This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Whenever I wake up
I'm lost and always afraid
It's never the same place
I close my eyes to escape
The walls around me
And I drift away
Inside the silence
Overtakes the Pain
In my dreams
I feel Immortal
I am not scared
No, I am not scared
I feel immortal
When I am there
When I am there
Whenever I wake up
The shards of us cut within
Always the same day
Frozen all in the fringe
I surrender to the sleep
And leave the hurt behind me
There's no death to fear
In my dreams
I feel Immortal
I am not scared
No, I am not scared
I feel immortal
When I am there
When I am there
So far or right beside me
So close but they can't find me
Slowly, time forgets me
I'm lonely, only dreaming
I feel Immortal
I am not scared
No, I am not scared
I feel immortal
When I am there
When I am there
I'm lost and always afraid
It's never the same place
I close my eyes to escape
The walls around me
And I drift away
Inside the silence
Overtakes the Pain
In my dreams
I feel Immortal
I am not scared
No, I am not scared
I feel immortal
When I am there
When I am there
Whenever I wake up
The shards of us cut within
Always the same day
Frozen all in the fringe
I surrender to the sleep
And leave the hurt behind me
There's no death to fear
In my dreams
I feel Immortal
I am not scared
No, I am not scared
I feel immortal
When I am there
When I am there
So far or right beside me
So close but they can't find me
Slowly, time forgets me
I'm lonely, only dreaming
I feel Immortal
I am not scared
No, I am not scared
I feel immortal
When I am there
When I am there

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."
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
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.
I feel that this could have two meanings.
First, it could be about suffering from depression. There being so much pain and fear in her wake, she "surrenders to the sleep."
"So far or right beside me So close but they can't find me Slowly, time forgets me I'm lonely, only dreaming" When you're depressed, you have low energy and are always sleepy and such. As she sleeps more, her loved ones are out living without her and having fun, while slowly forgetting her. She's lost in her dreamland, but she didn't realize it.
cough cough That interpretation makes no sense...
It could also be about a person with, let's say, avoidant personality disorder. She's always spending time by herself, daydreaming, in her own little world. When she's with other people, she's anxious and scared. She drifts out of consciousness and spends her sleep in that same world that she's carefully constructed to suit her tastes.
In her world, she is immortal, so she doesn't have to feel scared.
I somewhat agree with Tyrotoxin, although, the part about the avoidant personality disorder, doesn't make much sense in the context of this song. I actually believe that, apart from depression, she finds infinite comfort in herself. I don't consider her dreams to be literally dreams, but rather wishes, longings, the things she wants in life, a spark that lights her wick. That's why I've always thought about this song as a self-empowerment epic, and it has such a tone in my opinion. I think it's closely connected to the 'I Walk Alone' theme she has on her albums.
