This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Oh, look at you now
Now that you've found out
The child you're raising is not your own
Tell me, tell me how does it feel
Now that she's revealed
Oh, your pride and joy is not your little boy
Tell me are you man enough?
Are you strong enough?
Can you take the strain? Can you bear the pain?
I wanna know, are you man enough?
Are you strong enough?
Can you take the strain? Can you bear the pain?
(Didn't I)
Now didn't I tell you that love can cause regret
(Didn't I)
And didn't I tell you that your match can be met
They hurt your pride, yeah, and you ache inside
Turned out that you have been taken for a ride
Look at you now (look at you)
Now that she has gone (ooh, ooh)
You got to raise him all alone (look at you)
Although he's not your own,
You must give him (ooh, ooh)
All your love and a happy home
Tell me are you man enough?
Are you strong enough?
Can you take the strain? Can you bear the pain?
All I wanna know is are you man enough?
Are you strong enough?
Can you take the strain? Can you bear the pain?
You're trapped between a shattered ego
And the child that loves you so
Ohh, you're caught in a bad situation
Causing complications
(Didn't I)
Now didn't I tell you love can cause regret
(Didn't I)
And didn't I tell you your match can be met
Although you're grieving, don't think of leaving
You got to try to make the most of it
Look at you now (look at you)
Now that you've found out (ooh, ooh)
The child you're raising is not your own (look at you)
Tell me, tell me how does it feel
Now that she's revealed (ooh, ooh)
Oh, your pride and joy is not your little boy
[Repeat x2]
Are you man enough? Are you strong enough?
Can you stay composed? Can you keep control?
Are you man enough? Are you strong enough?
Can you take the strain? Can you bear the pain?
Now that you've found out
The child you're raising is not your own
Tell me, tell me how does it feel
Now that she's revealed
Oh, your pride and joy is not your little boy
Tell me are you man enough?
Are you strong enough?
Can you take the strain? Can you bear the pain?
I wanna know, are you man enough?
Are you strong enough?
Can you take the strain? Can you bear the pain?
(Didn't I)
Now didn't I tell you that love can cause regret
(Didn't I)
And didn't I tell you that your match can be met
They hurt your pride, yeah, and you ache inside
Turned out that you have been taken for a ride
Look at you now (look at you)
Now that she has gone (ooh, ooh)
You got to raise him all alone (look at you)
Although he's not your own,
You must give him (ooh, ooh)
All your love and a happy home
Tell me are you man enough?
Are you strong enough?
Can you take the strain? Can you bear the pain?
All I wanna know is are you man enough?
Are you strong enough?
Can you take the strain? Can you bear the pain?
You're trapped between a shattered ego
And the child that loves you so
Ohh, you're caught in a bad situation
Causing complications
(Didn't I)
Now didn't I tell you love can cause regret
(Didn't I)
And didn't I tell you your match can be met
Although you're grieving, don't think of leaving
You got to try to make the most of it
Look at you now (look at you)

Oh, your pride and joy is not your little boy
[Repeat x2]
Are you man enough? Are you strong enough?
Can you stay composed? Can you keep control?
Are you man enough? Are you strong enough?
Can you take the strain? Can you bear the pain?

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."
