This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Mama, I'm crying, did the silver angel warn the earth
From a blue sky falling?
Father, I'm frightened, what will happen if it falls again?
Will you be there to shelter me?
The little dot that falls, a little boy, that's all
That's all
Morning comes, I walk to school, but something's in the air
Things have changed, there's war at hand, but I'm too young to care
My home is a paradise, a jewel in the east
My family, they have seen the battles, they're praying for relief
Soon to be over, my father he said, victory is ours son
We will mourn all of our dead
I wonder what happens when a world is at war
In order to win, does someone else keep the score?
I think of my future on this beautiful day
How could I have known that the end's on its way?
The sky is quiet
Just one single plane
To bring destruction
Has mankind gone insane?
What happened to the land?
Metal fused with stone
Nothing remains, nothing lives
Burned through the bone
The sun touched the earth somehow, life melts away
One city barren wasteland, a split-second blaze
The heat turned the men to shadows, the sand into glass
A master stroke of evil in a blinding flash
The sea of dead and dying increases by the day
For years to come we pay the price of science gone astray
From a blue sky falling?
Father, I'm frightened, what will happen if it falls again?
Will you be there to shelter me?
The little dot that falls, a little boy, that's all
That's all

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” 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.

“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.
I think this song is about nuclear war. I think the bomb dropped on Hiroshima was codenamed "Little Boy", because witnesses said that only one plane was in the sky, and there weren't a bunch of them ready to carpet bomb the city. They didn't think it was going to drop the first ever nuclear bomb and vaporize Hiroshima, but that's what happened. Let's hope someday we will never see a city in ruins from a nuke again.
The song is about the devastating consequences of war, specifically, the dropping of an atomic bomb, with the title referring to the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, codenamed "Little Boy". It delves into the devastating consequences of war, particularly from the perspective of a young boy who witnesses the destruction caused by nuclear warfare. The lyrics vividly describe the transformation of the land into a barren wasteland, with thermal radiation burning shadows onto objects and extreme heat turning sand into grass.
This song brings backs the tragedy that struck the USA on September 11. It reminds me of a little boy looking into the sky and see disaster stike at an instant and his fear and questions towards his mother.
I'm surprised no one explained this.<br /> <br /> No it's not Sept 11. The album came out in 93. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanging_in_the_Balance.<br /> The lyric is clear that it's about dropping an atomic bomb. The Title is not so subtle: "Little Boy" was the codename of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Boy<br /> The song, and especially the lyrics is a masterpiece.<br /> "The heat turned the men to shadows, the sand into glass"<br /> Thermal radiation can burn shadows onto ojects. Extreme heat turns sand into grass.<br /> 16838563.nhd.weebly.com/successes.html ("shadow was burnt into the ground. The shadow is all that remains, as the man himself was vaporized.")<br /> 3.bp.blogspot.com/_KgBT8kIRgBo/TFx1s8X2h1I/AAAAAAAAGwo/6fQdnw2JcyA/s1600/Nagasaki%25252BShadows.jpg<br />
