This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Hello, good morning, how you do?
What makes your rising sun so new?
I could use a fresh beginning too
All of my regrets are nothing new
So this is the way that I say I need you
This is the way, this is the way that
I'm Learning to breathe
I'm learning to crawl
I'm finding that you and you alone can break my fall
I'm living again, awake and alive
I'm dying to breathe in these abundant skies
Hello, good morning, how you been?
Yesterday left my head kicked in
I never, never thought that
I would fall like that
Never knew that I could hurt this bad
I'm learning to breathe
I'm learning to crawl
I'm finding that you and you alone can break my fall
I'm living again, awake and alive
I'm dying to breathe in these abundant skies, these abundant skies [
So this is the way that I say I need you
This is the way that I say I love you
This is the way that I say I'm yours
This is the way, this is the way that
I'm learning to breathe
I'm learning to crawl
I'm finding that you and you alone can break my fall
I'm living again, awake and alive
I'm dying to breathe in these abundant skies
I'm dying to breathe in these abundant skies
What makes your rising sun so new?
I could use a fresh beginning too
All of my regrets are nothing new
So this is the way that I say I need you
This is the way, this is the way that
I'm Learning to breathe
I'm learning to crawl
I'm finding that you and you alone can break my fall
I'm living again, awake and alive
I'm dying to breathe in these abundant skies
Hello, good morning, how you been?
Yesterday left my head kicked in
I never, never thought that
I would fall like that
Never knew that I could hurt this bad
I'm learning to breathe
I'm learning to crawl
I'm finding that you and you alone can break my fall
I'm living again, awake and alive
I'm dying to breathe in these abundant skies, these abundant skies [
So this is the way that I say I need you
This is the way that I say I love you
This is the way that I say I'm yours
This is the way, this is the way that
I'm learning to breathe
I'm learning to crawl
I'm finding that you and you alone can break my fall
I'm living again, awake and alive
I'm dying to breathe in these abundant skies
I'm dying to breathe in these abundant skies

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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 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.

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.
This song is about a new Christian realizing he wrongs and his need to start over. "I'm learning that you and you alone can break my fall" refers to God. "This is the way that I say I'm yours" refers to submitting to the will of God. This is an awesome song about submitting yourself daily to the will of the Lord.
This song is the sweetest thing!I love it so very much!The first time I heard it was on my beautiful A walk to Remember.It is such a wonderful loving relationship song.And also I think a great christian walk song too.Everything Switchfoot does is great.
Sappy Teenager Meaning of The Song...Just my own way of Looking at it..On a different level of thinking
These Lyrics Explain the way I feel about Myself and the person in my Life and The Way I feel...so This is what I take from the Song...It's about a Guy who Kinda has an Pessimistic Outlook, Almost a Depressive person..And There is a girl in his Life..This Girl on The otherhand finds Beauty in everything, Never Regrets a single moment..cause he asks "Hello, Good Morning, How do you do? What Makes your Rising Sun so New?" And he's starting to Realize How Great she is and How much she is showing him, as in The Appreciation of Life. "Learning to breathe I'm learning to crawl I'm finding that you and you alone can break my fall I'm living again, awake and alive"
This song could be about one of two things, falling in love or coming to know God. This person is humbling themselves and giving all of themselves to the other person or God whatever the case may be. They had lived their lives being independent and never realizing that they needed anyone but when they find that person they see a whole new world. They never really felt alive until they reached this point in their lives and now they are realizing everything that they had been missing.
exactly.
Switchfoot Quotes on "Learning to Breathe" "It's about motion - moving from one place to another. Mainly the fact that we are one thing now, but God is calling us to be, you know He is changing us, He is transforming us into something new. He is changing us from a fallen world to a redeemed world that God is bringing about on this planet. And just kind of the motion that happens there. And just the call that each of us as a Christian has for that to what God is doing all around us. "
This song is so great to me. I think that the song is about someone who has been put down and kicked around by someone that they really thought cared about them and they are finally realizing that they need someone else to help them, to keep them from drowning. This person is teaching themself to do everything over again i.e."I'm learning to breathe". They're still getting over the shock of how hurt they could really be, but they're ready to love again, something that they have't been able to do in a long time.
Jesterguy took the words right out of my mouth. The song is about a new Christian, who has regrets from past sins and a living a worldly life. This person has realized that we can be made new and have salvation through the sacrifice of Jesus.
hey, i just now heard about switchfoot, from when the were on the soundtrack for a walk to remember. and i was just wondering, are they a christian band?
This song, what I think, is about this person who gets in so many disagreements and fights with another person. And they're trying to say that they don't do it out to purposelly hurt the other person, but rather, it's like they're saying, "Hey, I need you to be there for me." Because they're "learning to breathe..." and everything.
this song rocks! yeah...they are a christian band...and they are awesome. this song means to me that he is learning that God is the most important one in everything, and that one should learn to live for God alone
