This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Eternity, eternity
It's just a paycheck away
So chase that tail, chase your tail
The American tale
Apathy, complacency
Can I hear three cheers for thee?
(No? Oh well...)
Ahhh...
We know, we know, that we are more than this
More than we know, there's a reason we exist
We know, we know, we know
We won't be this easily dismissed
Commute, work, commute, sleep
We've got cars and homes to feed
Left my hair, left my hair, strands of myself in the sink
Nothing to say, nothing to say
'Cause that's all, all they wanna hear
Ahhh...
We know, we know that we are more than this
More than we know, there's a reason we exist
We know, we know, we know
We won't be this easily dismissed
So point me toward the morning
Can you point me toward the morning
Someone point me toward the morning
No more is it a sure thing
So point me toward the morning
Can you point me toward the morning
Someone point me toward the...
Apartment complex reeks
Of old takeout Chinese
At night the ventilation speaks
Russian and Cantonese
Ahhh...
We know, we know, that we are more than this
More than we know, there's a reason we exist
We know, we know, we know
We won't be this easily dismissed
Oh, we know, we know that we are more than this
More than we know, there's a reason we exist
We know, we know, we know...
We won't be this easily dismissed
No, we won't be so easily dismissed
It's just a paycheck away
So chase that tail, chase your tail
The American tale
Apathy, complacency
Can I hear three cheers for thee?
(No? Oh well...)
Ahhh...

More than we know, there's a reason we exist
We know, we know, we know

Left my hair, left my hair, strands of myself in the sink
Nothing to say, nothing to say
'Cause that's all, all they wanna hear

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.
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
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

“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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
This isn't new, by any means... I like what they did though. The original, "Sing Outside the Lines" is from the days of The Locals.
