This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I had a small friend,
Who had a fat friend
Who had a big friend
Who gave birth to many friends
With our flashlights to the sky
We waited for them to land.
I got two tall friends
Who know my small friend
Who seem to have a problem with you
They got roman candles
Bottle rockets for the vandals
Who covered our lockers in glue.
(Bridge)
We're on our way here we go
We're gonna take over
Set it off one last time
Here we come again.
We were strangers
And we were pilgrims
Role models of the family man
Pioneers and patriarchs
Patriots and matriarchs
Staking out the promised land
Our little army
We were commandos
Gorillas with decoder rings
We felt some opposition
From some villains
Who were wishin'
They could be cadets and kings.
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
All systems go!
Soon the world will know
The fury of attack
Feel the wrath of
The super rad
The super rad
Super rad!
And if we die
before the battle's through
tell our mom's, tell our dads
That we were super rad!
(Bridge)
(chorus x2)
All systems go
As we step into the Octagon
Feel the wrath of mission code name:
applesauce applesauce applesauce
Super Rad!
Who had a fat friend
Who had a big friend
Who gave birth to many friends
With our flashlights to the sky
We waited for them to land.
I got two tall friends
Who know my small friend
Who seem to have a problem with you
They got roman candles
Bottle rockets for the vandals
Who covered our lockers in glue.
(Bridge)
We're on our way here we go
We're gonna take over
Set it off one last time
Here we come again.
We were strangers
And we were pilgrims
Role models of the family man
Pioneers and patriarchs
Patriots and matriarchs
Staking out the promised land
Our little army
We were commandos
Gorillas with decoder rings
We felt some opposition
From some villains
Who were wishin'
They could be cadets and kings.
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
All systems go!
Soon the world will know
The fury of attack
Feel the wrath of
The super rad
The super rad
Super rad!
And if we die
before the battle's through
tell our mom's, tell our dads
That we were super rad!
(Bridge)
(chorus x2)
All systems go
As we step into the Octagon
Feel the wrath of mission code name:
applesauce applesauce applesauce
Super Rad!

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."
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Does this song remind anyone else of their younger days with friends? God, it does to me. Heh.
You guys are all so shallow. Don't you see the deeper meaning here!
this song is funny!
some (en.allexperts.com/e/m/mo/mormon_music.htm) say that "and if we die before the battle's through" is a reference to the mormon hymn "come come ye saints" in which starts off "and should we die before the journey's through..."
The way it was explained to me, and I do agree with this, the song is poking fun at Mormons. To my understanding, the original members of the band were all raised Mormon but were excommunicated or fell away or something like that. So lines like, "Gave birth to many friends" mormons are known to have BIG families with lots of kids. "Who seem to have a problem with you...Who covered our lockers in glue." I think that is eluding to how they were unwelcome in Missouri and tarred and feathered and driven out of the state. "We were strangers, And we were pilgrims" refers to their migration to utah. Basically a HUGE group of people wandering off towards the west. "Role models of the family man, Pioneers and patriarchs, Patriots and matriarchs" all refer to tantamounts of the religious preachings. Family is at the core, pioneers [see above] patriarch, family, patriots, they strongly believe in supporting the gov't and leaders and the laws of the land. "Staking out the promised land" another reference to utah and/or wyoming aka zion, the promised land. Decoder rings is a stab at the "CTR" rings they were. Guerrillas could refer to how the missionaries show up at your door step and preach.
Anyway, I'm dragging on. Ya'll get the point
I believe they still were mormons and still are to this day. Travis Barker (the drummer for Blink-182 and the first album of the Aquabats, Fury of the Aquabats) stated that they were a bit too religious for his liking.
@camS142 This is wrong, Chad, Christian, and Ian are all still LDS, as were many past members. The song is about the 2000 Stripling Warriors from the Book of Mormon.
From what I can gather, this song refers heavily upon the story of the Stripling Warriors from the Book of Alma in The Book Of Mormon. And there is a line from “Come, Come Ye Saints” The basic story is that there were two groups, the Nephites and Lamanites. The Nephites were free but there were people who wanted to instate a king. It caused a lot of issues and the Lamanites fought the Nephites, but a group of Lamanites swore to never fight and came on the side of the Nephites. It came to a point they wanted to defend the Nephites freedom, but swore not to fight, so their sons fought valiantly for them. These were the 2000 stripling warriors. Alma 56:19 “And thus were we favored of the Lord; for had they come upon us in this our weakness they might have perhaps destroyed our little army; but thus were we preserved.” Alma 56:47 “Now they never had fought, yet they did not fear death; and they did think more upon the liberty of their fathers than they did upon their lives; yea, they had been taught by their mothers, that if they did not doubt, God would deliver them.” Alma 51:8 “Now those who were in favor of kings were those of high birth, and they sought to be kings; and they were supported by those who sought power and authority over the people.”
Step off, homies!
