This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I remember Johnny, hey
Johnny come lately
I remember her shoes like a ballerina
A girl called Johnny who
Changed her name when she
Discovered her choice was to
Change or to be changed
I remember a girl called Johnny
Black as hell and white as a ghost
"Don't talk about life or death"
She said I've had enough of both
A girl called Johnny who was not scared
They'd have torn her to pieces but
Who would dare?
I remember a girl called Johnny
The train came to town, boy she got on it
With no looking back, with not a word
If she said goodbye, well I never heard
But the noise goes on
The noise, the jazz
And the truth is in somebody else's hands
And the house that a girl called johnny built
Is now just ashes and sand
Johnny come lately
I remember her shoes like a ballerina
A girl called Johnny who
Changed her name when she
Discovered her choice was to
Change or to be changed
I remember a girl called Johnny
Black as hell and white as a ghost
"Don't talk about life or death"
She said I've had enough of both
A girl called Johnny who was not scared
They'd have torn her to pieces but
Who would dare?
I remember a girl called Johnny
The train came to town, boy she got on it
With no looking back, with not a word
If she said goodbye, well I never heard
But the noise goes on
The noise, the jazz
And the truth is in somebody else's hands
And the house that a girl called johnny built
Is now just ashes and sand

Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I think this is a song about a girl who refused to be something that the world may have wanted her to be. Like maybe she was tired of having to be this or that. To the line where she's had enough of life and death. I'm almost sure that it means she has seen to much of death (whether it be physical or the death of values and dreams) and she's tired of the troubles of life. The train could either be literal (like she left the town she had grown up in and the world she was raised in) or she killed herself. I think the second option is more likely because the whole song has a bitter, regretful tone. Like the artist is blaming society for the death of someone so unique and brave. Johnny could also represent any different, beautiful thing that the world has suffocated with values and rules.
