This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I search high and low but I can't find you
Still your vexing laugh entices me
Close enough to touch but then you run away
I'm about to quit and then you say, "lose yourself in the vanity faire!"
Insanity is whispering to me, whoa!
What I believe is just not making sense of what I see
Show me your reflection, a sly disguise, is it the girl you want to be?
A porcelain smile, you're a knockout, baby?
Drape yourself in fragile fantasy
I see your reflection, a sly disguise, and it's not the girl your want to be?
A fraudulent smile
What you see is what you've asked for,but it's never what you are
A cold-hearted tale
Lost in a maze of beautiful deception
And just like before I'm at the mercy of a phantom
When will it end? How will it end? And will you be in arms?
I just can't take anymore of this pointless search for nothing
Insanity is whispering to me whoa!
What I believe is just not making sense of what I see
Show me your reflection, a sly disguise, is it the girl you want to be?
A fraudulent smile
What you see is what you've asked for,but it's never what you are
Hey hey hey!
Silence, oh cruel harlot!
Silence! Your filthy tongue will be stilled!
Laughter echoing, I'm unraveling tonight
Silence! I've had enough!
Silence! No longer will you stop me!
Your vanity so patiently will steal your soul
You're hideous
Mirror, mirror on the wall, a liar to us all, you'll be the one to fall
The eye of the beholder knows the truth
Show me your reflection, a sly disguise,Is it the girl you want to be?
A porcelain smile, you're a knockout, baby!
Drape yourself in fragile fantasy
I see you reflection, a sly disguise,
And it's not the girl you want to be?
A fraudulent smile
What you see is what you've asked for,
But it's never what you are
What you see is what you've asked for,
What you see is what you get
A cold-hearted tale
Attack the mirrors, shatter the prison
One by one reflections fall, come on come on come on come on!
Until I destroy them all, come on come on come on come on!
Still your vexing laugh entices me
Close enough to touch but then you run away
I'm about to quit and then you say, "lose yourself in the vanity faire!"
Insanity is whispering to me, whoa!
What I believe is just not making sense of what I see
Show me your reflection, a sly disguise, is it the girl you want to be?
A porcelain smile, you're a knockout, baby?
Drape yourself in fragile fantasy
I see your reflection, a sly disguise, and it's not the girl your want to be?
A fraudulent smile
What you see is what you've asked for,but it's never what you are
A cold-hearted tale
Lost in a maze of beautiful deception
And just like before I'm at the mercy of a phantom
When will it end? How will it end? And will you be in arms?
I just can't take anymore of this pointless search for nothing
Insanity is whispering to me whoa!
What I believe is just not making sense of what I see
Show me your reflection, a sly disguise, is it the girl you want to be?
A fraudulent smile
What you see is what you've asked for,but it's never what you are
Hey hey hey!
Silence, oh cruel harlot!
Silence! Your filthy tongue will be stilled!
Laughter echoing, I'm unraveling tonight
Silence! I've had enough!
Silence! No longer will you stop me!
Your vanity so patiently will steal your soul
You're hideous
Mirror, mirror on the wall, a liar to us all, you'll be the one to fall

What you see is what you've asked for,

One by one reflections fall, come on come on come on come on!
Until I destroy them all, come on come on come on come on!

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."

Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
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.
