pluck on your heartstrings, would you strum on mine?
I've been longing for,
Daisies to push through the floor,
And I wish plant life would grow all around me,
So I won't feel dead anymore.
So I won't feel dead anymore.
Your spirit is sweet, so pull off your sheet,
And give me a ghost of a smile,
Show me your teeth, 'cause you're teddy beneath,
So just grin and bear it a while.
Just grin and bear it a while.
I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest,
The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time,
Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus,
If I were to pluck on your heartstrings, would you strum on mine?
Today I'm busting out,
Of this old haunted house,
'Cause I'm sick of waiting for,
All the spider webs to grow all around me,
'Cause I don't feel dead anymore.
And I'm not afraid anymore.
I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest,
The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time,
Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus,
If I were to pluck on your heartstrings, would you strum on mine?

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
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
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/
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.
Sometimes, you feel like youre trapped in a haunted house, but that doesnt stop the world from being beautiful
This is my absolute favorite song."I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest" That seems like a message for life, or something.
I love that it's in waltz time! Gives quite a different feel to the music.
Anyway I think the singer-character is a ghost (though perhaps he hasn't realised), as well as as the ghost-girl he's falling in love with. Other than that, it's not particularly deep, just surreal.
The chorus doesn't really fit lyrically with the rest of the song (since it doesn't seem to tie in with the haunted house theme), but it's probably my favourite part of it.
I think this song is saying that on the outside, the world is like a haunted house. But underneath, there's still beauty and wonder. Of course, Adam is implying it's because of religion. But it doesn't have to be
He's implying it's because of God, not religion. Trust me, HUGE difference.
Here we go with the debates. I'd rather waltz than try to get you to see my point.
Not a debate, just clarification. Go ahead and waltz, we'd probally all rather do that.
He finds joy in God. His religion worships God. His religion is Christianity. Ergo, he is in fact implying that the world is still beautiful because OF THE JOY HE FINDS IN HIS RELIGION.
Sam is right. "Religion" is nothing but an excuse for man to control his fellow man through power and judgment by a set of rules. <br /> "Christianity" should be the relationship of an individual with God. <br /> Yes, there's a huge difference between the two. It's easy to see when you know what true Christianity is.
I believe that the song is about old painful memories that he would just fade or be overtaken. Its about how people often live in the past and how he desires to live in the beauty of each moment. Instead of dwelling in the grimy parts of the past.
I saw a bear in the den. Reading my textbooks again. (Like:).dont know what it meant though
This song's really cute and beautiful! To me one of the greatest songs of Adam is this..<3
It's all about the fear that comes with being alone.
The meaning of this song is actually pretty deep and relatable. Adam explains in his blog ayoungblog.com/post/28350572229/plant-life check it out :)
Ok I think I got it now, "I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest" basically meas YOLO because its saying you've only got one life, might as well do something interesting (waltzing) instead of just letting your life go by and staying mainstream (just walking through the forest) The forest being life and everyone else who lives in the mainstream. Great Job Adam :)
