This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
He left a card, a bar of soap and a scrubbing brush next to a note
That said "use these down to your bones"
And before I knew I had shiny skin and it felt easy being clean like him
I thought "this one knows better than I do"
A triangle trying to squeeze through a circle
He tried to cut me so I'd fit
And doesn't that sound familiar? Doesn't that hit too close to home?
Doesn't that make you shiver; the way things could've gone?
And doesn't it feel peculiar when everyone wants a little more?
And so that I do remember to never go that far,
Could you leave me with a scar?
So the next one came with a bag of treats, she smelled like sugar and
spoke like the sea
And she told me don't trust them, trust me
Then she pulled at my stitches one by one, looked at my insides clicking
her tongue and said
"This will all have to come undone"
A triangle trying to squeeze through a circle
She tried to cut me so I'd fit
And doesn't that sound familiar? Doesn't that hit too close to home?
Doesn't that make you shiver; the way things could have gone?
And doesn't it feel peculiar when everyone wants a little more?
And so that I do remember to never go that far,
Could you leave me with a scar?
And I realized just in time, although my old self was hard to find
You can bathe me in your finest wine but I'll never give you mine
'cause I'm a little bit tired of fearing that I'll be the bad fruit nobody buys
Tell me, did you think we'd all dream the same?
And doesn't that sound familiar? Doesn't that hit too close to home?
Doesn't that make you shiver; the way things could have gone?
And doesn't it feel peculiar when everyone wants a little more?
And so that I do remember to never go that far,
Could you leave me with a scar?
Could you leave me with a scar?

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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,

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.
Yes, maybe there is some reference to sexuality in it, but i believe it is more about her reactions to relationships, trying to fit into the mould of what her partner wants her to be, while forgetting who she really is. In the first stanza she speaks of a relationship with a man. The card suggests a goodbye note, and cleaning with the scrubbing brush implies thathe wants her to clean herself of him i.e. have nothing more to do with him and get over it, which she seems to take as good advice by the line "this one knows better than I do" "a triangle trying to squeeze through a circle" i see as meaning that theyre two separate people and don't fit together, and the triangle, presumably her, is trying to fit, and the only way to do that is change, or "cut" away at who she really is. "could you leave me with a scar" implies an emotional scar so she wont forget the mistakes shes made in that relationship. This next verse speaks of a woman. reference to sugar and sweets gives me the impression that she is enticing, but could be bad for her. I think of the sea as a powerful, soothing sounding thing, so speaking like it i belive would be a comforting, confident voice. "she told be don't trust them trust me"- i would see "them" as being men. "..Pulled at my stitches one by one" i think suggests an emotional wound which was still trying to heal opened up revealing her vulnerabilities, impliled by when she "looked at her insides" Again it mentions the triangle trying to fit into the circle and the female also trying to make her fit into what they want of her in the relationship "i think i realised just in time" suggests that she figured out how she was changing herself for the relationships before it had gone too far, like marriage. " You can bathe me in your finest wine, but ill never give you mine"- shes now become more aware and has decided that just because she is being spoiled, it doesnt mean she will consent to give all of her old self away to fit into the relationship. It could also be seen as keeping assets separate. "tell me did you think we'd all dream the same" is a rhetorical question trying to point out that everyone has different ideals, interests and dreams.
A little complicated , yes but it works out. Basically the song follows through her learning experience of different relationships, both trying to change her, or her changing herself, but getting dumped anyway- making it pointless.
