This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Darlin' don't you go and cut your hair
Do you think it's gonna make him change?
"I'm just a boy with a new haircut"
And that's a pretty nice haircut
Charts are like a puzzle
Hitmen wearin' muzzles
Hesitate, you die
Look around, around
The second drummer drowned
His telephone is found
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Music scene is crazy
Bands start up each and every day
I saw another one just the other day
A special new band
I don't remember lying
I don't remember a line
I don't remember a word
But I don't care
I care
I really don't care
Did you see the drummer's hair?
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
"Advertising looks and chops a must
No big hair!"
Songs mean a lot
When songs are bought
And so are you
Face right down to the practice room
Attention and fame's a career
Career, career, career, career, career
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

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."

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
he says both. He starts with career and then transfroms it to Korea.
steve-o has the lyrics right
malkmus' take: "It begins with me iimagining some girl bummed out on her boyfriend. 'What am I going to do?' she's asking herself. 'Cut my hair!' It could be anything, really- whatever you try to do to get a man or woman to like you. It nevers works. Someone's always got the upper hand. The it goes on to how the music world's the same, the way it concentrates on little outside things that seem cool, like your thrift-shop clothes or the amount of stubble you have on your chin. These are the things that seem to make one band different from the next- how long their hair is. It's not mt saying 'Get short hair!' I'm totally into long hair. I'd have it if I could, but it looks bad on me."
my 3rd favorite pavement song
Also - second drummer drown part. Nastonovich, their second drummer, always used to take baths and talk on the telephone while doing so. Strange but true, from the biography. Malkmus thought it was funny, threw that random bit in this song.
"Jaws are like a puzzle" not Charge it like a puzzle
Is Malkmus saying Career or Korea????
yeah--you'd think it was about the inconsistent and annoying music industry...and how hard it is to maintain a 'career' in that....but, then again, Malkmus will swear he says "korea", not career...that crazy genius...
nuke troop is right
i disagree with a couple of the above interpretations...what do you think...
'hit me where it muscles'
'i remember lyin, but i don't remember lyin'...i don't remember a word but i don't care....etc'
'advertising looks and chops of must' ie. old, recycled guitar
lastly, i know that it's 'face right down to the practise room' cause i rember reading a malkmus interview where he said, 'i thought it was kinda funny, face right down to the practise room'
anyways that's what i've always sung along
@seasonedass "advertising looks and chops a must. No big hair!" Is referring to music papers where bands uses to advertise for players. Chops means skill on the guitar or whatever instrument you played. No big hair is the emphasis that you were looking for big hair metal type of players. Since this used to occur in the late 80's it was necessary to clarify that hair metal was NOT what you were looking for. Chops a must was a common phrase too.
it's not Charge it like a puzzle
it's JUDGE it like a puzzle...makes more sense.
