This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Between the searching and the need to work it out
I stop believing everything will be alright
Broken
We are broken
I'm walking uphill being turned around and 'round
Secret in motion when my feet are on the ground
Broken
We are broken
In my mind's eye
One little boy anger one little man
Funny how time flies
I stop believing everything will be alright
Broken
We are broken
I'm walking uphill being turned around and 'round
Secret in motion when my feet are on the ground
Broken
We are broken
In my mind's eye
One little boy anger one little man
Funny how time flies

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."
American Town

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Side one of Big Chair may have "Shout" and "Everybody Wants to Rule the World," but by God, it's pretty hard to beat "Broken/Head Over Heels/Broken" and then followed up by the amazing "Listen," which was post-rock a decade before anyone knew what that meant.
I just love side two so much, and "Broken" is the anchor of the whole suite.
This song is beautiful, and although the lyrics and music are melancholy, the tone of the song is lifted by the singer and the energy. To me, the song means as we try to process trauma, or just come to terms with life, as we get older it doesn't get easier or clearer, but we learn that we can embrace the absence of meaning ourselves - we are broken, but you know what, it's better than just being in pain as you are breaking, and perhaps we need to break to get by?
Forgot to mention: I think 'Funny how time flies' refers to the fact that once you are 'broken', life is actually less torturous as you get on with living rather than searching out all the answers. Personally, although I'm glad to have a more happy life, it also feels like I've left the Great Question behind and that if I had searched longer I would have figured out how to make EVERYTHING alright.
isn't the end from Head Over Heels?
Love the bass at the begining of the song.
Yeah, Broken/Head Over Heels/Broken reprise was intended to be all one ongoing medley I believe
Beautiful work again by the best band ever. It all started with Broken. This showed up on the B-Side of their Hurting single 'Pale shelter'. They eventually worked it out to this final version. Head over heels was somewhat older, but just lyrics. Therefor they used the same bassline for HoH, and the final lyrics of Broken were reprised in HoH, so they directly threw in a reprise of the Broken melody. The one on the album is a live recorded solo. The studio version, as HoH is a studio song, can be found on the 'Preacher remix' of the song.
This song always makes me smile!
I can relate to this song's lyrics. Often in the process of self understanding (between the searching and need to work it out), I have stopped and thought , damn, Im fucked up. Sometimes it is too painful to continue when I realize in the moment how my life has been affected.
I love this song. In the 80's when so much synth pop was around it was awesome to hear a nice guitar drive song. I can relate to this song too much. Too often I get overwhelmed with the need to figure stuff out and make things better. So many of us are broken and being tossed about. Sometimes I still feel anger for things from my Youth that all these years later still burn in my gut - Funny How Time Flies.......
