This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
The streets are lined with gold
The cheese is full of mold
Oh, come into the fold with me
Global domination
While it sparks my imagination
It kills the vegetation
Ain't its not my cup of tea
The stairs are high and winding
My brother is divining
The empire is declining
But the wine is old
Its never sweet enough
And a little too tough
And they play a bit too rough
And they talk a little bit too cold
Say there's another color
Just say it on a bet
You know its true
Though you haven't heard it yet
They're playing it for keeps
Like pieces on a board
You know its true
Though you haven't heard before
Welcome to the decline
Its going just fine
Its good for the wine
And its good for the forces
You can run but you can't hide
And beggars would ride
If they had the horses
If wishes were horses
Beggars would ride
If wishes were horses
Beggars would ride
If wishes were horses
Beggars would ride
If wishes were horses
Oh, beggars would ride
Beggars would ride
The carousel is burning
The models eyes are yearning
The tables aren't turning
But the lunch is free
And its never cheap enough
And its always the same stuff
And they forever call your bluff
And forever get their fee
Say there's another color...
There is no limitation
Set upon this nation
What is our station
And relationship?
What about the pollution
And the constitution?
What is the purpose
Of this burning branch I grip?
If wishes were horses
Beggars would ride...
The cheese is full of mold
Oh, come into the fold with me
Global domination
While it sparks my imagination
It kills the vegetation
Ain't its not my cup of tea
The stairs are high and winding
My brother is divining
The empire is declining
But the wine is old
Its never sweet enough
And a little too tough
And they play a bit too rough
And they talk a little bit too cold
Say there's another color
Just say it on a bet
You know its true
Though you haven't heard it yet
They're playing it for keeps
Like pieces on a board
You know its true
Though you haven't heard before
Welcome to the decline
Its going just fine
Its good for the wine
And its good for the forces
You can run but you can't hide
And beggars would ride
If they had the horses
If wishes were horses
Beggars would ride
If wishes were horses
Beggars would ride
If wishes were horses
Beggars would ride
If wishes were horses
Oh, beggars would ride
Beggars would ride
The carousel is burning
The models eyes are yearning
The tables aren't turning
But the lunch is free
And its never cheap enough
And its always the same stuff
And they forever call your bluff
And forever get their fee
Say there's another color...
There is no limitation
Set upon this nation
What is our station
And relationship?
What about the pollution
And the constitution?
What is the purpose
Of this burning branch I grip?
If wishes were horses
Beggars would ride...

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
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,

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.
