This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
On the road, no way home,
Guess I gotta keep rollin' on til the lights come on.
I'll sing a song, it won't take long,
Shut my eyes and I'm back where I belong
In trouble's arms
Singing mama's songs when the lights come on.
She said, 'we've gotta keep walking, keep walking.'
She said, 'we've gotta keep walking on.'
I had a dream late last night,
Someone stole my boots in broad daylight.
I put up no fight.
They were out of sight, I still felt alright.
So I walked on, barefoot, strong,
All the other troops marched towards the bomb,
But I wandered off.
They said, 'man, what's wrong?'
I said, 'the light turned on.'
She said, 'we've gotta keep walking, keep walking.'
She said, 'we've gotta keep walking on.'
We lost the highway
With smoke in our eyes.
With these hands and this place,
We will spread our own design.
Spread our own design.
She said, 'we've gotta keep walking, keep walking.'
She said, 'we've gotta keep walking on.'
She said, 'we've gotta keep walking, keep walking.'
She said, 'we've gotta keep walking on.'
She said, 'we've gotta keep walking, keep walking.'
She said, 'we've gotta keep walking on.'
Guess I gotta keep rollin' on til the lights come on.
I'll sing a song, it won't take long,
Shut my eyes and I'm back where I belong
In trouble's arms
Singing mama's songs when the lights come on.
She said, 'we've gotta keep walking, keep walking.'
She said, 'we've gotta keep walking on.'
I had a dream late last night,
Someone stole my boots in broad daylight.
I put up no fight.
They were out of sight, I still felt alright.
So I walked on, barefoot, strong,
All the other troops marched towards the bomb,
But I wandered off.
They said, 'man, what's wrong?'
I said, 'the light turned on.'
She said, 'we've gotta keep walking, keep walking.'
She said, 'we've gotta keep walking on.'
We lost the highway
With smoke in our eyes.
With these hands and this place,
We will spread our own design.
Spread our own design.
She said, 'we've gotta keep walking, keep walking.'
She said, 'we've gotta keep walking on.'
She said, 'we've gotta keep walking, keep walking.'
She said, 'we've gotta keep walking on.'
She said, 'we've gotta keep walking, keep walking.'
She said, 'we've gotta keep walking on.'

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
My favorite Willy Mason song.
To me this song is about persevering through one's dissatisfaction with society/culture. The use of light reflects the age old symbol of knowledge or enlightenment. WHen he talks about continuing on barefoot strong despite those who have attacked his beliefs or tried to take something valuable away from him, he continues on his quest. While the other troops marched towards the bomb, they asked :hey man whats wrong? and :i said the light turned on:. Here he realizes that war is wrong (the light turned on)
Continuing with the theme of perseverance:
We lost the highway With smoke in our eyes. With these hands and this place, We will spread our own design. Spread our own design
We way no longer know the way, or be on the fast track we thought we had, but we will continue and we will overcome and make what we can of this life with our ideas "with these hands and this place we will spread our own design"
