Brony Polka
AnimatedJames Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴When you're rife with devastation
There's a simple explanation:
You're a toy-maker's creation
Trapped inside a crystal ball

And whichever way he tilts it
Know that we must be resilient
We won't let them break our spirits

As we sing our silly song

Isn't it great to be different?
Isn't it wonderful to be exactly who you are?
Once you learn to start accepting yourself
You'll become a shining star

Carrot Top, go beyond us
You're a late star, time to fool us
Keep your friends close, they're what drive you
To the cosmos that describe you

Carrot Top, go beyond us
You're a late star, time to fool us
Keep your friends close, they're what drive you
To the cosmos that describe you...

(...May!) call it a crash, I call it a fly in
Here to perform on this desert-ed island
Jealous, 'cause I leave a pony smiling?
You need to chill, 'cause you knowing who I am

Out here, no cell phone service
With a blank stare, it don't serve its purpose
Not worthless, look under the surface
Clear blue sea and these ponies are shirtless
(Clear blue sea and these ponies are shirtless)

I'm Trixie welcome to the show
Got magic tricks so here we go
We're gonna have some fun
Hold on to your hats

We don't care who you are anymore
Just pack your things go out the door
You claim that you're performing
Don't make us laugh

I have something more
We've seen it before
It's much more special
We'd rather be in hell

It might be the same act
Be patient you'll see
You can call it fake
But this is real magic

It's real magic, it's real magic (Yeah yeah)
It's real magic, M-A-G-I-C!

Fate has been cruel and order unkind
How could I have sent you away?
The blame was my own; the punishment: yours
The harmony's silent today (-ay) (-ay) (-ay)

But into the stillness I'll bring you a song
And I will your company keep
Till your tired eyes and my lullabies
Have carried you softly to sleep
(Sleep)
(Sleep)
(Sleep)

Hey Cheerilee, hey Cheerilee
I'm afraid to raise my hand
I have something to ask you
'Cause I want to understand

It's not about homework
It's about 1 + 1 is 2
Hey Cheerilee, hey Cheerilee
I think I'm in love with you

Yeah I own this beat
You can call me the king or the ruler
Felon on bass, getting hoarse at the mic
We're getting 20 percent cooler

We had a great day out
Calling my name like Ferris Bueller
Time to wrap this up
We're getting 20 percent cooler (Hey!)
We're getting 20 percent cooler
We're getting 20 percent cooler now!

Human beings fascinate me, being just the way they are
Tell me, little pony, can you push a cart or drive a car?
Lyre is my instrument, but humans strum their sweet guitar
It's a mystery, anthropology!

Discord, I'm howling at the moon
And sleeping in the middle of a summer afternoon
Discord, whatever did we do
To make you take our world away?

Discord, are we your prey alone
Or are we just a stepping stone for taking back the throne?
Discord, we won't take it anymore
So take your tyranny away!

Why can't I mention Fluttershy and her timid, loving mind
How she can be herself near animals, but shies away from her own kind?
Why can't I mention Pinkie Pie and the way she kind of
Acts a bit like me sometimes?

You see I use to hate that I liked My Little Pony
Not any more, I'm proud to be a brony!

When you're flying up there (up there)
In the sky (the sky), rising high (-sing high)
Every hue, it's like a dream (a dream)
Out of this world (this world), into a new (a new)
When you're soaring up there in the sky (the sky),
Spread your wings (your wings), and you will see (you'll see)
The cirrus swirl shimmering down below
And you'll recognize the glow
From the Double-

-Rainbow's tale isn't quite as nice
As the story we knew of sugar and spice
But a rainbow's easy once you get to know it
With the help of the magic of a pegasus device

(Yeah! What do you know about Nightmare Night, son?!)

Welcome Fillies and Gentlecolts, there's no reason to scream
Your favorite princess is back, she's walking up on the scene
She has been stuck on the moon, but that's no reason to fret
She's not a nightmare no more, so buckle down and get set

She's coming, gracing her subjects, she ain't leaving no choice
She's gonna blow you all back with her Equestrian voice
So cover all of your fears and stow away all your fright
The lunar princess is back to bring the nightmares tonight

So put down that cello and go grab the bass
'Cause we're swingin' here tonight, this ain't no fancy music place
You just gotta let it go, from everything that tells you no
Even if this is not your type of show, your type of show

Hello I'm Sweetie Belle and I want to play
Hello I'm Rarity and I have to work all day
So can I work with you and help you a lot?
So sorry I'm busy so please keep your mouth shut

Do you still hate me (I don't)
Can you play with me (I can't)
Can we do something right now?
I can't (I can't) we can't (we can't)
No Sweetie! What have you done!
I just wanted to have fun!
I don't want to be your sister just get out of my life!
Get out of my life, hey!

