This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Here we are, we are waiting for life to begin
And I'm just so bored of innocence
And everybody is busy making plans
Go ahead
Knock yourself out
I'm heading out of here to who knows where
Maybe I'll write a song and someone will listen
Is that enough to make me happy?
Well, I won't know until I get there
I keep talking but no one listens
And I keep hearing things that I can't understand
And I see beauty in resistance
And I'm just trying to figure out who I am
I'm just trying to figure out who I am
In the dark I can feel the weight of the world
Pushing down on top of my shoulders
You think you're strong enough to carry it all?
Go ahead, knock yourself out
I keep talking but no one listens
And I keep hearing things that I can't understand
And I see beauty in resistance
And I'm just trying to figure out who I am
I'm just trying to figure out who I am
I hope all that I've learned will make sense
When I get there
When I get there
I hope all that I've learned will make sense
When I get there
When I get there
I keep talking but no one listens
And I keep hearing things that I can't understand
And I see beauty in resistance
And I'm just trying to figure out who I am
I'm just trying to figure out who I am
And I hope all that I've learned will make sense
When I get there
And I'm just so bored of innocence
And everybody is busy making plans
Go ahead
Knock yourself out
I'm heading out of here to who knows where
Maybe I'll write a song and someone will listen
Is that enough to make me happy?
Well, I won't know until I get there
I keep talking but no one listens
And I keep hearing things that I can't understand
And I see beauty in resistance
And I'm just trying to figure out who I am
I'm just trying to figure out who I am
In the dark I can feel the weight of the world
Pushing down on top of my shoulders
You think you're strong enough to carry it all?
Go ahead, knock yourself out
I keep talking but no one listens
And I keep hearing things that I can't understand
And I see beauty in resistance
And I'm just trying to figure out who I am
I'm just trying to figure out who I am
I hope all that I've learned will make sense
When I get there
When I get there
I hope all that I've learned will make sense
When I get there
When I get there
I keep talking but no one listens
And I keep hearing things that I can't understand
And I see beauty in resistance
And I'm just trying to figure out who I am
I'm just trying to figure out who I am
And I hope all that I've learned will make sense
When I get there

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."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Midnight
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms.
“Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
