This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
In time we're all gonna show our age,
like colored birds in a dusty cage,
and the emptiness from which we came,
will strip us from our father's names.
And there's nothing lost, and nothing gained,
there's nothing different, and nothing's the same,
but while our hearts will stop and start,
two eyes greet the day,
we'll pay the price we're taught to pay
When all the tears run down you face,
and all thats left is the pressure under grace,
will you arm your self with a cold metal skin,
so one gets out, and no one gets in.
And there's nothing lost, and nothings gained.
there's nothing different and nothing's the same,
but while our heart will stop and start,
and two eyes greet the day,
we'll play these game like we're taught to play
like colored birds in a dusty cage,
and the emptiness from which we came,
will strip us from our father's names.
And there's nothing lost, and nothing gained,
there's nothing different, and nothing's the same,
but while our hearts will stop and start,
two eyes greet the day,
we'll pay the price we're taught to pay
When all the tears run down you face,
and all thats left is the pressure under grace,
will you arm your self with a cold metal skin,
so one gets out, and no one gets in.
And there's nothing lost, and nothings gained.
there's nothing different and nothing's the same,
but while our heart will stop and start,
and two eyes greet the day,
we'll play these game like we're taught to play

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.

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.

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,

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
beautiful. this is a pretty simple song to understand. i think it's just about life in general, missing the big picture. all of the beauty of life being stripped down to what we make of it.
About closing one's self off from the world, because that's all that we've been taught to do...
