This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
She drove it like she stole it
She stole it fast and with a multitude of casualties
She said I shipped it out from boulder
Packed in coffee grounds and wrapped around in dryer sheets
We spent a few months just wandering the Sonoma
High as hell and shivering and smashed
We were trying for a vision quest
We opened up three buttons
And all we saw was desert trash
It's a funny bit of chemistry
How a cool car makes a guy seem that much cooler
And it's worth noting that throughout history
Kids come around the corner to a multitude of casualties
We spent a few hours circling the city
Like a hawk out on the highways
We were looking around for something that just died
We heard the deacon's hopeful eulogy
At least in dying you don't have to deal with new wave for a second time
And after your party we got off the grid
We just couldn't get with all those clever kids
And now we forage on the frontage roads
We drive at nights I guess it just feels somewhat safer
Yeah, we scrounge around for sustenance
We mostly eat it in the back half of the theaters
We spent a few years nodding off in matinees
We were high as hell and shivering and smashed
Yeah, we were hoping for an action adventure
Something loud that we could feel through all the Feminax
And after the movie we got off the ground
Got in your car and crawled around in Lowertown
Yeah, while she was at the Citadel
He was getting high as hell
When she came to in the matinee
She was asking round for someplace else to stay
While he was down in Lowertown
She was feeling out the 5:30 folk mass
And the night she got born again
He was getting with her little hoodrat friend
They did the "Wade in The Water" into "One Tin Soldier"
She started to cry
Yeah, Youth Services always find a way
To get their bloody cross
Into your druggy little messed up teenage life
She stole it fast and with a multitude of casualties
She said I shipped it out from boulder
Packed in coffee grounds and wrapped around in dryer sheets
We spent a few months just wandering the Sonoma
High as hell and shivering and smashed
We were trying for a vision quest
We opened up three buttons
And all we saw was desert trash
It's a funny bit of chemistry
How a cool car makes a guy seem that much cooler
And it's worth noting that throughout history
Kids come around the corner to a multitude of casualties
We spent a few hours circling the city
Like a hawk out on the highways
We were looking around for something that just died
We heard the deacon's hopeful eulogy
At least in dying you don't have to deal with new wave for a second time
And after your party we got off the grid

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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'
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/

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.
"Multitude of Casualties" is the beginning of Holly's redemption and, most likely, is the counterpoint to "Your Little Hoodrat Friend." There is a hint that Holly's previous life- the suburban "good girl" who attended Mass- is something she actually wants once again. Holly makes her way back to church services while Holly's boyfriend- the narrator from "Hoodrat" and, presumably, Gideon- is shown for what he is.
This is the bridge between the early half of the record and "Crucifixion Cruise."
what is the sonoma? i mean i always assumed it was a desert, but i decided to look it up and couldn't really find anything specific.
"The Sonoma" = the sonoma valley. Gideon is NOT the narrator (the lead singer is-Craig)///Doesn't Holly = Hallelujah= the hood rat friend ("Holly was a hood rat, now you finally know that...") I think it fits, by and large. Of course, the lyrics are pretty layered so it makes things harder to unravel.
Yeah but towards the end of the song it says: And the nite that she got born again he was getting with her little hoodrat friend. And it states several times throughout the album that holly is the "hoodrat" So who is the other hoodrat the male (whom we assume is Gideon) is getting with? Cause it can't be holly, she was at the citadel getting born again..
Holly is a hoodrat and she has hoodrat friends. There's more than one of them.
"We were trying for a vision quest we opened up three buttons And all we saw was desert trash"
A reference to Cattle and the Creeping Things, Holly wears a cross that shows when she opens three buttons on her shirt. The desert trash is the cross.
There's a reference to that song in a George Pelecanos novel called Cut. He writes crime novels that take place in D.C.
I cannot believe nobody has commented on this awesome song.
Pretty simple song. Bunch of teenagers driving around the city looking for something to do.
...and yet also infinitely deeper than that.
