This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I was walking one day through the big lights
wondering when the world became so tired
Bottles of vodka flashed while a coca cola sign shone like moonlight
and I wondered when the world became so wired
Even the clearing of the streets was all tiled
and in the corner stood a tree in a cage
And in the screen on the side of skyscraper stood a war child
nestled in amongst the stocks, the shares and the sports scores of the day
I thought "don't you leave your life too long,
it's gone before it's done, if you hide away"
eyyyy
I was travelling one day to find a small town
For I'd heard it was far enough away
Arrived late in the night and there was no sound
I looked forward to the breaking of the day
With the sunrise I headed for the ocean
For I where I find the cleanest air to breathe
Every road down a factory had stolen
And the smoke billowed out and blocked the sea
I thought "don't you leave your life too long,
it's gone before it's done, if you hide away"
I thought "don't you leave your life too long,
it's gone before it's done, if you hide away"
eyyyy
eyyyy
eyyyy
And I was travelling one day down in Mexico
In towns where people purely work to eat
There's a shine in the eyes of those that let go
And that shine was like a song it sang to me
It said "don't you leave your life too long,
it's gone before it's done, if you hide away"
And I thought "don't you leave your life too long,
it's gone before it's done, if you hide away"
Heyyyy.

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”
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."
