This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
She's saying we wear the party all over our bodies and faces
What allows me to speak in wild abstractions
The senseless killings gifts God gives us have no one to love them
It's the kind of thought that kills you twice on the way down
You might forget them but you're not nice they don't forget about you
How they claw me in my false or foster reflection
Is that my reflection in the Damascus play?
How they claw me in my foster or false reflection
You should call me sometime.
I won't answer but, at least I'll know you care.
(How will you know it was me?)
You think I got caller ID?
I guess I should be happy for you, for your success and all that
But your fame ain't got nothing for us
I supported you kid, back when no one else did (oh yeah, oh yeah)
You know I waved your flag, back when no one else did
I just want things to be the way they used to be,
When you only set a place for me
The great chorus of my skull is choking on their dulcer tones
Ten lashes on the ass of anyone who even tries and
Heaven's patience glaring down at us filling your room with black butterflies
You don't have to try to steal no nothing from my heart
Because for you anything you want is always free
Send your freaky fantasies to my phone
Black Converse on and an ice cream cone
Now that I'm not a virgin to you you'll never walk alone
Far beyond the several years of shame
I live to make you call my name
(Call my name)
Guess I should be happy for you, for your success and all that
But your fame ain't got nothing for us
I was your booster babe, back when no one else cared (oh yeah, oh yeah)
You know I celebrated you (I'm hard for you girl),
Back when no one else even thought to
I just want things to be the way they used to be
When you only saved a seat for me
Come back! Come back!
I feel so at peace
Why is the sky karma
I think I'm the one I got from
What allows me to speak in wild abstractions
The senseless killings gifts God gives us have no one to love them
It's the kind of thought that kills you twice on the way down
You might forget them but you're not nice they don't forget about you
How they claw me in my false or foster reflection
Is that my reflection in the Damascus play?
How they claw me in my foster or false reflection

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.

oh I love the caller ID dialog
he's like: duh!
i feel like this is the catchiest song off the new album
not quite sure what the title means though it may relate to the herb triphala which is in india is said act to the organs as a mother to her children (of course i got that off of wikipedia)
phallus means penis. so the song title means three penises, to end a sentence! Kevin said that he "had fun" making all of the titles, so it might not be that important. but he is definitely referring to the penis meaning of the word phallus, because he does it in id engager and maybe other songs.
"black condoms on vanilla ice cream cones" Sounds like.
"texting your freaky fantasies to my phone"
Oh, and
"I've been so abused by this black carma I think I know where I got it from"
"Far beyond this self abuse and shame"
'you know i celebrated you' as opposed to 'you know i celebrate'

After a few listens to some live versions of this and that acoustic BBC version where the lyrics sound so much clearer, I'd like to make some corrections.
"...gifts God gives us have no one to LOVE them"
"IT'S the kind of thought..."
It's definitely NOT 'With my eye to the sky, my wicked mustang'. I can't really make out what he says there, I just know that there's an F thrown in there and that the end is "my wicked master". He says master in a really weird way. If you listen to the BBC version, it's clearer in that one.
"The creat CHORUS (cuirass? What the hell?) of my skull is choking on their DULCITONES" A dulcitone is a musical instrument. Another variation could be 'dulcer tones', but I think that's less likely.
I second that 'Far beyond this self abuse and shame'.
And finally I think 'I heart for you girl' is flat out wrong. Hell, the syllable arrangement is not even right. I think it's 'I hollered for you girl'.
Again, listen to other versions, especially that BBC acoustic one to hear the words more clearly.
