This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I am the one who guided you this far,
All you know and all you feel.
Nobody must know my name
For nobody would understand,
And you kill what you fear,
And you fear what you don't understand.
I call you for I must leave,
You're on your own until the end.
There was a choice but now it's gone,
I said you wouldn't understand,
Take what's yours and be damned.
All you know and all you feel.
Nobody must know my name
For nobody would understand,
And you kill what you fear,
And you fear what you don't understand.
I call you for I must leave,
You're on your own until the end.
There was a choice but now it's gone,
I said you wouldn't understand,
Take what's yours and be damned.

Yo La Tengo
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,
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Some of the most powerful lyrics in music! Think about it:
"I am the one who guided you this far, All you know and all you feel. Nobody must know my name For nobody would understand, And you kill what you fear, And you fear what you don't understand."
Spiritual guidance for for the first two lines ... GOD,Allah, Buddha etc. figure it out by now ... who is it? We cannot comprehend. The powerful part is in the last two lines of this stanzas ... the most powerful lyrics in music to me. Not necessarily a break up, but EVERYTHING!
Kill = Hate
Hate for a country Hate for another culture Hate for another person Hate for a subject in school Hate to an ex Etc. etc.
I believe it is about ignorance and misunderstanding (coincidence song title on Duke) We all say we hate things, but what I believe is that we don't necessarily hate those things, but we don't understand them ... therefore we "kill" them with words, actions, writing, whatever.
It then comes back in full circle ...
"I call you for I must leave, You're on your own until the end. There was a choice but now it's gone, I said you wouldn't understand, Take what's yours and be damned."
Your beliefs call you back from all this hatred, or you are so far gone that you can't. YOU MUST ANSWER FOR THEM! YOU MADE YOUR CHOICE! Sometimes we couldn't understand what our true meaning is/was, but we still have to answer for them ... take your hatred ... and you WILL be damned.
Tiny loop compared to "One for the Vine", but a loop without a doubt.
Paraphrasing Genesis, they did not want the Duke Suite to be another "Supper's Ready". They split it up. Take your IPOD and make a playlist with:
Behind the Lines Duchess guide Vocals Turn It On Again Duke's Travels Duke's End
It makes more sense that way: Good vs. Evil
Thanks for the insight. Its funny how their lyrics seem very simple at times, like about a breakup or a chick or whatever, but then there are interpretors like you who add a very deep, often disturbing but ultimately intriguing explanation.
