This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
My love I lack the confidence
To say what's on my mind
I guess I'm prone to shake and sweat
Confounded every time
I see you do the things you do
Pale and bright you shine
It goes I need you here with me
I need you just to see me
I need you here with me
Yet it is only a dream to me
I knew that you could save my life
Without a word exchange
Your way with words
So insecure
Can barely speak my name
My crumbled spine and faulty lines
I'm sick, I'm small and strange
I need you here with me
I need you just to see me
I need you here with me
Yet it is only a dream to me
I saw you standing there
Alone with you guitar
Like I was staring into the mirror
Seeing the same sad scar
I want to reach into you
I want to hold you here
But the tremors in your body make it hard to sleep
Yeah the tremors in my body make it hard to speak these words
I need you here with me
I need you just to see me
I need you here with me
Yet it is only a dream to me
I saw you standing there
Alone with your guitar
Staring into the mirror
It goes I need you here with me
I need you just to see me
I need you here with me
Yet it is only a dream to me
To say what's on my mind
I guess I'm prone to shake and sweat
Confounded every time
I see you do the things you do
Pale and bright you shine
It goes I need you here with me
I need you just to see me
I need you here with me
Yet it is only a dream to me
I knew that you could save my life
Without a word exchange
Your way with words
So insecure
Can barely speak my name
My crumbled spine and faulty lines
I'm sick, I'm small and strange
I need you here with me
I need you just to see me
I need you here with me
Yet it is only a dream to me
I saw you standing there
Alone with you guitar
Like I was staring into the mirror
Seeing the same sad scar
I want to reach into you
I want to hold you here
But the tremors in your body make it hard to sleep
Yeah the tremors in my body make it hard to speak these words
I need you here with me
I need you just to see me
I need you here with me
Yet it is only a dream to me
I saw you standing there
Alone with your guitar
Staring into the mirror
It goes I need you here with me
I need you just to see me
I need you here with me
Yet it is only a dream to me

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."

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Best song on the album.
This song is my favorite off the album. It sounds the best.
Favorite song off the album. In the third line I hear, "I guess I'm <b/>prone</b> to shake and sweat" Other than that good job.
so basically, the homo-erotic cover art tells exactly what most of this album is about: max bemis and chris conley being in gay love with one another, and singing about it. i'd like to see this live to see if they make out.
i will say this though: its not quite as bad as in defense of the genre was, so that's a plus.
I really liked the album, however there is definitely a gay theme to the album. I think the project was written as one singer with two tongues, so they are the same character throughout the album.
haha i don't think it has a homo-theme.
"Alone with you guitar Like I was staring into the mirror Seeing the same sad scar I want to reach into you I want to hold you here"
I believe this is about max and chris' friendship. max was a huge fan of saves the day growing up. later in life, they became friends. i think chris is saying that max and him are similar in what they are trying to achieve with their music.
I was thinking the same thing with the Homo-erotic theme. Mainly because of this song, interlude, and If I could make you do things. If it's not meant to be homo-erotic, then these two must have an extremely close friendship.
watch the video on their myspace page. it explains why it may seem homo.
gay, straight, whatever... this is just an amazing song.
Like the entire record, this song is so homoerotic but I wouldn't say it's about a gay relationship. More aboout 'mateship' than anything else.