You've hair soft as feathery down
Wide eyes to look into
Such trust and vigor for life!
I am your pony waifu!

That makes my poor heart burst with glee!
Please promise that it's true!
That you would deign to choose me!
I am your pony waifu!

I gave you my heart and then you turned around
The secrets that we shared, the moments that you cared
I gave you my heart and then you turned around
We went streaking in the park, skinny dipping after dark

I gave you my heart and then you turned around
Depressing melodies, suppressing fantasies
I gave you my heart and then you turned around
(Twilight please make this song end, we're a bunch of floating heads!)

Since we're not related, it'll be okay!
It'll be okay!

Just kidding I'm not done

'Cause I'm a picture perfect pony
A picture perfect pony pony pony pony
Picture perfect pony
Picture perfect pony pony pony pony

Give me a smidge of confidence
Give me a speck of something that makes sense
Give me an idea of dependency
Give me a dash of loyalty
Loyalty

So together we are all lost on the moon
We all share our home on the moon, we
Forever we are lost on the moon, together
We pay your crime on the moon

Together we are lost on the moon
We all share a home on the moon
Forever we are lost on the moon
(Moon)
(Moon)
(Moon)

I comb the crowd
But I can't see your face out there, no
I'm playing now, won't wait on love

I'm paralyzed
From all these whispers in my brain, yeah
I'm focused now, I won't give up

You hurt me now, but I won't cry
I am Octavia
You hurt me now, but I won't cry
I am Octavia

Sorry Neon, I just can't concentrate, I just... I just gotta go!

Aside from Anthropology, this is my favorite one

I'll cook up a solution with the knowledge I've accrued
They say a kitch-en time saves nine, but I'm just saving two!
I've gathered the ingredients to make some time sorbet
There's hardly room for seconds when the seconds melt away!
(Seconds melt away!)
(Seconds melt away!)
(Seconds melt away!)

Watch as I work my gypsy magic
Eye of the newt and cinnamon
Watch as the matter turns to batter
Open the portal, jump in!

Buy some apples, buy some apples

Open the portal and jump in
Open the portal
Open the portal
Open the portal
Open the portal jump
Open the portal jump
Open the portal jump in!
Yeah!

Don't Mine at Night!

Line by Line Meaning

When you're rife with devastation
When you're overwhelmed with destruction and distress

There's a simple explanation: You're a toy-maker's creation
There's a straightforward reason: You were created by a toy-maker

Trapped inside a crystal ball
Confined within a crystal sphere

And whichever way he tilts it
And no matter which direction he tilts it

Know that we must be resilient
Understand that we must be strong and adaptable

We won't let them break our spirits
We won't allow them to crush our determination or enthusiasm

As we sing our silly song
As we sing our lighthearted and whimsical tune

Isn't it great to be different?
Isn't it wonderful to be unique and distinct?

Isn't it wonderful to be exactly who you are?
Isn't it marvelous to embrace your true self?

Once you learn to start accepting yourself
Once you learn to begin embracing and approving of yourself

You'll become a shining star
You'll become a radiant and exceptional individual

Carrot Top, go beyond us
Carrot Top, surpass our expectations or abilities

You're a late star, time to fool us
You're an unexpected star, it's time to surprise or deceive us

Keep your friends close, they're what drive you
Maintain a strong bond with your friends, as they are your motivation

To the cosmos that describe you
To the vastness of the universe that defines or characterizes you

(...May!) call it a crash, I call it a fly in
(...You) may call it a failure, I call it a brief setback

Here to perform on this desert-ed island
Here to entertain on this deserted island

Jealous, 'cause I leave a pony smiling?
Envious because I bring joy and happiness to ponies?

