This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
This is the window where
I watched the future start
My pupils dilated
The shock sped up my arms
I shut my ambushed eyes
And turned my face towards the heat
I felt the city choke
I heard the world at war
I prayed for providence
God said, don't pray no more
You went and made your mess
Now keep your blame off my feet
So I got off my knees
I faced the devil's day
The sky was murder red
The streets were headstone gray
A flaming ferris wheel
Spun where the sun used to be
I watched it's buckets dip and dance
I saw a couple making love lock hands
They were pushing for abandon and the answers it could bring
90 million miles from the graveyard growing over everything
I saw my lover chased
Through fields of sugarcane
She clutched her belly close
And whispered, "keep us safe"
They ground her down to dust
No more miracles today
I dreamt myself awake
In a resort hotel
Above a golden coast
Beside my Southern belle
We heard the sea reborn
In each singing shell
And every coughing car
And every coiled snake
And every shrieking star
And every burning stake
Dissolved to atmosphere
All of everything, erased
I spread into a distant hum
I droned along with everyone
And the earth grew green and nursed herself to what she used to be
All our senseless shouting calmed to quiet in her ancient memory
And oh, what a joy
To be free
I watched the future start
My pupils dilated
The shock sped up my arms
I shut my ambushed eyes
And turned my face towards the heat
I felt the city choke
I heard the world at war
I prayed for providence
God said, don't pray no more
You went and made your mess
Now keep your blame off my feet
So I got off my knees
I faced the devil's day
The sky was murder red
The streets were headstone gray
A flaming ferris wheel
Spun where the sun used to be
I watched it's buckets dip and dance
I saw a couple making love lock hands
They were pushing for abandon and the answers it could bring
90 million miles from the graveyard growing over everything
I saw my lover chased
Through fields of sugarcane
She clutched her belly close
And whispered, "keep us safe"
They ground her down to dust
No more miracles today
I dreamt myself awake
In a resort hotel
Above a golden coast
Beside my Southern belle
We heard the sea reborn
In each singing shell
And every coughing car
And every coiled snake
And every shrieking star
And every burning stake
Dissolved to atmosphere
All of everything, erased
I spread into a distant hum
I droned along with everyone
And the earth grew green and nursed herself to what she used to be
All our senseless shouting calmed to quiet in her ancient memory
And oh, what a joy
To be free

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.
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
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

"The earth grew green, and nursed itself to what she used to be. All our senseless shouting calmed to quiet in her ancient memory..."
Is a statement that, without humans, the earth can truly flourish, we are the cancer of the world perhaps.
I dunno, that is just my opinion.
great, i've been expecting for this to happen since i can remember..
I might not be giving it enough thought but it sounds like he's talking about his girlfriend having their child
she clutched her belly close and whispered, "keep us safe" they ground her down to dust no more miracles today
i dreamt myself awake in a resort hotel above a golden coast beside my Southern belle we heard the sea reborn in each singing shell
I don't know a lot about his personal life though, so I could be wrong.
no, i don't think this is about kevin getting anyone pregnant.
i feel like this song is what kev sees happening for our society in the near future "she clutched her belly close, she whispered 'keep us safe'" I think is kevin's oppertunity of ever having a family, wife, kids, love, telling him to wake up and remedy his wars with himself and that he needs to keep his head on ('keep us safe') while america goes to shit so that he can one day have that house and picket fence and ya know, the american dream.
"How everyone talks about how we're going to do all this stuff and how we're going to end the world with either nuclear war or with what we're doing with the environment, but we're actually not, we're just going to end us. and the world will be fine, and all the trees will grow back and all the cities will be erased, and we'll be this little blip. and that's very comforting to me... so this song is about that"
a very loosely interpretted quote of a live song from Danbury CT.
PS I love you Cady!
Jes, I love you MORE. WHAT A GREAT SHOW THAT WAS!
anywho, agreed. this song is about how Kevin sees the environment reacting to all the years of damage we've done. rather than fixing things, the human race will one day be extinct, leaving mother nature to take her rightful toll on earth and erase what we've built in order to rebuild what once was.
sparkling song by a smooth voice. i've been listening to this for months. beauty beauty beauty.
It's about the world ending.
At a show he said: "one thing that's very comforting about everything that's going on, about the craziness is everyone talks about how we are going to do all this stuff, we are going to end the world with nuclear war, or with what we're doing to the environment, but its not like that... we are just going to end us and then the world will be fine, and all the green will grow back, and all the cities will be erased and we will just be this little blip, and that's very comforting to me, I mean we just fuck ourselves"
but its not about the world ending
its about humanity ending and the earth flourishing again when we're gone
Song is so good, reminds me of Elliott (RIP <3)
