This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Drag this neurotic to hysterics
Leave him balked and unfulfilled
Holding inside outwardly patient
'Till the time he'll call it
Alluring exotic twisted hero
Leaving him more lonely still
He waits around, he's spun around and left without the power to stop it
Peers don't know what they can't see
They can't see inside of me
It's sickening how comforting the privacy of the mind can be
How much longer will I try before I realize I'm desperate in the situation
that I'm in again
I'm exhausting yet another topic
I've exhausted frequently with no regrets
Abstruse and lacking rational but making so much sense somehow
A stone has blocked my hourglass, no progress made, no time's run out
I'd almost rather have the latter
Save myself with sad defeat
A stone just broke my hourglass
I peel the skin that had me trapped
Leave him balked and unfulfilled
Holding inside outwardly patient
'Till the time he'll call it
Alluring exotic twisted hero
Leaving him more lonely still
He waits around, he's spun around and left without the power to stop it
Peers don't know what they can't see
They can't see inside of me
It's sickening how comforting the privacy of the mind can be
How much longer will I try before I realize I'm desperate in the situation
that I'm in again
I'm exhausting yet another topic
I've exhausted frequently with no regrets
Abstruse and lacking rational but making so much sense somehow
A stone has blocked my hourglass, no progress made, no time's run out
I'd almost rather have the latter
Save myself with sad defeat
A stone just broke my hourglass
I peel the skin that had me trapped

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”

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.

“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.
Since no one else has anything to say about this song, I'll try to figure it out. First of all, this is a really good song to be track 1. It's makes me want to bob my head.
The pre-chorus (Peers don't know...can be) makes me think that this guy feels like shit on he inside, but hides his feelings from the outside world because he's afraid of breakngt the status quo. The lyric "A stone has blocked my houglass/No progress made, no time's run out" makes it sound like he's in a rut. Nothing bad is happening in his life, but nothing good is happening either. I think he wants to hold on to this security of knowing that nothing's going to change, so he plays it safe by hiding his true feelings from everyone else.
