This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Why do we cry
When there's no more goodbyes
Don't want to get left behind
Don't want to be the voice inside
Suicide to think of you
But I still like the pain
The consequence of losing to you
But I still play the games
But I can see what you do to me standing over tall
And foolishly I act small
I can't explain how you've got me
Can't explain how you've trapped me
So I take what I can get whatever you give me will be the company
I keep when I run run run run from defeat
Oh oh, I wonder
Why do we cry
When there's no more goodbyes
Don't want to get left behind
Don't want to be the voice inside
I've sacrificed my own life
Just to see you satisfied
I gave it all up for one more lie
‘Til I saw your other side
I can't believe what you do to me all alone in the crowd
And you can't go back now
Oh I can see this is done
You're irresistibly wrong
So I take what I can get whatever you give me will be the company
I keep when I run run run run from defeat
Oh oh, I wonder, oh oh I wonder
Why do we cry
When there's no more goodbyes
Don't want to get left behind
Don't want to be the voice inside
Why do we cry
When there's no more goodbyes
Don't want to get left behind
Don't want to be the voice inside
Gotta go away…? (repeat lots)
Why do we cry
When there's no more goodbyes
Don't want to get left behind
Don't want to be the voice inside
Why do we cry
When there's no more goodbyes
Don't want to get left behind
Don't want to be the voice inside
When there's no more goodbyes
Don't want to get left behind
Don't want to be the voice inside
Suicide to think of you
But I still like the pain
The consequence of losing to you
But I still play the games
But I can see what you do to me standing over tall
And foolishly I act small
I can't explain how you've got me
Can't explain how you've trapped me
So I take what I can get whatever you give me will be the company
I keep when I run run run run from defeat
Oh oh, I wonder
Why do we cry
When there's no more goodbyes
Don't want to get left behind
Don't want to be the voice inside
I've sacrificed my own life
Just to see you satisfied
I gave it all up for one more lie
‘Til I saw your other side
I can't believe what you do to me all alone in the crowd
And you can't go back now
Oh I can see this is done
You're irresistibly wrong
So I take what I can get whatever you give me will be the company
I keep when I run run run run from defeat
Oh oh, I wonder, oh oh I wonder
Why do we cry
When there's no more goodbyes
Don't want to get left behind
Don't want to be the voice inside
Why do we cry
When there's no more goodbyes
Don't want to get left behind
Don't want to be the voice inside
Gotta go away…? (repeat lots)
Why do we cry
When there's no more goodbyes
Don't want to get left behind
Don't want to be the voice inside
Why do we cry
When there's no more goodbyes
Don't want to get left behind
Don't want to be the voice inside

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.

Punchline

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
