This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Somewhere beyond happiness and sadness
I need to calculate
What creates my own madness
And I'm addicted to your punishments
And you're the master
And I am waiting for disaster
I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am
Getting away with murder
It is impossible
To never tell the truth
But the reality is
I'm getting away with murder
(Getting away, getting away, getting away)
I drink my drink and I don't even want to
I think my thoughts when I don't even need to
I never look back 'cause I don't even want to
And I don't need to
Because I'm getting away with murder
I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am
Getting away with murder
It is impossible
To never tell the truth
But the reality is
I'm getting away with murder
(Getting away, getting away, getting away, getting away)
(Getting away, getting away, getting away, getting away, getting away with murder)
Somewhere beyond happiness and sadness
I need to calculate
What creates my own madness
And I'm addicted to your punishments
And you're the master
And I'm craving this disaster
I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am
Getting away with murder
It is impossible
To never tell the truth
But the reality is
I'm getting away with murder
(Getting away, getting away, getting away)
I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am
Getting away with murder
It is impossible
To never tell the truth
But the reality is
I'm getting away with murder
I need to calculate
What creates my own madness
And I'm addicted to your punishments
And you're the master
And I am waiting for disaster
I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am
Getting away with murder
It is impossible
To never tell the truth
But the reality is
I'm getting away with murder
(Getting away, getting away, getting away)
I drink my drink and I don't even want to
I think my thoughts when I don't even need to
I never look back 'cause I don't even want to
And I don't need to
Because I'm getting away with murder
I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am
Getting away with murder
It is impossible
To never tell the truth
But the reality is
I'm getting away with murder
(Getting away, getting away, getting away, getting away)
(Getting away, getting away, getting away, getting away, getting away with murder)
Somewhere beyond happiness and sadness
I need to calculate
What creates my own madness
And I'm addicted to your punishments
And you're the master
And I'm craving this disaster
I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am
Getting away with murder
It is impossible
To never tell the truth
But the reality is
I'm getting away with murder
(Getting away, getting away, getting away)
I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am
Getting away with murder
It is impossible
To never tell the truth
But the reality is
I'm getting away with murder

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."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
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.
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.
To ME? It seems to be talking about manipulation, possibly a SadoMaso relationship.
It's almost that he's manipulating someone into thinking that they're in control, making them think that they're his 'master' when they aren't, and he's leading them to their death, or at the very least an extremely unpleasant fate.
The first verse 'I need to calculate what creates my own madness, and I'm addicted to your punishment' would make it seem that he is only the submissive, the 'used' in this relationship. But other parts of the song contradicts that.
'It isn’t possible to never tell the truth, But the reality is I'm getting away with murder'
He's lying up and down, luring the person into a trap with his lies.
This was an interesting verse to me.
'I take my drink and I don’t even want to I think my thoughts when I don’t even need to I never look back cos I don’t even want to And I don’t need to because I'm getting away with murder'
He's doing all these things, he doesn't want to do them, but he's doing it to continue the illusion that he isn't the one in control. I have been in a relationship somewhat like this, manipulating the person into thinking they're in control, when they aren't. The person I was back in those days would be proud to know someone else knew how she felt.
Fascinating song.
I have a alteration too your idea of the relationship as you describe it.<br /> <br /> Somewhere beyond happiness and sadness: living with mixed up feelings about the relationship<br /> I need to calculate what creates my own madness: check the con's and pro's too see if it's worth to fight for.<br /> And I'm addicted to your punishment: Finding joy in some of the con's<br /> And you’re the master and I am waiting for disaster: The other person is in control, but he wants to find a mistake so he can breakup.<br /> <br /> I feel irrational, so confrontational: the feeling of being a nobody in the eyes of someone who expects allot from you. never being good enough<br /> To tell the truth again, I'm getting away with murder: the truth is deeper than the surface tell's, I am killing myself by letting you control me.<br /> It isn’t possible to never tell the truth: It's harder too hide the truth<br /> But the reality is I'm getting away with murder: the truth is I am killing myself by being with you.<br /> <br /> Getting Away, Getting Away, Getting Away<br /> <br /> I take my drink and I don’t even want to: You have all the control over me<br /> I think my thoughts when I don’t even need to: I'm thinking about things I don't want too think about during a relationship.<br /> I never look back 'cause I don’t even want to: I am afraid too look what I was and what I've become, because it's hard to see the truth.<br /> And I don’t need to because I'm getting away with murder: I know I have changed, I am not me anymore
