This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
""This in audible voice has flattered my ears An unreal sound of distress a sensation that aroused my being This moment was all yours but the pleasure was all mine All the weight I've been carrying vanished for a valuable instant One day when this curtain will fall Masks will be shattered Your eyes silently scream astonishing grief The satisfaction I devour is not retribution Your sorrow's my devotion I'll be rewarded with your degradation Nourished by bitter passions My hunger for human deprivation will be quenched No retribution Your sorrow's my devotion A furtive monologue This unspoiled opus wasn't meant to persist eternally Masks and disguises returned to their relevant closets This theatrical masquerade will be lead to its irrevocable ending One day or another One day when this curtain will fall Masks will be shattered""

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."

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.
Obviously about realizations.
"One day when this curtain will fall Masks will be shattered"
Its about revenge I think.
To me this is about the someone in denial about who they really are but they cant run from it for long
This is perhaps my favorite song from the album, due to the lyrics. To reply to blacklabel1 it's not just revenge. As the lyrics say: "No retribution Your sorrow's my devotion"
If someone saw the video of this song you'll catch me that this is about fighting back at society. "This unspoiled opus wasn't meant to persist eternally" "This unspoiled opus" stands for society, and it wasn't meant to persist eternally. In the video you see a city being destroyed.
The protagonist in the story feels like something is out of place, it is being told by "inaudible voice", it is the furtive monologue he needs to destroy society. The protagonist feels like being part of the world that hates humanity destroying the world. The protagonist may also be humanity itself, having to destroy its self-build society eventually. I'm pretty sure they mean society with "this masquerade". It could also be an unspoken subject between people, and people keeping up appearances for it and someone decides he won't be pretentious anymore.
Also my first thought on the title of the song "Furtive monologue" made me think it could also simply be about someone whispering that he is about to destroy something/someone.
