This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Could you, maybe,
Stop this from happening?
And I know it hurts, but
You don't have to walk away
And I don't know why
I want to stop myself from feeling low
And I don't know why
Lies know my name and lies I show
And I don't know why
I want to stop myself from feeling low
And I don't know why
I don't know why I even try
I can't be that way
When my life looks this grey
So I let go
I let go
And I don't know why
I want to stop myself from feeling low
And I don't know why
Lies know my name and lies I show
And I don't know why
I want to stop myself from feeling low
And I don't know why
I don't know why I even try
I can't be that way
When my life looks this grey
So I let go
I let go
I can't be that way
When my life looks this grey
So I let go
I let go
I've gotta leave it alone this time
Or I'll wallow in my mind
I've gotta leave it alone this time
Or I'll wallow in my mind
I've gotta leave it alone!
I've gotta leave it alone!
I've gotta leave it alone!
I've gotta leave it alone!
I can't be that way
When my life looks this grey
So I let go
I let go
I don't understand
Why clouds sit on my head
It looks like rain
I feel shame
I can't be that way
When my life looks this grey
So I let go
I let go
I don't understand
Why clouds sit on my head
It looks like rain
I feel shame
I can't be that way
When my life looks this grey
So I let go
I let go
I don't understand
Why clouds sit on my head
It looks like rain
Stop this from happening?
And I know it hurts, but
You don't have to walk away
And I don't know why

And I don't know why
Lies know my name and lies I show
And I don't know why
I want to stop myself from feeling low

I let go
I don't understand
Why clouds sit on my head
It looks like rain

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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 was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

“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.
first to comment. awesome. this band is super cool... ithnk its just about being hopeless... or trying again and again.. and failing.. then asking why you keep on trying.
the singer is amazin! screams with no effort at all, i'm, not a big fan of the band, but this song is quality! hopefully hear more stuff like this from them
This song's quite good
I can't believe how little comment's this song has had here, I love this song! The video is awesome too, I love the bit when he starts smiling hehe.
my boyfriends sucks.
he likes this song
This song rocks it was actually the song that got me listing to eighteen visions in the first place i think if i had never heard this song on kerrang i wouldn't even know about the band and no one in my class had ever heard of them eithier ,they are all inot crappy shit bands like mcfly,noise next door,ciara,50 cent ,and basically music that eithier has no meaning or is about girls .ect mcfly and noise next door i myself don't really like pop and would reahter listen to kerrang or scuzz than mtv and smash hits.I think this song is about some is sa dor miserable and then he just lets go of all his feeling and he feels better .Also James had got an awsome voice this may not be some peoples cup of tea and they are not really well heard of where i live but the kick ass all the same.
i love the bit on the video where he starts smiling too! "I can't be that way when my life looks this grey so I let go. I've got to leave it alone this time or I'll wallow in my mind" I think its about just letting go, when things get to you, just let go and forget about them, don't let them 'wallow' in your mind, dont bother about them!
Words cannot describe this song.It's just awsome.
These lyrics are a little bit wrong... but anyway... I love this song. Eighteen Visions are amazing.
