This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Free fall through our midnight
This epilogue of our own fable
Heedless in our slumber
Floating nescient we
Free fall through this boundlessness
This madness
Of our own making
Falling isn't flying
Floating isn't infinite
Come, our end, suddenly
All hail our lethargy
Concede suddenly
To the quickened dissolution
Pray we mitigate the ruin
Calling all to arms and order
Drifting through this boundlessness
This madness of our own making
Sound our dire reveille
Rouse all from our apathy
Lest we
Cease to be
Stir us from our
Wanton slumber
Mitigate our ruin
Call us all to arms and order
Sound the dread alarm
Through our primal body
Sound the reveille
To be or not to be
Rise
Stay the grand finale
Stay the reading of our swan song and epilogue
One drive to stay alive
It's elementary
Muster every fiber
Mobilize
Stay alive
Stir us from our
Wanton slumber
Mitigate our ruin
Call us all to arms and order
This epilogue of our own fable
Heedless in our slumber
Floating nescient we
Free fall through this boundlessness
This madness
Of our own making
Falling isn't flying
Floating isn't infinite
Come, our end, suddenly
All hail our lethargy
Concede suddenly
To the quickened dissolution
Pray we mitigate the ruin
Calling all to arms and order
Drifting through this boundlessness
This madness of our own making
Sound our dire reveille
Rouse all from our apathy
Lest we
Cease to be
Stir us from our
Wanton slumber
Mitigate our ruin
Call us all to arms and order
Sound the dread alarm
Through our primal body
Sound the reveille
To be or not to be
Rise
Stay the grand finale
Stay the reading of our swan song and epilogue
One drive to stay alive
It's elementary
Muster every fiber
Mobilize
Stay alive
Stir us from our
Wanton slumber
Mitigate our ruin
Call us all to arms and order

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."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
I'm going to try and keep this simple. There's a certain drive in a person to maintain their survival. This is having one last cry before the end, going down with a fight.
Considering how Maynard writes, lyrics are left pretty vague so you can interpret them as you will, to get you thinking. As an example: Parabola means something WAY different to me now than it did when I first heard it. See also how this album stagnated for so long, I can imagine this was written to get the band off their asses; maintain relevance, stay alive; even though it's likely the end anyways.
Sound the dread alarm, through the primal body; Sound a reveille to be or not to be. Rise, stay the grand finale; stay the reading of our swan song and epilogue.
Favorite moment of the album to me. Take care guys.
@Onedeadchicken what’s up dude hey just thought I’d say hello and give you some feedback on what I think parabola means. Well it’s a parable and see JESUS spoke in parables so it’s a mocking of Christ’s pain and suffering being a lie see by basically saying that this pain were expieriencing is an illusion.... in his parable boils down to if we take that as a literal belief like most people will it really does sound cool to hear and it took me awhile to put it together but it really means what it’s says and in so much of his music it’s all about separation from the Christian God he’s always referring to Jesus . Just. Like when he says there’s no love in fear I’ve studied his music it’s all based on the religion Mystery Babylon. He never mentions the names Osiris isis or Horus . But the light represents intellect also the sun represents primordial knowledge or Lucifer the morning Star wich is Osiris and the moon or million light reflection represents Isis like in reflection the song . Horus represents the child . Like in the jam pneuma “child wake up release the light “and then he says sun becoming . In reference to that religion the child releasing the light the knowledge to wake up and sun becoming “ all Mystery Babylon. One. More example in sober “ murder now the path it must be just because the sun has come . Sun represents the morning star symbol Osiris knowledge light or coming of the ani Christ in the murder of Christianity in the coming dark times . I’m telling you research it . Anyway I just went of on a tangent I get all excited thinking about it it’s really interesting. So also he says When he says the truth he’s referring to Jesus or God for example in the jam invincible as well. in the flood in undertow “ thought the sun had come to deliver me but the truth came to punish me instead “ the flood was god destroying and he thought the sun had come. And in the end he says purge and cleanse me in the water . The floods my favorite. also in reflection “ we are lifeless satellites with out her.” well I’m not trying to speak religiously but the truth be said Maynard’s music speaks rebellion and his music is religious he’s pushing his religion it’s all about religion most people don’t see that any way is love to get your thoughts
