This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Staring at the sidewalk, there's a crack in which a flower grows
Reminded me of somebody not hangin' around here anymore
And everything is so pretty
Pretty fucked up, obvious
When you call me from the other side to tell me everything is fine and I will always love even when your eyes are fading
And if they catch you, I will save you, I will get you out
And this, what about this?
Is it anything at all, is it a growing cancer in your heart
And this life I don't have a clue
But when they told you not to worry, didn't it bother you?
Well all that's very nice but this is the song against life
Where do all these people come from,
Where do all these words belong?
A never-ending bible, everything they say is our command
And everybody wants the same, everybody here wants nothing,
Grow up to be a millionaire is all there is
Well all that's very nice but this is the song against life
He goes out in the kitchen, he goes there every second
And your plastic father said:
"It's just too boring standing here all day"
And went out for a lover
Or a new world to discover
And the watertower threw its shadow over your house
And this, what about this? is it anything at all?
Is it a growing cancer in your heart?
And this life I don't have a clue
But when they told you not to worry, didn't it bother you?
Well all that's very nice
But this is the song against life
Reminded me of somebody not hangin' around here anymore
And everything is so pretty
Pretty fucked up, obvious
When you call me from the other side to tell me everything is fine and I will always love even when your eyes are fading
And if they catch you, I will save you, I will get you out
And this, what about this?
Is it anything at all, is it a growing cancer in your heart
And this life I don't have a clue
But when they told you not to worry, didn't it bother you?
Well all that's very nice but this is the song against life
Where do all these people come from,
Where do all these words belong?
A never-ending bible, everything they say is our command
And everybody wants the same, everybody here wants nothing,
Grow up to be a millionaire is all there is
Well all that's very nice but this is the song against life
He goes out in the kitchen, he goes there every second
And your plastic father said:
"It's just too boring standing here all day"
And went out for a lover
Or a new world to discover
And the watertower threw its shadow over your house
And this, what about this? is it anything at all?
Is it a growing cancer in your heart?
And this life I don't have a clue
But when they told you not to worry, didn't it bother you?
Well all that's very nice
But this is the song against life

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,

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
CORRECTION:
the part where it says "grow up to be a millionaire is all the is" there isn't supposed to be an "and this,"
sorry my bad

For all you non-swedes out there listening to David and his gang, 'Plastic Father' is a direct translation of the swedish word 'Plastpappa', which means stepfather. (Plast = Plastic, Pappa = Father)
