This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Friends
Photographs of your friends in their youth
Smiling through the flash bulb back at you
And on the way home they always said that they were sorry.
And you
Well you could make a federal case
But nothing you will ever, ever say, ever again
Will ever unburn the bulb.
It's not tonight, not tonight,
It's not tonight, no not tonight
And it never will be again
They led you on and now you are an embarrassment
To your family and friends
And tomorrow you'll be famous
And they will be lining up.
The ladies will scream your name.
You'll look into the mirror
To see if things are looking up
But things, they'll look the same.
You've got some vomit on your collar from last weekend
That evening with the poet.
And if your friends could only see him now,
Well they'd know you that you could never love him.
If there were tap dancing on the boulevard
It would make this seem fifty percent less hard.
You can make a grocery list of all your problems
But it won't make it any easier to solve them.
And tomorrow you'll be famous
And we'll be lining up.
The ladies, they'll scream your name.
You'll look into the mirror
To see if things are looking up
But things, they'll look the same.
It's not tonight, not tonight.
It's not tonight, not tonight
And it never will be again.
Photographs of your friends in their youth
Smiling through the flash bulb back at you
And on the way home they always said that they were sorry.
And you
Well you could make a federal case
But nothing you will ever, ever say, ever again
Will ever unburn the bulb.
It's not tonight, not tonight,
It's not tonight, no not tonight
And it never will be again
They led you on and now you are an embarrassment
To your family and friends
And tomorrow you'll be famous
And they will be lining up.
The ladies will scream your name.
You'll look into the mirror
To see if things are looking up
But things, they'll look the same.
You've got some vomit on your collar from last weekend
That evening with the poet.
And if your friends could only see him now,
Well they'd know you that you could never love him.
If there were tap dancing on the boulevard
It would make this seem fifty percent less hard.
You can make a grocery list of all your problems
But it won't make it any easier to solve them.
And tomorrow you'll be famous
And we'll be lining up.
The ladies, they'll scream your name.
You'll look into the mirror
To see if things are looking up
But things, they'll look the same.
It's not tonight, not tonight.
It's not tonight, not tonight
And it never will be again.

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”
