This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
[Verse 1- Davey Havok singing]
There is misunderstanding that there’s a bliss beneath it all
That every time it’s never ending, there is a kiss to change us all
It’s in the dark, it’s in your photo that keeps on falling from the wall
Tell me it’s better way up there. I need you. I need you. I need you to tell me…
[Chorus- AFI]
Does it feel the same
After healing fame
And all the strange, strange, strange behavior?
Does it make it worse?
They mispronounce the hurt
I feel so strange. I’m still a stranger
[Verse 2- Davey Havok singing]
Is there the misunderstanding that there’s a hit of healing light?
Tell me the cuts finally stop showing before we kiss, again, the night
Here in the dark, tripping your picture I keep rehanging on the wall
I need you better way up there. I need you. I need you better
[Chorus- AFI]
Does it feel the same
After healing fame
And all the strange, strange, strange behavior?
Does it make it worse?
They mispronounce the hurt
I feel so strange. I’m still a stranger
[Bridge- Davey Havok screaming]
Does it feel the same?
Would I feel like you?
Because I still feel strange
Are you a stranger too? (I’m still a stranger)
I wish it mattered more (I’m still a stranger)
But I never will be you
I ALWAYS FEEL SO FUCKING STRANGE!!!
Are you a stranger too?
I'M STILL A STRANGER!
I'M STILL A STRANGER!!! (Are you a stranger?)
[Chorus- AFI]
Does it feel the same
After healing fame
And all the strange, strange, strange behavior?
Does it make it worse?
They mispronounce the hurt
I feel so strange. I’m still a stranger
I’m still a stranger
I’m still a stranger
There is misunderstanding that there’s a bliss beneath it all
That every time it’s never ending, there is a kiss to change us all
It’s in the dark, it’s in your photo that keeps on falling from the wall
Tell me it’s better way up there. I need you. I need you. I need you to tell me…
[Chorus- AFI]
Does it feel the same
After healing fame
And all the strange, strange, strange behavior?
Does it make it worse?
They mispronounce the hurt
I feel so strange. I’m still a stranger
[Verse 2- Davey Havok singing]

Tell me the cuts finally stop showing before we kiss, again, the night

[Chorus- AFI]

I’m still a stranger
I’m still a stranger

Mountain Song

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."

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Still surprised this has no entries. I had two theories on the lyric meaning. First is someone that you look up to, maybe who isn't there with you anymore. You need them BETTER because things where you are...is still the same.
The other part of it might be a feeling of being a stranger to yourself - kind of like an imposter syndrome type feeling. The talk about "healing fame" could also point to the fact that after STS, AFI isn't getting the same press attention ....
