This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
It's all black
Your kingdom's turned me blank
I'm paper and I'm snow
I'm lost, but I can't slow
I'm lost, but not alone
It's so light, the dark it burns my eyes
My bones, they used to glow
But now I'm throwing stones
I'm losing where to go
Shadows on my back are moving slow
They twist behind like white leaves in the wind
And as I ride, these horses will take flight
Falling hard, falling high, through your arms
Shadows in my head don't need no light
They stay through the night
Without you, my lips are turning blue
The water pulls me down
And drowns under your sound
This silence booms so loud
I'm locked up, your kingdom's like a drug
The chains are made of glass
I'm breaking through your blood
I'm never strong enough
Shadows on my back are moving slow
They twist behind like white leaves in the wind
And as I ride, these horses will take flight
Falling hard, falling high, through your arms
Shadows in my head don't need no light
They stay through the night
To every rose with bloody thorns
It lift you up and lets you fall
To rivers flowing 'yond the factory halls
Your kingdom's come, it's waiting still
The space between you'll never fill
I tried, but I could not change your mind
I dance around, and I lost you now
I breathed you out, I kept you out
But if I could, I'd turn back around
Your kingdom's turned me blank
I'm paper and I'm snow
I'm lost, but I can't slow
I'm lost, but not alone
It's so light, the dark it burns my eyes
My bones, they used to glow
But now I'm throwing stones
I'm losing where to go
Shadows on my back are moving slow
They twist behind like white leaves in the wind
And as I ride, these horses will take flight
Falling hard, falling high, through your arms
Shadows in my head don't need no light
They stay through the night
Without you, my lips are turning blue
The water pulls me down
And drowns under your sound
This silence booms so loud
I'm locked up, your kingdom's like a drug
The chains are made of glass
I'm breaking through your blood
I'm never strong enough
Shadows on my back are moving slow
They twist behind like white leaves in the wind
And as I ride, these horses will take flight
Falling hard, falling high, through your arms
Shadows in my head don't need no light
They stay through the night
To every rose with bloody thorns
It lift you up and lets you fall
To rivers flowing 'yond the factory halls
Your kingdom's come, it's waiting still
The space between you'll never fill
I tried, but I could not change your mind
I dance around, and I lost you now
I breathed you out, I kept you out
But if I could, I'd turn back around

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."
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
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.
I don't know why they did this, but these are NOT the lyrics I submitted. I don't know what that lyric find thing is but it's pretty terrible at its job. I've noticed this with other songs I've submitted as well. Here are the correct lyrics:
It's all black Your kingdom's turned me black On paper and on snow I'm lost but I can't slow I'm lost but not alone
It's all light The dark, it burns my eyes My bones they used to glow But now, I'm throwing stones I'm losing where to go
Shadows on my back I'm moving slow They twist behind like White leaves in the wind And as I ride, these horses will take flight
Falling hard, falling high Through your arms Shadows in my head Don't need no light, they stay through the night
Without you My lips are turning blue The water pulls me down I'm trapped under your sun This silence feels so loud
I'm locked up Your kingdom's like a drug The chains are made of glass I'm breaking through the blood I'm never strong enough
Shadows on my back I'm moving slow They twist behind like White leaves in the wind And as I ride, these horses will take flight
Falling hard, falling high Through your arms Shadows in my head Don't need no light, they stay through the night
To every rose with bloody thorns It lifts you up, then lets you fall Two rivers flowing under factory holes Your kingdom's come, it's waiting still The space between, you'll never feel I tried, but I could not change your mind
I danced around And I lost you now I breathed you out I kept you out But if I could, I'd turn back around
