This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I went too far, yes I came too close
I drove away the one that I loved the most
Now I ride the tight on a boat made of sand
I'm sailing for another to guide me to land
And lead me into the night
Please drive away the light
Cause I've been blinded by glitter and gold
My eyes need to rest from this light
And sleep well at night
I traveled east and I traveled west
And I found a boy with a heart on his chest
I ran a ground my ship left to rust
Yes I found a guide in the city of lust
To lead me into the night
Oh please drive away the light
Although my mother will never understand
I walk with him away from the light
And into the night
Oh you, you, you, it's got to be you
Oh you, oh you, it's got to be you
True, true, it's true it's got to be you
Oh you, oh you, it's got to be you
To lead me into the night
Well I went too far and I came too close
I drove away the first one and now he's the coast
And I went to drift on a boat made of sand
It was leaking like a sift but I made it to land
It leads me into the night
He drives away in the light
He makes the darkness seem bright
And walks with me into the night
Away from the light
I drove away the one that I loved the most
Now I ride the tight on a boat made of sand
I'm sailing for another to guide me to land
And lead me into the night
Please drive away the light
Cause I've been blinded by glitter and gold
My eyes need to rest from this light
And sleep well at night
I traveled east and I traveled west
And I found a boy with a heart on his chest
I ran a ground my ship left to rust
Yes I found a guide in the city of lust
To lead me into the night
Oh please drive away the light
Although my mother will never understand
I walk with him away from the light
And into the night
Oh you, you, you, it's got to be you
Oh you, oh you, it's got to be you
True, true, it's true it's got to be you
Oh you, oh you, it's got to be you
To lead me into the night
Well I went too far and I came too close
I drove away the first one and now he's the coast
And I went to drift on a boat made of sand
It was leaking like a sift but I made it to land
It leads me into the night
He drives away in the light
He makes the darkness seem bright
And walks with me into the night
Away from the light

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."
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/
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
My interpretation is that here is someone who thought they were in love, and it was just that, an "in love" feeling and not something lasting. Love is not all light. It's a mix. It's standing your ground when the waves crash over you. It's actually being able to do that rather than just float on a "boat made of sand," a metaphor for "a wing and a prayer."
In short, boat/water equals the uncertainty. The land references the surety and stability.
My favorite part is "although my mother will never understand, I walk with him away from the ight and into the night." It has a few possible meanings, but I think it refers to a rite of passage in which some of the more traditional things are ignored in favor of striking out and finding a sense of self.
In some ways the night represents the unknown. The land represents safety. The safe unknown. The struggles to find oneself.
Not to downplay your interpretation, but I thought it was about a one night stand.
"I found a guide in the city of lust, to lead me into the night" ... can't break that down any further.
And the line "although my mother will never understand, I walk with him away from the light and into the night" just makes me think her mother doesn't understand her loose lifestyle.
It's like she had a choice of an easy life (filled with glitter and gold) but decided for a more difficult one, with someone who made her feel complete. She realized that beyond all the glitter there was nothing else. "Mother will never understand": the parents want their children to marry with someone wealthy, but the daughter is looking for something else.
For me this is about finding someone who'll stick through the night (and not someone who'll be long gone before daylight...). It's easy to find some company for the light, happy moments. Now having someone to lead you through the night is quite exquisite. She probably had someone like that, to just be there when she needed the most (i.e. the lonely nights), but fucked up somehow, looking for glitter and gold. Now she sails on boats made of sand...
