This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Take me away from the ocean, already gone away
I'm already gone
Take me up north to the blue grass, horse meat and pharmacies
I'm already gone
Board up the house
Hide your boys and girls
Board up the house
Hide your boys and girls
We wanted the best for our sweet little September castaway
I'm already gone
She's floating in acetone, covered in bruises and common colds
I'm already gone
Board up the house
Hide your boys and girls
Board up the house
Hide your boys and girls
Board up the house
Board up the house
Board up the house
Board up the house
Board up
Hide your boys...
Hide your girls...
Hide your...
I'm already gone
Take me up north to the blue grass, horse meat and pharmacies
I'm already gone
Board up the house
Hide your boys and girls
Board up the house
Hide your boys and girls
We wanted the best for our sweet little September castaway
I'm already gone
She's floating in acetone, covered in bruises and common colds
I'm already gone
Board up the house
Hide your boys and girls
Board up the house
Hide your boys and girls
Board up the house
Board up the house
Board up the house
Board up the house
Board up
Hide your boys...
Hide your girls...
Hide your...

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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."
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
So I think that I got the chorus. Baroness' lyrics are always cryptic and we'll probably never get what modt of them mean, but this double record - specially Green - is a lot more literal than the others, and I'm almost sure there's a message here.
So let's get to the chorus, "Board up the house/hide your boys and girls". Now why do we board up houses? In most cases, in the USA, is to reduce damage caused by hurricanes. When the author tells us to board up the house, he means that something is coming, something big.
So let's not get too literal, this isn't some apocalyptic prophecy, no, I like to interpretate this in a more intellectual level. So back in early 2012 (BOY it's been 5 years o m g), things were already pretty boiled in the field of the ideology, they were clashing amongst themselves, the debates were getting more and more serious, and we knew it was just a matter of time ubtil things get, well, just like theuly are today: ideologic chaos.
Now, wait! This isn't a bad thing, actually this is very beneficial, so let's analyze today's "field of ideas". The era of "having deeps thoughts and expressing them os for nerds" era is just gone, everyone is looking to today's society, and to themselves, way more seriously, and people are developing a way more well aware mind than ever before, but with one cost: our innocence, and our capability of understanding and compassion, such as of a child's. All these debates and the heat turned us all into a bit cynical and individualist.
So, finally, to the chorus. "Bpard up the house/hide your boys amd girls". It is a warning to the people who can't accept these changes: Protect your mind, and protect your innocence for what is about to come, a hurricane of new ideas and discussion. Too bad for people who just heard this song now that it's just too late now, haha.
