This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I found fountains of imagery
That are passing through me like a knife
From a group of friends that prefer
To attack from the back
I'm trying to grasp concepts of your dimensions
While my universe is laced around your wrist
I am the bracelet you sport
I am everything that you have ever missed,
And more
I was hoping I could tell you this
With two feet on the ground
But I don't think I can talk,
Because I'm not very stable right now
In this dream that I had...
"You can't kill heroes"
That's what we said to them
"You can't kill us"
With our instruments broken before us
And the boys in the line
They begin to count to five
And the trigger pulls
The bullets pepper the brick wall behind our heads
And the smoke, it fills the air
The captain yells to cease fire
And the squad begins to wait and stare
As the dust clears the air,
And we're still standing
With smiles on both our faces
We spit their faulty ammo to the ground
And remind them once again
With smiles on both our faces
We spit their faulty ammo to the ground
And remind them once again
That you can't kill heroes
I was hoping I could tell you this
With two feet on the ground
But I don't think I can talk,
Because I'm not very stable right now
No, I'm not very stable right now
No, I'm not very stable right now
That are passing through me like a knife
From a group of friends that prefer
To attack from the back
I'm trying to grasp concepts of your dimensions
While my universe is laced around your wrist
I am the bracelet you sport
I am everything that you have ever missed,
And more
I was hoping I could tell you this
With two feet on the ground
But I don't think I can talk,
Because I'm not very stable right now
In this dream that I had...
"You can't kill heroes"
That's what we said to them
"You can't kill us"
With our instruments broken before us
And the boys in the line
They begin to count to five
And the trigger pulls
The bullets pepper the brick wall behind our heads
And the smoke, it fills the air
The captain yells to cease fire
And the squad begins to wait and stare
As the dust clears the air,
And we're still standing
With smiles on both our faces
We spit their faulty ammo to the ground
And remind them once again
With smiles on both our faces
We spit their faulty ammo to the ground
And remind them once again
That you can't kill heroes
I was hoping I could tell you this
With two feet on the ground
But I don't think I can talk,
Because I'm not very stable right now
No, I'm not very stable right now
No, I'm not very stable right now

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
To me, and I could be totally wrong..but to me it seems like this guy is in love with this girl. And the shooting and killing heroes and all that deals with him being rejected by her, or her rejected by him because he's scared to face up and deal with what could quite possibly happen. He's hoping to tell her that he loves her but he's scared.
