This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Who's gonna quench your thirst now?
Who can satiate?
Something can escape
Who's gonna quench your thirst now?
Who can satiate?
Something can escape
Uh, uh, uh, uh, yeah
I, uh, uh
And I'm not okay, and I can not stay
When the trees go barren and the sky goes gray
And the medicine's gone and the dog has shade
And the hurricane hits and there's no barricades
In my bed I lay but I'm wide awake
Staring into the darkness, pain won't fade
And my mind will rest, but let me follow in his hollow cave
Rise from the dust, I will rise from the grave
I rise from the grave!
Who am I to say?
I know nothing it seems
Until it's way too late
I'm learning this the hard way!
Who am I to say?
I know nothing it seems
Until it's way too late
I'm learning this the hard way!
Learning this the hard way!
Time to send it down
Crushed up in the ground
Broken kingdoms come
Crashing all around
Palace made of glass
Start that with my eyes
So afraid of change
Don't do anything rash
Now I need my saint more than ever before
Yeah, it might be right
Open up the door!
Everyone's wake on a long night
Everyone's got an opinion
But put it in a song
And let me keep on living!
Who am I to say?
I know nothing it seems
Until it's way too late
I'm learning this the hard way!
Who am I to say?
I know nothing it seems
Until it's way too late
I'm learning this the hard way!
Learning this the hard way!
Who am I to say?
I know nothing it seems
Until it's way too late
I'm learning this the hard way!
Learning this the hard way!
Learning this the hard way!
Seize your cage
You're a slave, you wouldn't have it any other way
And besides, filled it up that way
Who's gonna make you happy?
When you're your own worst enemy
Who's gonna make you happy?
Who can satiate?
Something can escape
Who's gonna quench your thirst now?
Who can satiate?
Something can escape
Uh, uh, uh, uh, yeah
I, uh, uh
And I'm not okay, and I can not stay
When the trees go barren and the sky goes gray
And the medicine's gone and the dog has shade
And the hurricane hits and there's no barricades
In my bed I lay but I'm wide awake
Staring into the darkness, pain won't fade
And my mind will rest, but let me follow in his hollow cave
Rise from the dust, I will rise from the grave
I rise from the grave!
Who am I to say?
I know nothing it seems
Until it's way too late
I'm learning this the hard way!
Who am I to say?

Until it's way too late
I'm learning this the hard way!

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."

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,
