This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Marky got with Sharon
Sharon got Cherese
She was sharing Sharon's outlook
On the topic of disease
Mikey had a facial scar
And Bobby was a racist
They were all in love with dyin'
They were doing it in Texas
Tommy played piano
Like a kid out in the rain
Then he lost his leg in Dallas
He was dancing with a train
They were all in love with dyin'
They were drinking from a fountain
That was pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
I don't mind the sun sometimes
The images it shows
I can taste you on my lips
And smell you in my clothes
Cinnamon and sugary
And softly spoken lies
You never know just how to look
Through other people's eyes
Some will die in hot pursuit
Fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
I don't mind the sun sometimes
The images it shows
I can taste you on my lips
And smell you in my clothes
Cinnamon and sugary
And softly spoken lies
You never know just how you look
Through other people's eyes
Another Mikey took a knife
While arguing in traffic
Flipper died a natural death
He caught a nasty virus
Then there was the ever-present
Football player rapist
They were all in love with dyin'
They were doing it in Texas
Pauly caught a bullet
But it only hit his leg
Well it should have been a better shot
And got him in the head
They were all in love with dyin'
They were drinking from a fountain
That was pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
I don't mind the sun sometimes
The images it shows
I can taste you on my lips
And smell you in my clothes
Cinnamon and sugary
And softly spoken lies
You never know just how you look
Through other people's eyes

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.

Head > Heels

“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.
This song is about heroin. Like really really obviously about heroin. "I can taste you on my lips and smell you on my clothes cinnamon and sugary..." If you've ever been around or been a junkie you don't forget that not quite opium not quite cinnamon reek and the smell really is so sweet you can taste it. Knowing this the rest of the song is pretty easy to decipher. Junkies tend to have short ugly lives unless they stop being junkies(choose life)"Some will fall in love with life and drink it from a fountain"
I accidentally flagged you instead of replying (I do that sometimes), but you're a winner dude. I was starting to see what all the people above you were saying, but then I saw this and said, "Here we go, this guy know's his shit." Sometimes things are as simple as they first seem.
ahh the drug interpretation people always do this... you have tunnel-vision that addresses only the drug-suggestive parts of the song. And I'm not saying you're wrong - in fact, I agree with you, I think that those lines you quoted do in fact point to heroin - but just saying that isn't interpreting the song. You're leaving out quite a few important lies, like the entire rest of the chorus.<br /> <br /> I think this song describes a lot of self-destructive behaviors (of which heroin is only one), because all of the people described died in different ways, none of which explicitly involved heroin.<br /> <br /> I think, rather than simply representing drug use, "drinking from a fountain" represents risk-taking and pleasure-seeking that's pretty much certain to lead to an early grave.
@Ribbity Very nice interpretation! why not drugs ...why not the sweet sugary taste and smell? yeah that can be ...and a lot more can be true as well! just get the kick out of it Panther99 dude!
@Ribbity <br /> <br /> Junkies? How many have you met?<br />
@Ribbity I thought this comment was gonna be one of those people that thinks that every song is about heroine but you actually know your stuff. I think that your comment was probably the best one on this song. I am completely convinced now, thanks for the knowledge about heroine.
@Ribbity I think they are talking about opiates like in pill form (percocet, oxycodon, etc) because heroin actually smells more like vinegar, whereas the opiates smell sweet & reportedly smell like marshmallows
@Ribbity If you have had heroin that smells like cinnamon it was not heroin. Im a current addict and it has never smelt sweet
