This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Feels like the same today
Ten thousand horses drag me down
Seems like the same you say
Ten thousand voices crying out
You put on yourself, you'll see
There's nothing left at all
Ten thousand fingers dragging me down down down
Never want to slow down
I keep rollin' on
Never want to slow down
What I feel and what I know
It's all about to change
Seems like the same your ways of moving on
Ten thousand lies, you're washing your hands of everything else
So put on yourself you'll see
There's nothing left at all
Ten thousand stares they're bringing me down down down
Never want to slow down
I keep rollin' on
Never want to slow down
What I feel and what I know
Oh it feels like the strain
That everybody's giving to me
Won't let my hands get tied
I'm gonna ride it all out
Never gonna slow down this time
It's all about to change
Change from the past for knowledge tomorrow
Carries me on my way
I feel you pressing
These words left unspoken
Change for the sake, change for the sake of change
Seems like the same you say
Ten thousand cracks you're walking on
Fells like the same to say
Ten thousand voices calling on
You put on yourself
You'll see there's nothing left at all
But ten thousand horses bringing me down down down
Never want to slow down
I keep rollin' on
Never want to slow down
What I feel and what I know
Oh it feels like the strain
That everybody's giving to me
Won't let my hands get tied
I'm gonna ride it all out
Never gonna slow down this time
It's all about to change
Ten thousand horses drag me down
Seems like the same you say
Ten thousand voices crying out
You put on yourself, you'll see
There's nothing left at all
Ten thousand fingers dragging me down down down
Never want to slow down
I keep rollin' on
Never want to slow down
What I feel and what I know
It's all about to change
Seems like the same your ways of moving on
Ten thousand lies, you're washing your hands of everything else
So put on yourself you'll see
There's nothing left at all
Ten thousand stares they're bringing me down down down
Never want to slow down
I keep rollin' on
Never want to slow down
What I feel and what I know
Oh it feels like the strain
That everybody's giving to me
Won't let my hands get tied
I'm gonna ride it all out
Never gonna slow down this time
It's all about to change
Change from the past for knowledge tomorrow
Carries me on my way
I feel you pressing
These words left unspoken
Change for the sake, change for the sake of change
Seems like the same you say
Ten thousand cracks you're walking on
Fells like the same to say
Ten thousand voices calling on
You put on yourself
You'll see there's nothing left at all
But ten thousand horses bringing me down down down
Never want to slow down
I keep rollin' on
Never want to slow down
What I feel and what I know
Oh it feels like the strain
That everybody's giving to me
Won't let my hands get tied
I'm gonna ride it all out
Never gonna slow down this time
It's all about to change

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.
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.
just my 2 cents. well, maybe it's about to relive people's pressure, their opinions, blames, claims and keep moving on no matter what. but anyway, it's a great song.
Agree with the other king. It's a great song lyric. But it's just a song lyric.
No comments? Well, that ends now :) I think this song is about being stuck in patterns of repetition, gaining clarity and taking action upon your feelings. 10,000 horses to me is a metaphor for how one feels, when they aren't doing anything about buried and repressed feelings. But, interpretations and meanings for me on songs change.
