This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I've dug up miles and miles of sand
Searching for something I can't see
I've just got bruised and battered hands
And a brand new void inside of me
Complete with walls, I did create
From all the earth that I've displaced
A mess that I have made
From what I've just let pile and pile up
I have not been abandoned
No, I have not been deserted
And I have not been forgotten
I need you, I need you here
I need you now, I need security somehow
I need you like you would not believe
You're the only thing I want
'Cause you're everything, everything I need
Explore the cave that is my chest
A torch reveals there's nothing left
Your whispers echo off the wall
And you can hear my distant call
The voice of who I used to be
Screaming out, "Someone, someone please
Please shine a light into the black
Wade through the depths and bring me back"
I have not been abandoned
No, I have not been deserted
And I have not been forgotten
I need you, I need you here
I need you now, I need security somehow
I need you like you would not believe
You're the only thing I want
'Cause you're everything, everything I need
I need you, I need you now
When my hope seem to dangle
Somewhere just beyond my reach
You say you've heard my prayers
You've read my words there, on the beach
I need you, I need you here
I need you now, I need security somehow
I need you like you would not believe
You're the only thing I want
'Cause you're everything, everything
I need you, I need you here
I need you now, I need security somehow
'Cause you're everything, everything, everything
(I need you, I need you now)
Searching for something I can't see
I've just got bruised and battered hands
And a brand new void inside of me
Complete with walls, I did create
From all the earth that I've displaced
A mess that I have made
From what I've just let pile and pile up
I have not been abandoned
No, I have not been deserted
And I have not been forgotten
I need you, I need you here
I need you now, I need security somehow
I need you like you would not believe
You're the only thing I want
'Cause you're everything, everything I need
Explore the cave that is my chest
A torch reveals there's nothing left
Your whispers echo off the wall
And you can hear my distant call
The voice of who I used to be
Screaming out, "Someone, someone please
Please shine a light into the black
Wade through the depths and bring me back"
I have not been abandoned
No, I have not been deserted
And I have not been forgotten
I need you, I need you here
I need you now, I need security somehow
I need you like you would not believe
You're the only thing I want
'Cause you're everything, everything I need
I need you, I need you now
When my hope seem to dangle
Somewhere just beyond my reach
You say you've heard my prayers
You've read my words there, on the beach
I need you, I need you here
I need you now, I need security somehow
I need you like you would not believe
You're the only thing I want
'Cause you're everything, everything
I need you, I need you here
I need you now, I need security somehow
'Cause you're everything, everything, everything
(I need you, I need you now)

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Just A Little Lovin'

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
This song absolutely rocks! I love it! They are crying out to God that they need him. This has to be my favorite Relient K song yet. I have felt very much this way before, so it is so cool to have a song from my favorite band that's about it.
