This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Running outside the Nazca Lines
You know I see you all in white
Hoping you'll grow the fruitful vines
An array to give us life
Violence born within my mind
I know it always takes its time
Climbing inside the cosmic eye
And forgive the enemy
I wonder who I am
Reflections offer nothing
I wonder where I stand
I'm afraid of myself
Watching you crumble to the ground
Made me want to run away
Helping you find the golden crown
Made it easier to stay
I wonder who I am
Reflections offer nothing
I wonder where I stand
I'm afraid of myself
At the bottom of the mountain
Unaware of my surroundings
Separation from my spirit
Let the tree fall on the plain
I wonder who I am
Reflections offer nothing
I wonder where I stand
I'm afraid of myself
You know I see you all in white
Hoping you'll grow the fruitful vines
An array to give us life
Violence born within my mind
I know it always takes its time
Climbing inside the cosmic eye
And forgive the enemy
I wonder who I am
Reflections offer nothing
I wonder where I stand
I'm afraid of myself
Watching you crumble to the ground
Made me want to run away
Helping you find the golden crown
Made it easier to stay
I wonder who I am
Reflections offer nothing
I wonder where I stand
I'm afraid of myself
At the bottom of the mountain
Unaware of my surroundings
Separation from my spirit
Let the tree fall on the plain
I wonder who I am
Reflections offer nothing
I wonder where I stand
I'm afraid of myself

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."

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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.
Running outside the Nazca Lines
The Nazca lines are mysterious geoglyphs in Peru which have differing theories on their purpose. A majority of those theories are of a celestial nature either in a polytheistic sense or of an astrological one.
The lyric makes me think of possibly existing outside of God's influence. Another thought is that the writer is tripping on halucinogens and is 'outside the lines' of normal perception. God and halucinogens are intrinsically linked in many older cultures especially in South America

Violence born within my mind I know it always takes its time Climbing inside the cosmic eye And forgive the enemy
The lines
You know I see you all in white Hoping you'll grow the fruitful vines An array to give us life
Seem to be asking the creator for blessing
A common occurence with breakthrough psychedlic use is the 'ego death' which is generally a dissolving of the perception of self into the single 'life consciousness' of all things in the universe. The violence of the ego is gone and all that remains is harmony or love or whatever descriptor you'd like.
I wonder who I am Reflections Offer Nothing I wonder where I stand I'm afraid of myself
Those lyrics really make me think of possibly some kind of vision quest or other rite of passage using psychelics.
