This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Sarah wrote epistles on the subject of despair
on the only night last year when there was no love in the air.
Listen friend she wrote, and I heard her pen cry before it broke.
Who are we and why, oh why can't we behave?
We are good people, aren't we? Do you know?
Jon-jon had surprising eyes and narrow black suede shows,
a war to fight in Paris and a sister with the blues.
Pusique ton papa est en voyage you've heard your mother making
love is not what we are Jon-jon, you and I
are rats at cupids table but we're fine.
In the darkest corner of a downstairs gathering
ladybirds and pirate cowboys, made up, conversing.
Islands sinking from musicians, bedtime stories, York Magicians,
but you don't have to worry darling, frozen hearts leave
seetrough scarring, and no one else will know unless you tell.
Drink to ghosts of past years' catastrophic love affairs,
to robes of red and silver tales worn thin from too much care.
Comfort doesn't always come in glasses, but perhaps tonight
I won't be the only one with blue headlights.
Come on ladies, take your love to town.
Pick it up boys, take your love to town.
Everybody, take your love to town.
on the only night last year when there was no love in the air.

Hayalperest
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.

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”
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."
Amazing

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.
This song is freaking phenomenal. These are the best lyrics I've seen from the Shout Out Louds. I love them and can't wait for the new album!

wow
Wow, this song is definitely one of the best off the new C.D. Not only does it add a nice touch to have Bebban singing it, and the lyrics once again prove golden. Like most of their songs, the beginning has to do with personal stories. However, the end contains generalizations that prove relatable without being cliche. Genius.
what does she mean with 'blue headlights'?
Here's my thoughts on the song.
Clearly, the song is about someone who's been damaged from a bad relationship, she's suffering with heartbreak from "Jon-jon", the guy who was the centre of "last years catastrophic love affair". She recognises now that the relationship wasn't the greatest, probably more or less based on sex. "We're rats at cupid's table", what they have, or had, wasn't love or anything approaching it.
She's gone through the break up, and has vented her frustration at the whole ordeal, she wrote "her epistles" on how she felt about it, him. As much as she would like to think she's past it all, she really isn't. This is made clear in the third verse. She sees everyone as a faker, a user, "lady birds and pirate cowboys made up conversing", there's no one genuine in this world. She's isolated herself, her heart from these people. "Frozen hearts leave see through scarring, no one needs to know unless you tell". She's hidden her heart from view of everyone, to the the others she comes off cold, mean, bitter.
My interpretation of the words "Blue Headlights" is that it means to be outwardly and obviously upset, miserable, heartbroken. Blue, a cold colour, but also meaning here I think the state of being "blue". Headlights, well, they act to project and illuminate, in this sense projecting to the world that she is "blue", she's depressed, upset, heartbroken.
She's optimistic in the fact she hopes she's not the only one feeling this way, that she's not the only one with "blue headlights". She feels that these hurt people are the only genuine souls left, because they still feel their hurt.
The last few lines, I can take two ways.
Come on ladies, take your love to town. Pick it up boys, take your love to town. Everybody, take your love to town.
The first is quite a bleak outlook, putting a happy face on things, making to the world that you're happy, full of love. Go out, take your love, find a partner, the cycle of hurt and heartbreak repeating. Given the other songs off the album, like Impossible and Hard Rain, I think I lean toward this more, the whole album is about heartbreak and relationships breaking up, the memories and feelings that go with that.
The other way I see these lines is to work on yourself, to become healed and really go "to town" on your love. To love in the best way that you can do, it's a message about not being jerks in love to people, that everyone should love to the best they can.
