This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
The wind is rising outside, the house is a trembling
The leaves are shivering
Out in the fields where we walk, the roots that support us
Have built a fortress
Well we grow in the breeze like the family tree
Who's seeds were planted here
Will they rise at all in my memory?
They do
Who were they? Where are they now?
Just faces and photographs Letters and lithographs
Drunkards and fathers they were, preachers and soldiers
Upon their shoulders
Well we grow in the breeze like the family tree
Who's seeds were planted here
Will they rise at all in my memory?
They do
Their houses are crumbling, the wells dried up long ago
Waters stops flowin, this tree will always grow
A wind is rising outside, the branches are swaying
Children are playing
Between the earth and the sky, between the pages
They lived through the ages
They grow in the breeze, like the family tree
Who's seeds are planted here
Will they rise at all in my memory?
They do
The leaves are shivering
Out in the fields where we walk, the roots that support us
Have built a fortress
Well we grow in the breeze like the family tree
Who's seeds were planted here
Will they rise at all in my memory?
They do
Who were they? Where are they now?
Just faces and photographs Letters and lithographs
Drunkards and fathers they were, preachers and soldiers
Upon their shoulders
Well we grow in the breeze like the family tree
Who's seeds were planted here
Will they rise at all in my memory?
They do
Their houses are crumbling, the wells dried up long ago
Waters stops flowin, this tree will always grow
A wind is rising outside, the branches are swaying
Children are playing
Between the earth and the sky, between the pages
They lived through the ages
They grow in the breeze, like the family tree
Who's seeds are planted here
Will they rise at all in my memory?
They do

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.

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.
