This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Let me introduce you to our dumb little band you might find it hard to understand-- we've got a show even though we know no one's gonna go we'll crank our second-hand Marshall Stacks' dumb little knobs we're paying for them with our dumb little jobs the guy at the bar says he thinks we're okay we kind of remind him of Green Day but it's a dumb little band and there's not much to say maybe we'll see you when we play in some big empty room one day we do a record every year that nobody's gonna hear or understand -- a dumb little band. Every year we self destruct a bit we break up when the drummer quits we talk him into doing one more show and them the bass-player quits and we break up again we don't know how to be regular guys or what to do with our dumb little lives we don't have anything to prove we'll be in trouble if we ever do cause it's a dumb little band but we travel through the land we unpack all our stuff from our dumb little van we play some songs and then we pack it up again hand in hand -- a dumb little band not exactly in demand. Our friends are all busy with their own affairs becoming punk rock millionaires they're taping their live album at the Hollywood Bowl we're taping our flyers to the telephone pole it's a dumb little band and nobody knows why we keep having shows even though nobody goes we keep rolling along playing our dumb little songs hand in hand -- a dumb little band...

Hayalperest
Hayalperest
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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.
Amazing

Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
