This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Devils don't lie
They just fuel the heart's fire for more, more
Devils don't pry
They just wait until you want a bit more, more
I don't want lies
I want open skies
I want doors, doors
But the pressure keeps prying
There's an open fire at the core, core
Oh hear the sound of the madhouse that you're making
Oh hear the sound of the madhouse that you're making
Chaos and disorder!
I'm a mess then I'm a messiah
(Don't you leave me alone)
In the chaos and disorder!
I'm a mess then I'm a messiah
(I'm terrorizing everything)
The way we get by
Is to lie, lie, lie
A bit more, more
Way we get high
Is get high on pride
A bit more, more
You go deep inside
No room for the light
In these four walls
Hunting for your dream
Down the cocaine streets
Give me more, more
Oh hear the sound of the madhouse that you're making
Oh hear the sound of the madhouse that you're making
Chaos and disorder!
I'm a mess then I'm a messiah
(Don't you leave me alone)
In the chaos and disorder!
I'm a mess then I'm a messiah
(I'm terrorizing everything)
Inside of my head
It's a madhouse that you're making
Oh hear the sound of the madhouse that you're making
Breaking inside of me
We gotta find that light shining in the hard times
Gotta find that light shining in the dark times
Gotta find that light shining in the hard times
Gotta find that light shining in the dark times
Oh hear the sound of the madhouse
Oh hear the sound of the madhouse
Breaking inside of me
Whats that clack clack? Gotta get outta here
Rather be caught dead than die in here!
They just fuel the heart's fire for more, more
Devils don't pry
They just wait until you want a bit more, more
I don't want lies
I want open skies
I want doors, doors
But the pressure keeps prying
There's an open fire at the core, core
Oh hear the sound of the madhouse that you're making
Oh hear the sound of the madhouse that you're making
Chaos and disorder!
I'm a mess then I'm a messiah
(Don't you leave me alone)
In the chaos and disorder!
I'm a mess then I'm a messiah
(I'm terrorizing everything)
The way we get by
Is to lie, lie, lie
A bit more, more
Way we get high
Is get high on pride
A bit more, more
You go deep inside
No room for the light
In these four walls
Hunting for your dream
Down the cocaine streets
Give me more, more
Oh hear the sound of the madhouse that you're making
Oh hear the sound of the madhouse that you're making
Chaos and disorder!
I'm a mess then I'm a messiah
(Don't you leave me alone)
In the chaos and disorder!
I'm a mess then I'm a messiah
(I'm terrorizing everything)
Inside of my head
It's a madhouse that you're making
Oh hear the sound of the madhouse that you're making
Breaking inside of me
We gotta find that light shining in the hard times
Gotta find that light shining in the dark times
Gotta find that light shining in the hard times
Gotta find that light shining in the dark times
Oh hear the sound of the madhouse
Oh hear the sound of the madhouse
Breaking inside of me
Whats that clack clack? Gotta get outta here
Rather be caught dead than die in here!

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."
Gentle Hour
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,
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.
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.
