This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
The playback is here
Take a look, is all around you
You though you'd never shed a tear
So this must astound you, and must confound you
Buy a ticket for the train
Hide in a suitcase if you have to
This ain't no singing in the rain
This is a twister that will destroy you
You can run but you can't hide
Because no one here gets out alive
Find a friend in whom you can confide
Julien, you're a slow motion suicide
Fallen angles in the night
And everyone is barred from Heaven
Just one more hit to make it right
But everyone turns into seven
Now hat it's snowing in your brain
Another ten will not placate you
This ain't no killer for the pain
This avalanche will suffocate you
You can run but you can't hide
Because no one here gets out alive
Find a friend in whom you can rely
Julien, you're being taken for a ride
You can run but you can't hide
Because no one here gets out alive
Find a friend in whom you can confide
Julien, you're a slow motion suicide
Slow-motion suicide [x9]
Take a look, is all around you
You though you'd never shed a tear
So this must astound you, and must confound you
Buy a ticket for the train
Hide in a suitcase if you have to
This ain't no singing in the rain
This is a twister that will destroy you
You can run but you can't hide
Because no one here gets out alive
Find a friend in whom you can confide
Julien, you're a slow motion suicide
Fallen angles in the night
And everyone is barred from Heaven
Just one more hit to make it right
But everyone turns into seven
Now hat it's snowing in your brain
Another ten will not placate you
This ain't no killer for the pain
This avalanche will suffocate you
You can run but you can't hide
Because no one here gets out alive
Find a friend in whom you can rely
Julien, you're being taken for a ride
You can run but you can't hide
Because no one here gets out alive
Find a friend in whom you can confide
Julien, you're a slow motion suicide
Slow-motion suicide [x9]

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
'Julien' most likely refers to the character Julian Kay in Bret Easton Ellis's novel 'Less Than Zero', who was a heroin addict and male prostitute. This makes sense in the context of the "slow motion suicide" idea. Brian Molko name-checked the character of Julian Kay in the intro to their live version of the song "Special K" played at the Myspace Live Streaming Wednesday, on August 22nd 2007, so it's not some left-field guess.
The line "you're being taken for a ride" could be a reference to the movie version of Less Than Zero, where Julian (played by Robert Downey Jr) dies of an overdose during a car ride at the end of the movie.
The song where they mention the character: youtube.com/watch Trailer for the movie: youtube.com/watch
Exactly what I thought when I saw the song title and heard the lyrics!<br /> But then the snow references made me think of cocaine :/
Julian in Less than Zero was named Julian Wells, not Julian Kay, so they may be referring to someone else in that video. Also, the Julian from the novel never died, so he wouldn't be referring to that one. Still, I would love to think this song is actually about the movie version of Julian, who's story was considerably different than who was in the book.
