This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Living alone
Is not the way for me
Words on the phone
They fade and die as I put it down
Feel like a stone
Emotionless, hard and cold
All on my own
I just can't find the way
[Chorus:]
So tell me I'm dreaming
Please wake me up
Pinch my arm as hard as you want
'Cause all of this madness
Makes sense when you're here
One & one is two, but not when two is one
Tired and slow
Time crawls by us now
Distance's a foe
Far, far too strong for my weary mind
Opening the door
The world lies endless, there below
Don't know where to go
I just can't find the way
[Chorus]
What good are numbers anyway
They put perspective on the game
But we're playing off the board
Oh the rules do not apply
I feel it, the energy
Keeping contact intravenously
Floating chemistry
Protones, electrones, forming atoms, molecules
Into complex lifeforms
So in perspective of the game
What good are numbers anyway
When we're playing off the board
Oh the rules do not apply
Tears from the ceiling
That's how I'm feeling
Falling - forgiving
Call of the living
Tell me I'm dreaming
Please wake me up
Pinch my arm as hard as you want
Tears from the ceiling
Tell me I'm dreaming
Water fulfilling
Life - a new meaning
So tell me I'm dreaming
Please wake me up
Pinch my arm as hard as you want
'Cause all of this madness
Makes sense when you're here
One & one is two, but not when two is one
But if you count you lose the point
So in perspective of the game
What good are numbers anyway
When we're playing off the board
Oh the rules do not apply
Is not the way for me
Words on the phone
They fade and die as I put it down
Feel like a stone
Emotionless, hard and cold
All on my own
I just can't find the way
[Chorus:]
So tell me I'm dreaming
Please wake me up
Pinch my arm as hard as you want
'Cause all of this madness
Makes sense when you're here
One & one is two, but not when two is one
Tired and slow
Time crawls by us now
Distance's a foe
Far, far too strong for my weary mind
Opening the door
The world lies endless, there below
Don't know where to go
I just can't find the way
[Chorus]
What good are numbers anyway
They put perspective on the game
But we're playing off the board
Oh the rules do not apply
I feel it, the energy
Keeping contact intravenously
Floating chemistry
Protones, electrones, forming atoms, molecules
Into complex lifeforms
So in perspective of the game
What good are numbers anyway
When we're playing off the board
Oh the rules do not apply
Tears from the ceiling
That's how I'm feeling
Falling - forgiving
Call of the living
Tell me I'm dreaming
Please wake me up
Pinch my arm as hard as you want
Tears from the ceiling
Tell me I'm dreaming
Water fulfilling
Life - a new meaning
So tell me I'm dreaming
Please wake me up
Pinch my arm as hard as you want
'Cause all of this madness
Makes sense when you're here
One & one is two, but not when two is one
But if you count you lose the point
So in perspective of the game
What good are numbers anyway
When we're playing off the board
Oh the rules do not apply

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."

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
This one is about the sum being more than the parts put together, especially when it's about a distance (phone-based?) relationship.
