This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
What can I say?
I think I had enough
I think you keep playing to play
Knowing that I feel sick
Come on, just say it
Just say you like to play this game just to drive me wild
I let you pretend
But you know the truth is that
I love you to death
Like you love this game
This time
There's a common thread
And so I sit
And watch you play dumb
I'd like to see you play with the odds on your plate instead
Come on, just say it
Just say you like to keep this pace just to drive me wild
I let you pretend
But you know the truth is that
I love you to death
Like you love this game
It keeps me hanging tight
What can I say?
I think your head's fucked
Go on, drive me wild
This time
There's a constant thing
This time
There's a common thread
That keeps me hanging tight
And it tells me something's right
What can I say?
I fuckin' had enough
I think you just play what you play
Knowing that I feel sick
Come on, just say it
Just say you like to play this game 'cause it drives me wild
I think I had enough
I think you keep playing to play
Knowing that I feel sick
Come on, just say it
Just say you like to play this game just to drive me wild
I let you pretend
But you know the truth is that
I love you to death
Like you love this game
This time
There's a common thread
And so I sit
And watch you play dumb
I'd like to see you play with the odds on your plate instead
Come on, just say it
Just say you like to keep this pace just to drive me wild
I let you pretend
But you know the truth is that
I love you to death
Like you love this game
It keeps me hanging tight
What can I say?
I think your head's fucked
Go on, drive me wild
This time
There's a constant thing
This time
There's a common thread
That keeps me hanging tight
And it tells me something's right
What can I say?
I fuckin' had enough
I think you just play what you play
Knowing that I feel sick
Come on, just say it
Just say you like to play this game 'cause it drives me wild

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
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.
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.
My interpretation is that they are singing about a very toxic, narcissistic person. "Just to drive me wild I let you pretend But you know Truth is that I love you to death Like you love this game" A narcissistic person can be really charming and lovable, they know how to put on this charade to get you hooked in, but do something that to them jeopardizes that charade and you are in for a rough ride, it is a game they love to play, they toy with your emotions and make you feel crazy. "What can I say I think your head’s fucked Go on drive me wild" You start to realize how fucked in the head they really are, but you still end up playing their game without meaning to, any kind of reaction to.their bullshit drama vacuum gives them the ammunition for a new fight. The next verse reinforces the narcissistic person theory, once you become their target they will look for every little negative thing to pick apart, to make you look like the bad guy and play the victim to get the attention they crave.
In the last verse they see the common thread or what triggers the abuse and for once they feel right in the negative feelings they feel towards this narcissistic person, they finally have had enough and want this person to admit their sick mentality.
In summary, this song is great. The lyrics; as Deftones song lyrics often do; are so good at hitting a nerve or have deep meaning.
