This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Driving home to be with you
The highway's dividing, the city's in view
As usual, I'm almost on time
You're the last thing that's on my mind
I wish I could tell you the way that I feel
But tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel
No commotion, no screaming brakes
Most of it's over before I awake
From the ceiling, my coffee cup drips
While out my window, the horizon does flips
The worst part was hitting the ground
Not the feeling so much as the sound
Can't help but wonder if all this is real
'Cause tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel
Rubberneck traffic and passersby
A slow motion Walter, the fire engine guy
Stand around with their mouths open wide
I heard some idiot ask if someone's inside
With the 'Jaws of Life' they tried and they tried
Nobody here can know how I feel
'Cause tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel
I guess it's over now
'Cause I've never seen so much
Never seen so much, never seen so much
Never seen so much
I guess it's over now
'Cause I've never seen so much
Never seen so much, never seen so much blood
In all the confusion, there's something serene
I'm just a posthumous part of the scene
Now I'm floating above looking in
As the radio blares and wheels spin
I can see my face slump with a grin
And you
You're the last thing on my mind
You're the last thing on my mind
You're the last thing on my mind
You're the last thing on my mind
Suddenly things become unsound
Stumbling on the shaky ground
Given arrows to shoot tornadoes down
Shoot them down to the ground
Saw a falling leaf, good luck, jump to grab
Much to our surprise, a butterfly
And it sunk in this induration
Induration in our lives
Inside ourselves, a hidden sun, that burns and burns
But never does any harm to anyone
Shivering madly in the dark
Like an animal abandoned in the car park
And she held me, and then she showed me the
Beauty of the human heart
Inside ourselves, a hidden sun, that burns and burns
But never does any harm to anyone
A hidden sun, that burns and burns
But never does any harm to anyone
Anyone
Ooh, anyone, hmm
Hidden sun (sun)
Hidden sun, ooh (sun)

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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."
Blue

Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
I love how 'You're the last thing on my mind' has 2 different meanings. In the beginning when he says it, and at the end when he says it. Just think about it
And I forgot to say it, but Tonight is the Night ... is the last official song on the album so, "It ain't over until the fat lady sings" is particularly cogent.....
But then, they add a hidden track! Again, to me this is BNL humour.
Great fun!
"You're the last thing on my mind" Is this a good thing or a bad thing? as in..is she really the last thing on his mind before he dies, or is he not thinking about her at all?
I love the song just because of how freakin disturbing it is
It took me over a year to get the double meaning in "You're the last thing on my mind." I sang this song for an audition for a high school play when i was a freshman. they didn't let me finish (they didn't think i was bad, they cut a lot of people off) but if you don't get to the end, it sounds like a sick song. people were laughing as a sung it, the directors probably thought i was psycho. when i was done, someone asked me "who sings that, adam sandler?" i was not happy. oh well. i love this song
I would have let you in the play.
i DO enjoy this song! really strange, great lyrics. unusually good, actually. what a fucking vivid description of a car wreck.
what the hell no one mentions the circus music in the background? creepy..yet romantic in a way i guess...
this song is said to be the most gory out of all of them.
This is why I love the Barenaked Ladies. This has to be the best love song I have ever heard.
This is probally one of my fav BNL Songs...it is so disturbing in a sort of funny way
