This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
One, two
One, two, three, ow
Wake up, kids
We got the dreamers disease
Age fourteen, they got you down on your knees
So polite, we're busy still saying please
Frienemies, who when you're down ain't your friend
Every night we smash a Mercedes-Benz
First we run, and then we laugh 'til we cry
But when the night is falling
You cannot find the light (light)
You feel your dreams are dying
Hold tight
You've got the music in you
Don't let go
You've got the music in you
One dance left
This world is gonna pull through
Don't give up
You've got a reason to live
Can't forget
We only get what we give
I'm comin' home, baby
You're tops
Give it to me now
4 AM, we ran a miracle mile
We're flat broke
But hey, we do it in style
The bad rich
God's flying in for your trial
But when the night is falling
You cannot find a friend (friend)
You feel your tree is breaking
Just bend
You've got the music in you
Don't let go
You've got the music in you
One dance left
This world is gonna pull through
Don't give up
You've got a reason to live
Can't forget
We only get what we give
This whole damn world could fall apart
You'll be okay, follow your heart
You're in harm's way, I'm right behind
Now say you're mine
You've got the music in you
Don't let go
You've got the music in you
One dance left
This world is gonna pull through
Don't give up
You've got a reason to live
Can't forget
We only get what we give
Don't let go
I feel the music in you
Don't let go
Fly high, high
What's real can't die
You only get what you give
You're gonna get what you give
Don't give up
Just don't be afraid to leave
Health insurance, rip off lying
FDA, big bankers buying
Fake computer crashes dining
Cloning while they're multiplying
Fashion shoots with Beck and Hanson
Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson
You're all fakes
Run to your mansions
Come around, we'll kick your asses
Don't let go
One dance left
Don't give up
Can't forget
Don't let go
One, two, three, ow
Wake up, kids

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
this song is just so inspirational -- who can feel bad while listening to it! The front man and creative force for this band is Gregg Alexander from Grosse Pointe, Michigan (my own home state). Grosse Pointe is quite a rich area (probably why they added the "e" on the end of Gross and Point!). From what I have read however, Gregg was from your average middle class family and thus the references to 'smash your Mercedes Benz" "frienemies who when you're down ain't your friend" and "The bad rich -- God's flying in for your trial". The liner notes have some other unsung lyrics which are really interesting and further explain his political beliefs. I love the part best where he says:
This whole damn world can fall apart You'll be okay follow your heart You're in harm's way I'm right behind Now say you're mine
It kind of turns it more into a love song for a time.
Another great part it where he calls Beck, Hanson, Courtney Love, and Marilyn Manson fakes and sell-outs, "run to your mansions" Beck isn't too bad musically, Hanson is certainly ok for pre-teen girls. However watching Marilyn Manson just creeps me out too much! And Courtney Love, I am sorry, that's just not music. She is a good screamer yeah, but so am I! Should I dress slutty, and right the coattails of some dead guy, scream my guts out and call it talent? It's like the emperor's new clothes or something - wake up people IT'S NOT MUSIC!
Anyway back to the song I find it suck an upper! Too bad they disbanded. Gregg Alexander is now more into the production side of music. Maybe he was getting too rich and didn't want to sell out. Maybe it scared him having such a monster good song! Who knows! Anyway, too bad for all of us not to be able to look forward to any new stuff coming from that guy!
Also, I just want to say MICHIGAN ROCKS!
@zengirl41 I also hail from Michigan, although I've moved out of state, S.E. MI is still home... and I sorely miss Better Made Red Hots! And.I'd amputate the tip of my left pinkie to have Xochimilicos in my town. <br /> The reason Grosse Pointe is spelled that way is because it was a French town, like many of the older cities in the region, including Detroit. <br /> I love this song too, but I didn't know Gregg was from Michigan. <br /> I don't know if he wrote the complete structural arc of the music behind the lyrics, but whoever it was is a freaking genius, this song musically complex, yet simple, has so many phases with a simple, catchy hook throughout. A perfect balance of maestro and pop.
@zengirl41 I happen to be an all over music person meaning I explore EVERY single type of music and both courtney love and Marilyn Manson arent just 'screaming their guts out' if you paid attention their famous because their lyrics have a different meaning. They sing about how people can misjudge others, or how we take advantage of things for our own selfish desires, sometimes theyll sing something on a bas experience that happened to them. Like courtney sings a specific song called doll parts which i preferably like because shes singing how its hard to be a woman and being judged only on apearence and not on your ideals or morals so its hard. And when he says run to your mansions I think he actually means that by heart we all should consider our homes to be mansions since home is where the heart is and out hearts are big so Thank u for your time and no im not a goth girl I actually look like a typical pink cardigan nerd girl on tv.