You need to chill, 'cause you knowing who I am
You need to relax, because you know my true identity

Out here, no cell phone service
Out here, there is no cell phone coverage

With a blank stare, it don't serve its purpose
With an empty expression, it fails to fulfill its function

Not worthless, look under the surface
Not without value, examine what lies beneath the exterior

Clear blue sea and these ponies are shirtless
Crystal clear ocean and these ponies are without clothes

I'm Trixie welcome to the show
I'm Trixie, welcome to the performance

Got magic tricks so here we go
Have magic tricks, so let's get started

We're gonna have some fun
We're going to enjoy ourselves immensely

Hold on to your hats
Prepare for an exciting and thrilling experience

We don't care who you are anymore
We no longer care about your identity

Just pack your things go out the door
Simply gather your belongings and leave

You claim that you're performing
You assert that you are putting on a show

Don't make us laugh
Don't try to make us find it funny

I have something more
I possess something greater

We've seen it before
We have witnessed it previously

It's much more special
It's significantly more unique and extraordinary

We'd rather be in hell
We would prefer to be in an unpleasant or unfavorable situation

It might be the same act
It could be the identical performance or routine

Be patient you'll see
Be patient and you will understand

You can call it fake
You can label it as false or counterfeit

But this is real magic
But this is true sorcery or enchantment

It's real magic, it's real magic (Yeah yeah)
It's authentic magic, it's genuine magic

It's real magic, M-A-G-I-C!
It's authentic magic, M-A-G-I-C!

Fate has been cruel and order unkind
Destiny has been harsh and the structure has been unfair

How could I have sent you away?
How could I have banished you?

The blame was my own; the punishment: yours
The fault was mine; the consequence: yours

The harmony's silent today (-ay) (-ay) (-ay)
The harmony is quiet or absent today

But into the stillness I'll bring you a song
But in the calmness, I will offer you a song

And I will your company keep
And I will stay by your side

Till your tired eyes and my lullabies
Until your weary eyes and my soothing songs

Have carried you softly to sleep
Have gently transported you to sleep

Hey Cheerilee, hey Cheerilee
Hey Cheerilee, hey Cheerilee

I'm afraid to raise my hand
I'm frightened to raise my hand

I have something to ask you
I have something to inquire about

'Cause I want to understand
Because I want to comprehend or grasp

It's not about homework
It's not in relation to schoolwork

It's about 1 + 1 is 2
It's in regards to basic arithmetic: 1 plus 1 equals 2

Hey Cheerilee, hey Cheerilee
Hey Cheerilee, hey Cheerilee

I think I'm in love with you
I believe I have fallen in love with you

Yeah I own this beat
Yeah, I dominate this rhythm or musical accompaniment

You can call me the king or the ruler
You can refer to me as the monarch or the leader

Felon on bass, getting hoarse at the mic
Criminal on bass, straining my voice at the microphone

We're getting 20 percent cooler
We're becoming 20 percent more impressive or outstanding

We had a great day out
We had a fantastic day outside

Calling my name like Ferris Bueller
Calling my name enthusiastically like Ferris Bueller

Time to wrap this up
Time to conclude or finish this

We're getting 20 percent cooler
We're becoming 20 percent more impressive or outstanding

We're getting 20 percent cooler now!
We're becoming 20 percent more impressive or outstanding now!

Human beings fascinate me, being just the way they are
Human beings captivate me, simply existing as they are

Tell me, little pony, can you push a cart or drive a car?
Inform me, small pony, can you move a cart or operate a car?

Lyre is my instrument, but humans strum their sweet guitar
Lyre is my musical instrument, but humans play their melodic guitar

It's a mystery, anthropology!
It's an enigma, the study of humanity!

Discord, I'm howling at the moon
Discord, I'm loudly and expressively voicing my dissatisfaction

And sleeping in the middle of a summer afternoon
And snoozing in the middle of a summer afternoon

Discord, whatever did we do
Discord, what exactly did we do

To make you take our world away?
To cause you to seize or snatch away our world?

Discord, are we your prey alone
Discord, are we your only target or victims

Or are we just a stepping stone for taking back the throne?
Or are we just a means to an end for reclaiming the throne?

Discord, we won't take it anymore
Discord, we refuse to tolerate it any longer

So take your tyranny away!
So remove your oppressive rule or control!

Why can't I mention Fluttershy and her timid, loving mind
Why am I forbidden from mentioning Fluttershy and her shy, affectionate nature

How she can be herself near animals but shies away from her own kind?
How she can freely express herself around animals but withdraws from her own species?

Why can't I mention Pinkie Pie and the way she kind of
Why am I prohibited from discussing Pinkie Pie and the way she somewhat

Acts a bit like me sometimes?
Behaves similarly to me on occasion?

You see I use to hate that I liked My Little Pony
You see, I used to despise the fact that I enjoyed My Little Pony

Not any more, I'm proud to be a brony!
No longer, I am proud to be a brony!
