This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
DSP Verse:
The talent is sporadic & the downfall systematic
When ya dealing with the unreal & the state is problematic
All the rapping is erratic & relying on the look
And ya giving nothing back while degrading all ya took
For a name & money & fame, I understand
I want a bit of money too, but I'm gonna keep it real, man
Ain't gonna sell myself to a game where the image is king
I'ma say what I feel & be as honest as sin
I'ma bring myself to the fore
Push the pedal to the metal, burn a hole in the floor
Sick of the shit you're cramming airwaves with
Quintessentially demotic just to fit in with the clique
'Cos it's all the rage now
Forgetting the roots & just rapping for some weed & a root, now
Time for truth now, not fucking with the youth now
It's Maddy Lee & DSP & we coming round
We bringing it loud for the people who are feeling it
Ya knowing the culture, know that people tryna milk it
And we 'bout giving voice to the people
Who know what going on & wanna right all the wrongs
Now back to the track, attack the whack
And put the sound all around, you can't turn ya back
Ain't subliminal criminals coming at ya for the bank
And thinking minimal damage to manage, go have a wank
'Cos it's all ya really good at
No meaning, it's demeaning with the drugs, the hoes
The red & blue & the gats
I'm here to bat for a team with a dream
Tryna get on the scene without something too obscene
Like the next big thing
All the gangbangers bare their mic in the ring
Thing we can't stand is they think they are the shit
But they're just plain shit but fuckers don't realise it
'Cos this is their life, they think it's all good
When the bullshit is rife, ain't doing what they should
Tryna revive the hood instead of regenerate
Ghetto mentality playing with ya mindstates
Now the sails going down, this ship is going down
'Cos the public sees you as a clown
'Cos it is always the same, there's nothing new & nothing fresh
Popularity, vulgarity going together best
It's depressing, but it's a matter pressing
And I ain't guessing that ya think I'm jesting
It's damn right it's a sight when we tight, when we write like a fight
Give insight & we fucking up ya night
The talent is sporadic & the downfall systematic
When ya dealing with the unreal & the state is problematic
All the rapping is erratic & relying on the look
And ya giving nothing back while degrading all ya took
For a name & money & fame, I understand
I want a bit of money too, but I'm gonna keep it real, man
Ain't gonna sell myself to a game where the image is king
I'ma say what I feel & be as honest as sin
I'ma bring myself to the fore
Push the pedal to the metal, burn a hole in the floor
Sick of the shit you're cramming airwaves with
Quintessentially demotic just to fit in with the clique
'Cos it's all the rage now
Forgetting the roots & just rapping for some weed & a root, now

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."

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.
My verse on this song was my first studio recording, back in late 2008.
