This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
It isn't any different, it's the same old shit, it goes
I am oh, so fascinated
I am oh, so entertained
Standing here like a comedian
I repeat what I've said, again and again and again
Until the meaning has become an imitation of itself
An impression of an original defeats the fucking purpose
I don't know where this is going
But it's looking more and more like the same place that we started
Oh good God, holy shit, the joke's on us, not on them
Just pretending to be astronauts, police officers, and firemen
Oh good God, holy shit, the joke's on us, not on them
Just pretending to be astronauts, police officers, and firemen
And everybody's watching the lead singer in the band
The guitars exploding to a drumbeat that's driving
It's pretty fucking boring, isn't it?
And of all the things we'd ask
Of all the ways we'd like for it to be
They're just drunken conversations
Song lyrics sung at the top of our lungs so desperately
Like I believe in a power that is of and by the people?
I believe in an art that cannot be compromised
I believe all will endure, and all will overcome
And I will sing it until I no longer remember the reason
What was the reason?
I am oh, so fascinated
I am oh, so entertained
Standing here like a comedian
I repeat what I've said, again and again and again
Until the meaning has become an imitation of itself
An impression of an original defeats the fucking purpose
I don't know where this is going
But it's looking more and more like the same place that we started
Oh good God, holy shit, the joke's on us, not on them
Just pretending to be astronauts, police officers, and firemen
Oh good God, holy shit, the joke's on us, not on them
Just pretending to be astronauts, police officers, and firemen
And everybody's watching the lead singer in the band
The guitars exploding to a drumbeat that's driving
It's pretty fucking boring, isn't it?
And of all the things we'd ask
Of all the ways we'd like for it to be
They're just drunken conversations
Song lyrics sung at the top of our lungs so desperately
Like I believe in a power that is of and by the people?
I believe in an art that cannot be compromised
I believe all will endure, and all will overcome
And I will sing it until I no longer remember the reason
What was the reason?

Just A Little Lovin'

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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
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.
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.
ahh, no comments on a sweet sweet song?
It's about a band that is just tired of doing it over and over.
They are tired of the industry, not the music: I believe in an art that cannot be compromised.
"it isn't any different, it's the same old shit, it goes!..."
the version I have starts out with that and it's awesome.
I think he singing about being in a band is not as great as it seems. When he says "just kids pretending to be astronauts, police officers, and firemen" He means little kids want to grow up to be firemen, police officers, and astronaut's, but usually those dreams never happen. Maybe his dream was to grow up to be in a band, and it happened, but it's much harder than he thought, so the joke is on him.
well thats obviously not true quite the opposite hahahahahahahaha god tom gabel is #1
this song is about how he loves what he does but cant stand it at the same time. he loves it for the actual music, but hates the industry. he then, of course, starts to lose faith a little (the guitar's exploding to a drum beat thats driving. its pretty fucking boring, oh don't you think?) but he, at the same time, could never completely lose hope in it.
its an amazing song, because it not only describes the music industry perfectly but also many other things. it can relate to anyone.
I think it's "a power that is governed by the people". This is one of my fave tracks off SFAFC.
