This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
You don't own me
I'm not just one of your many toys
You don't own me
Don't say I can't go with other boys
Don't tell me what to do
And don't tell me what to say
Please when I go out with you
Don't put me on display 'cause
You don't own me
Don't try to change me in any way
You don't own me
Don't tie me down 'cause I'll never stay
Oh I don't tell you what to say
And I don't tell you what to do
So just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you
I'm young and I love to be young
And free and I love to be free
To live my life the way I want
To say and do whatever I please
Don't tell me what to do
And you don't tell me what to say
And Please when I go out with you
Don't put me on display 'cause
I don't, I don't tell you what to say baby
But I don't tell you what to do but to start to sing, yeah

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”
