This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Dr. Frankenstein, well he had no clue what he was doin'
You can't just give somethin' life and get it up on its feet and turn it loose
You gotta teach it how to act, you gotta teach it how to live
You gotta teach it how to love, you gotta teach it how to give
And if you don't then don't be surprised by that angry mob
Well, none of these lessons were ever taught by the father to the son
The only thing he ever got was "If you want somethin' done then get it done"
You gotta work and work and work some more,
You gotta do it yourself so that you can be sure
That the bolts are tight and the stitches will never fall out
Trapped up in the windmill, this was the end of course
Everyone in the crowd had a pitchfork or a torch
At this point he might just give in to his doom
Instead he did the only thing he was ever taught to do
And that's never give up, no, never slow down
Just keep on workin' and you'll pull through
Do it yourself, don't wait for help
Try to be fair and always tell the truth
The smoke was rising when the windmill was set aflame
The monster yelled to the mob, "Please let me explain"
He told them all about his first few rough minutes of life
He begged for forgiveness, he apologized and he cried
They dropped their torches and swords and they took his hand
They looked him in his mismatched eyes and said, "We understand"
We understand
You can't just give somethin' life and get it up on its feet and turn it loose
You gotta teach it how to act, you gotta teach it how to live
You gotta teach it how to love, you gotta teach it how to give
And if you don't then don't be surprised by that angry mob
Well, none of these lessons were ever taught by the father to the son
The only thing he ever got was "If you want somethin' done then get it done"
You gotta work and work and work some more,
You gotta do it yourself so that you can be sure
That the bolts are tight and the stitches will never fall out
Trapped up in the windmill, this was the end of course
Everyone in the crowd had a pitchfork or a torch
At this point he might just give in to his doom
Instead he did the only thing he was ever taught to do
And that's never give up, no, never slow down
Just keep on workin' and you'll pull through
Do it yourself, don't wait for help
Try to be fair and always tell the truth
The smoke was rising when the windmill was set aflame
The monster yelled to the mob, "Please let me explain"
He told them all about his first few rough minutes of life
He begged for forgiveness, he apologized and he cried
They dropped their torches and swords and they took his hand
They looked him in his mismatched eyes and said, "We understand"
We understand

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."
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
