This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Used to recognize the gun in your hand
Promise, squandered
Used to understand the stake in your heart
Mileage, road worth
But it's hard to recognize the massive burden
Born of bad deeds
And it runs in the family from beginning to end It is just revenge
Everybody build a monument to pain
Flowers, fast cars
Everybody raise the thief in your heart
It's just a beating
And it sounds just like a million other tributes
Customs and demons
And it runs in the family with a million regrets
It's just (It's just revenge) revenge
Everybody build a monument to fear
Unsafe people
Everybody raise a paranoid child
It's just an over-stimulated mind
It sounds just like a billion people starving with no resource for love
And it runs in the family with a million missteps
It's just revenge
Everything echoes
Everyone emulates
Everyone is a victim of their blood
Everyday initiate
Everything echoes
Everyone echoes
All of us are running with the wolves
All of us are running out of life
Promise, squandered
Used to understand the stake in your heart
Mileage, road worth
But it's hard to recognize the massive burden
Born of bad deeds
And it runs in the family from beginning to end It is just revenge
Everybody build a monument to pain
Flowers, fast cars
Everybody raise the thief in your heart
It's just a beating
And it sounds just like a million other tributes
Customs and demons
And it runs in the family with a million regrets
It's just (It's just revenge) revenge
Everybody build a monument to fear
Unsafe people
Everybody raise a paranoid child
It's just an over-stimulated mind
It sounds just like a billion people starving with no resource for love
And it runs in the family with a million missteps
It's just revenge
Everything echoes
Everyone emulates
Everyone is a victim of their blood
Everyday initiate
Everything echoes
Everyone echoes
All of us are running with the wolves
All of us are running out of life

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”

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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/
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.
That song is one of the best songs of the new album. I think it's linked to generations and generations of violence. It starts with "Used to recognize the gun in your hand", maybe parent's gun. All the rest is relationated with violence, loveless and careless families, and perturbed children.
For those who don't know. Derrick was bipolar. Being bipolar has been proven to be hereditary. This song talks about how Derrick used to recognize his problem and understand it. However, he got lost in the moment sometimes in being bipolar.
At least that's what it means to me...
