This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
You know, the sun is in your eyes
And hurricanes and rains
and black and cloudy skies.
You're running up and down that hill.
You turn it on and off at will.
There's nothing here to thrill
or bring you down.
And if you've got no other choice
You know you can follow my voice
through the dark turns and noise
of this wicked little town.
Oh Lady, luck has led you here
and they're so twisted up
they'll twist you up. I fear.
the pious, hateful and devout,
you're turning tricks til you're turned out,
the wind so cold it burns,
you're burning out and blowing round.
And if you've got no other choice
you know you can follow my voice
through the dark turns and noise
of this wicked little town.
The fates are vicious and they're cruel.
You learn too late you've used two wishes
like a fool
and then you're someone you are not,
and Junction City ain't the spot,
remember Mrs. Lot
and when she turned around.
And if you've got no other choice
You know you can follow my voice
through the dark turns and noise
of this wicked little town.
And hurricanes and rains
and black and cloudy skies.
You're running up and down that hill.
You turn it on and off at will.
There's nothing here to thrill
or bring you down.
And if you've got no other choice
You know you can follow my voice
through the dark turns and noise
of this wicked little town.
Oh Lady, luck has led you here
and they're so twisted up
they'll twist you up. I fear.
the pious, hateful and devout,
you're turning tricks til you're turned out,
the wind so cold it burns,
you're burning out and blowing round.
And if you've got no other choice
you know you can follow my voice
through the dark turns and noise
of this wicked little town.
The fates are vicious and they're cruel.
You learn too late you've used two wishes
like a fool
and then you're someone you are not,
and Junction City ain't the spot,
remember Mrs. Lot
and when she turned around.
And if you've got no other choice
You know you can follow my voice
through the dark turns and noise
of this wicked little town.

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”

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.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Did anyone not understand the lines about "Mrs. Lot" in the last verse? It's a reference to the biblical myth (see my comment on "The Origin of Love" from 05-04-2002 @ 12:56AM) of Sodom and Gommorah. Remember now? God spared Lot and his family, but told them not to turn around and look back. When his wife did, God turned her into a "pillar of salt" (Harsh, huh?). The moral of this tale I guess is, "Don't look back". This reference to Sodom is given a whole new meaning, though when you consider that the star/director, songwriter and certain characters of this film are all "Sodomites"!
i relate to this song a lot, because both my boyfriend and myself belong in the city but we're stuck in suburbia for the time being and all we have is each other..
The breeders do a wonderful version of this song that I commend people to check out.
The song itself teaches something very powerful and important.
'And they're so twisted up, They'll twist you up, I fear". So often you run into people and you don't realise how crazy they are until you are so far deep you begin to lose bits and pieces of yourself ("And then you're someone you are not"). Its sad because these people could be your brothers or sisters ... and they make you want to hate them. Then, you start turning, start changing and turning into those exact same people you didn't want to become. What a little wicked town.
I was rahter confused about that line...so thanks. In my opinion, this is probably the best song on the album. It just totally transports me to another place...but then again, what song isn't amazing on the soundtrack? They all have such a profound meaning, and they leave me wishing I could express myself so well through words, and music...
This is the song that pretty much means more to me than any other. I almost can't analyze it, it's just so beautiful and truly speaks to the emotions instead of the intellect.
I can just relate to this so much. Get me in the right mood, and even after listening to it "on a loop, for three days" it can still make me cry.
Anyone who has a personality for the big city but is stuck in a "wicked little town" could relate. On the DVD making of feature, Stephen Trask talked about writing this song while staying in a "wicked little town" and imagining what it would be like for a character like Hedwig to be in such an environment.
Anyone who has been dealt bad hands in life ("The fates are vicious and they're cruel") and has played the best they know how with it could relate.
Though Hedwig is singing this to Tommy, I think it's much more about Hedwig's character. ("You're turning tricks til you're turned out", "And then you're someone you are not," etc. are all about Hedwig in my point of view.) Then again, aren't both characters one whole?
This is the song that gives me hope that I'll leave my own "Junction City" one day and that I'll have the courage to not look back. ("Remember Mrs. Lot and when she turned around.") Until then, it'll serenade me "through the dark turns and noise of this wicked little town."
(Hey, about the movie--has anyone ever noticed the "two wishes" are in the film? The coin being dropped in the fountain at the mall, and Hedwig blowing the eyelash off Tommy's finger. Gee, maybe I still can over-analyze it!)
This is a really beautiful poignant song, its so bittersweet but at the same time triumphant. When I listen to this album, I just cant believe how perfect some of the lyrics turned out.
