This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Breathe in deep
I want you to
That's why the arm came for you
Help you up, help you out
To help you through
That's why the arm came for you
You faded into a different shade
A completely different hue
Of a kind of blue
In a lifeless carcass
In a bad ass car crash
Hopefully you'll wake up soon
Hopefully you do
I want you to
That's why the arm came for you
That's why the arm came for you
That's why the arm came for you
Now you'll see how it feels
To live like a bee
Always searching for what's honey
And the veins made some stains
When they burst from your legs
Your anxiety is a tapestry
Now you'll swim until it's deep
Until it feels like you're asleep
Against the sound of warning cries
Which you don't hear, oh
I could not hear
In a lifeless carcass in a bad ass car crash
Hopefully you wake up soon
Hopefully you do
Oh, I want you to
That's why the arm came for you
That's why the arm came for you
That's why the arm came for you
Don't go to sleep, don't want you to
That's why the arm came for you
Need it to even if it's pointless to
Let your arms carry you
You're mine, you're mine
You'll always be mine
Lord knows I tried to keep you from leaving
Maybe I'll try
You're mine, you're mine
Is that why I lied?
When I told you
You were breathing
Oh, maybe I'll try
Girl, I lie
I want you to
That's why the arm came for you
Help you up, help you out
To help you through
That's why the arm came for you
You faded into a different shade
A completely different hue
Of a kind of blue
In a lifeless carcass
In a bad ass car crash
Hopefully you'll wake up soon
Hopefully you do
I want you to
That's why the arm came for you
That's why the arm came for you
That's why the arm came for you
Now you'll see how it feels
To live like a bee
Always searching for what's honey
And the veins made some stains
When they burst from your legs
Your anxiety is a tapestry
Now you'll swim until it's deep
Until it feels like you're asleep
Against the sound of warning cries
Which you don't hear, oh
I could not hear
In a lifeless carcass in a bad ass car crash
Hopefully you wake up soon
Hopefully you do
Oh, I want you to
That's why the arm came for you
That's why the arm came for you
That's why the arm came for you
Don't go to sleep, don't want you to
That's why the arm came for you
Need it to even if it's pointless to
Let your arms carry you
You're mine, you're mine
You'll always be mine
Lord knows I tried to keep you from leaving
Maybe I'll try
You're mine, you're mine
Is that why I lied?
When I told you
You were breathing
Oh, maybe I'll try
Girl, I lie

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
Mountain Song

Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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 is one of my favorite Islands songs, and I've listened to it probably a gazillion times, so whenever I listened to it or sang along, the events described in the lyrics stopped even registering to me, even though things having to do with a "lifeless carcass" tend to be hard to ignore. I was able to get the chance to REALLY not ignore that kind of thing, though, a few months ago. I was on my way to work, riding my scooter, when someone tried to turn left in front of me when I had the right of way. Needless to say, he hit me; totalled my Vespa, and I hit and then was thrown over his car, then smeared across the road - a lifeless carcass in my very own badass car crash. I also lost 6 pints of blood, as both of my femurs broke in half and were sticking through my legs. The veins definitely made some stains (on my favorite skirt of course) when they burst from my legs, although in my case it was probably the femoral arteries in addition to veins. When I got to the hospital they put me in a coma, and it wasn't clear if I would wake up or not. When I put a CD on with this song on it a few months after I got to leave the hospital, listening to the words gave me a frission. But now I like to think that the person in this song did make it through.
P.S. Always wear your helmet. No matter what. Pretty much the only reason I am still able to enjoy Islands songs. Also, breathe.
