This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I met you somewhere
In a hell beneath the stairs
There's someone in that room
That frightens you when they go boom
Boom, boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom
The color you say is black is the one you might lack
In the size of your eyes, is there a righteous prize?
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
I met you, I met you
Oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh
There's something wrong with our hearts
When they beat pure, they stand apart
In the black room, the light, watch the seabird fall
Real love, it finds you somewhere with your back to it
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh
I met you, I met you
Oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh
We know, we know
We belong by the stream, into the dawn
We know, we know
We belong by the stream, into the dawn
We know, we know
We belong by the stream, into the dawn
We know, we know
We belong by the stream, into the dawn
In a hell beneath the stairs
There's someone in that room
That frightens you when they go boom
Boom, boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom
The color you say is black is the one you might lack
In the size of your eyes, is there a righteous prize?
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
I met you, I met you
Oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh
There's something wrong with our hearts
When they beat pure, they stand apart
In the black room, the light, watch the seabird fall
Real love, it finds you somewhere with your back to it
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh
I met you, I met you
Oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh
We know, we know
We belong by the stream, into the dawn
We know, we know
We belong by the stream, into the dawn
We know, we know
We belong by the stream, into the dawn
We know, we know
We belong by the stream, into the dawn

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”
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."
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/
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.
My take:
"i met you somewhere in a hell beneath the stairs There's someone in that room that frightens you when they go boo(m)"
The writer speaks of a chance meeting and paints a room, a place where exists darkness and fear. These lines may convey things like anxiety, fear of intimacy, shyness or depression.
"the color you say is black is the one you might lack In the size of your eyes, is there a righteous prize? "
It seems to me the person she met may have an overly-simplistic concept of good or limited world-view. Perhaps he is religious and self-righteous in terms of what he seeks to find in love.
"there's something wrong with our hearts when they beat pure they stand apart"
A conundrum exists. The two, though seemingly drawn together, are unable to connect at a deep level, or are unable stay together long enough for it to work out.
"in the black room, the light, watch the seabird fall"
The light is the writer, or the path upon which the seabird flies into the mind and heart of the other. The trajectory misses. The seabird falls, or it fails to find the heart of the other. Sadly it laments:
"real love, it finds you somewhere with your back to it"
An opportunity for genuine, authentic love is not realized. The person has turned his back, due to an unwillingness to accept it or a difference in personal values. The line "i met you" repeated throughout highlights the feeling of regret or sadness due the inability of the romance - the connection - to take form. It adds to the haunting, sad quality of the song. Real love, then, is fleeting and distant. Longing, the songbird sings out, looking back with regret. We, the dreaming listener, relate and empathize as it transports us to an emotional place. Beautiful and well written.
Wonderful interpretation ~ your words convey well the feeling & intent in this lovely song. Thank you.
@ParadiseIsBurning Love this interpretation!
"there's something wrong with out hearts/when they beat pure they stand apart" - stunning. this song planted roots; it lives inside my chest.
I find this song absolutely haunting.
"I met you..."? I mean goddamn! "Real Love" (a capitalized essence concept), it finds you.
"I met you". and that's all. You met real love, but that's all.
Incredible songwriting. Beach House has really hit their creative stride. Best album of 2010 candidate.
If I could kiss any track off of the album, it'd be this one right here.<br /> So good. SO good.
"In the sights of your eyes" makes more sense in context, and sounds more correct.
This is a beautiful song. I've had and have been listening to Teen Dream for a good while, but only recently has this song really come to my attention. Certain parts really stir something and get stuck in my head - 'I met you, I met you', 'Real love, it finds you', 'You know, you know, we belong'.
Jesus christ. I almost broke down listening to this. Heartrending.
I DID break down listening to this song, hardcore. holy fuck
"Real love, it finds you somewhere with your back to it"
So true. Such an amazing song.
I think in the first verse it goes: "it frightens you, and they go 'boo'/boo, boo, boo, boo," and so on.
Additionally, the second verse should start with, "the color you say is black..." and then I don't understand the next line after that.<br /> <br /> Anyways, this song is wonderful, as is the album. This song could have just been a piano ballad, but there's something special and unique about it. The "clicking" or what sounds like a metronome at the beginning is a nice touch.
I think it says "It firghtens you when they go boo, boo boo boo" and then "real love, it finds you somewhere with your back to it"
