Pony
Flying Blind Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You ride upon your pony
Going up and down my street all day
Going down my street all day
All the time
We see one another
Never conversing
Going down my street all day
One day we'll ride into each other
Go into each other
Fall into each other
I just don't understand
Who dealt me my hand
I feel like the trees they are laughing
If they're so smart
Why don't they run away
Why don't they run away
Here you come again
You must be thirsty
Mid desert in the center of the day
Mid (in?) center of the day
One day we'll ride into each other
Go into each other
Fall into each other
I just don't understand
Who dealt me my hand
One day we'll go back in
To put another
But you never will discover
How I feel
About you
You won't ever
Yeah, yeah, yeah
One day we'll ride into each other
Go into each other
Fall into each other
I just don't understand
Who dealt me my hand
One day we'll ride into each other
Go into each other
Fall into each other
I just don't understand
Who dealt me my hand

Line by Line Meaning
Look so cool,
You have an air of confidence and poise as you ride on your pony
You ride upon your pony
You traverse along my street atop your majestic creature
Going up and down my street all day
You pass through my street multiple times throughout the day
Going down my street all day
Repeatedly you pass by my abode without stopping
All the time
Frequently and constantly
We see one another
We cross paths with one another
Never conversing
We have never exchanged words or engaged in dialogue
What do we have to say
We have nothing to converse about
One day we'll ride into each other
Someday our paths will cross with great force
Go into each other
We will collide into one another
Fall into each other
We will come together in a sudden and jarring manner
I just don't understand
I can't comprehend why fate has brought us to this moment
Who dealt me my hand
Why is this my fate, determined by forces beyond my control?
I feel like the trees they are laughing
I sense that the environment around me is mocking my predicament
If they're so smart
If the world is full of so much wisdom and insight...
Why don't they run away
...why don't they flee from the absurdity of my situation?
Here you come again
You return to my street once more
You must be thirsty
Perhaps you are in search of water or refreshment
Mid desert in the center of the day
You ride through this arid landscape at the hottest time of day
Mid (in?) center of the day
In the midst of the day's peak hours
One day we'll go back in
At some future point we will revisit this moment
To put another
?
But you never will discover
You will never learn of my true feelings
How I feel
My emotions towards you
About you
Regarding your presence and influence
You won't ever
It is unlikely that you will ever know
Yeah, yeah, yeah
An exclamation of emotion or enthusiasm
