This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I'm in this prison built for you in this situation
I don't know what to do can't make a connection get a reaction there's this wall
and I can't get through you're dying some guilt with no words
what did I say what did I do youth hostels
I lodged kept seeing you as a mirage flashes of you were everywhere hoboken new jersey I'm in this prison built for you in this situation I don't know what to do always something makes me think things don't have to be so wrong you put up walls with nothing spoken in your weakness you're so strong
I don't know what to do can't make a connection get a reaction there's this wall
and I can't get through you're dying some guilt with no words
what did I say what did I do youth hostels
I lodged kept seeing you as a mirage flashes of you were everywhere hoboken new jersey I'm in this prison built for you in this situation I don't know what to do always something makes me think things don't have to be so wrong you put up walls with nothing spoken in your weakness you're so strong

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."
I Can't Go To Sleep

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.
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
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.
i dont really know, but im in love with it.
op. ivy has this way of being able to either make one syllable sound like 5 or 5 like one.. but its all good, they def have some catchy tuns i like to dance stupidly to : ) love and peace
seems to me like trying to talk to someone and they just wont let you, but i dont know what that has to do with Hoboken, New Jersey.
This is my favorite OpIvy song. To me, the song is about a bad scene, it happens in Hoboken, New Jersey. The bad scene was started by one person or band.
i duno to me it seems like its about someone being framed for sumthin, and mirages of the person who actually did the crime bothers the shit outa the guy in jail!
Sounds like a someone did something bad to someone else that really bothered them but they won't tell the other what's wrong. The person is very tightlipped but the other is very concerned about what exactly happened and can't stop thinking about what could possibly go wrong because he values their friendship. but really now, what's up with the Hoboken reference? I only hear good things about Hoboen.
I live about 2 hours away from Hoboken, New Jersey and there's a lot of drugs in that part of NJ.. mostly a lot of heroin is found there. But anyway, Tim Armstrong was addicted to drugs durin his time in OpIvy.. so the "you" reference in the song Hoboken.. could be a reference to drugs that he was addicted to
haha what?! Hoboken isn't a drug spot. It's yuppie as shit. Back in the 80's though, it was a lot more dangerous, so your assessment might be right.
But Hoboken is as safe as Times Square
