This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Alll day long I felt like
smashing my face in a clear glass window
But instead I went out
and smashed up a phone box round the corner
I never had a chance to choose my own parents
I'd never know why I should be stuck with mine
Mommy's always trying not to eat
and Daddy's always smelling like he's pickled in booze
I never had a chance to choose my own name
I'd never know why I should be stuck with mine
Mommy's always talkin' 'bout family pride
and Daddy's always hiding 'bout his week-end rides
All day long I felt like
smashing my face in a clear glass window
But instead I went out
and smashed up a station wagon round the block
I looked at the mirror and told myself,
I'm glad I still don't look like them at least
Mommy's like a film star in a distorted mirror
Daddy's like a guy who lost his stomach in the war
I went to shake hands with the president in Miami
I went to a rock show to see Mick Jagger
And you'd never believe it, surprise to my life
they had paint on their faces just like Mommy's
Am I going crazy or is it just you Daddy?
Am I going nuts or is it just you Mommy?
Am I plain gone or is it the world?
Daddy I'd rather have you dead than crazy
Trying to talk to them is like eating TV dinner when you're angry
Trying to get their love is like watching ice cream ad when you're hungry.
They gave me a watch that's guaranteed not to break
but my Mommy and Daddy broke up last fall
Am I going crazy or is it just you Daddy?
Am I going nuts or is it just you Mommy?
Am I plain gone or is it the world?
Mommy I'd rather have you dead than crazy
All day
smashing my face in a clear glass window

All day

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."

Just A Little Lovin'

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/
To me this song is all about angst, isolation, and coping with it anyway. This was the song that hooked me on Yoko Ono, and I've been a fan for more than 35 years!
