This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
By the time you're natural,
By the time you die,
I'll take my head and spin it for you
I'll just look around.
And I caught you lying
ANd I call dead
You come and poison all the things that I once said were god.
Everybody's hungry
Everybody's high,
We'll sit around and ask ourselves if it was all a lie
And I already told you
And you already did,
But you have got to know yourself and so I let it slide
Can you be to careful?
Can you hold my hand?
It takes forever for the sounds to get around
And I already loved you
And I already saw
But were we all. .. just sore. ..
By the time you die,
I'll take my head and spin it for you
I'll just look around.
And I caught you lying
ANd I call dead
You come and poison all the things that I once said were god.
Everybody's hungry
Everybody's high,
We'll sit around and ask ourselves if it was all a lie
And I already told you
And you already did,
But you have got to know yourself and so I let it slide
Can you be to careful?
Can you hold my hand?
It takes forever for the sounds to get around
And I already loved you
And I already saw
But were we all. .. just sore. ..

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,
Okay, the actual lyrics are a bit different: (also please note, there are two Melvins songs with this very similiar name. This one is AMAZON (all caps) the other is amazon (all lower case)
AMAZON by the Melvins
By the time you're natural, By the time you die, I'll take my head and spin it for you I'll just look around. And I caught you lying ANd I call dead You come and poison all the things that I once said were god.
Everybody's hungry Everybody's high, We'll sit around and ask ourselves if it was all a lie And I already told you And you already did, But you have got to know yourself and so I let it slide
Can you be to careful? Can you hold my hand? It takes forever for the sounds to get around And I already loved you And I already saw But were we all. .. just sore. ..
I think that this song has both meaning and setting. The setting is the young-group-sitting-around-hanging out. The meaning is about when you find out that you've been betrayed. (probably by love?) and can't believe that you did so much for so little, or for it all to come out ot nothing.
Yeah this song should strike some kind of amazing chord with it's audience. These 4 Melvins songs are so fucking genius. Shame their not as popular as they should be. IT TAKES FOREVER FOR THE SOUND TO GET AROUND ;)
BTW, here's the other one with the title, the all lowercase one, "amazon"
Hey Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song Okay. . .
Understand that the colors are given midnight I got nothing, but the numbers are killing you Every night when my pocket is a stairway It could feel like the numbers are beating you Feel the cold when the numbers are going nowhere
