This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Days passed by it turned to years from months
I can't even cry since I started taking drugs
Got no dopamine in my brain and it sucks
It's only me I can blame it's been tough
Since LSD at 17 I regret that
One sec' sipping lean now you've had a heart attack
My soul yeah it's known these drugs for time
So why did I bring opioids with the lines
Can't change the past but it doesn't feel right
Emotions been fucked since you fed those lies
Three seizures later no change I ain't fine
Man I'm still wondering if at 21 I'll die
Man it was humbling when I overdosed on xans
And my mum found me
Must've screamed and went mad
Frothing out my mouth she called 999
I woke up confused when the ambulance arrived
Rise me up I need to
Feel your touch
Codeine Spirit I
I need you
Thinking to myself how the fuck ain't I died
'Cus I know I've escaped death too many times
Shamefully pouring up need me a five
And I'll Mix it with oxy don't care 'bout my life
Can't even remember when I last prayed
Can't get myself to pattern up and behave
People walk over me I know I've made mistakes
But I can't change my mindset from feeling like a slave
Codeine Spirit bottles on deck
On the cruise ship met the angel of death
Drown me in shame
I don't know what to say
Put me in a grave before I go insane
I know I'm not righteous think purgatory's looming
Please don't hurt us we're already losing
Addiction's a menace man I feel like Corbin
'Cus it's time for my penance since I went all in
Let me know
If I'm better
I just need some more
Tonight
Codeine Spirit lift me high
Codeine Spirit set me free
Codeine Spirit lift me high
Codeine Spirit set me free
I can't even cry since I started taking drugs
Got no dopamine in my brain and it sucks
It's only me I can blame it's been tough
Since LSD at 17 I regret that
One sec' sipping lean now you've had a heart attack
My soul yeah it's known these drugs for time
So why did I bring opioids with the lines
Can't change the past but it doesn't feel right
Emotions been fucked since you fed those lies
Three seizures later no change I ain't fine
Man I'm still wondering if at 21 I'll die
Man it was humbling when I overdosed on xans
And my mum found me
Must've screamed and went mad
Frothing out my mouth she called 999

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."

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,

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.
Punchline

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
