This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
It's like I never had time to look away.
Bodies stuck between death and decay,
are plastic and set up on display.
And their eyes are wide and they are looking my way.
Each ligament exposed, each muscle connected.
And every organ that I proudly neglected.
have been arranged for the common collective.
Stomaching the sight of something dead resurrected.
It seems we're fearfully made and designed.
But it's a shame we can be so blind.
We're all the same,
made of hair and bones and water and blood cells.
We're all to blame,
for spending way too much time on ourselves.
I have been blessed and now I'm blind.
The veil’s been pulled over my eyes.
Now every bad season that kept me believing seems so contrived.
There's more glory to be seen
and savored through suffering
than ever was through self-serving escape.
Ashes to ashes
And dust to dust
Bodies stuck between death and decay,

But it's a shame we can be so blind.

We're all to blame,
for spending way too much time on ourselves.
I have been blessed and now I'm blind.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.
American Town

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.
I think this song is basically about how, no matter how much we put in to life, we all go out the same. It doesn't matter who we are or what kind of name we've made for ourselves, life ends the same for us all. In the end, all that's left for people to see is our physical bodies
The opening lines, in my opinion, are saying that we can go from life to death so quickly and easily. One moment we're here, the next, we're not.
That's what I take from the song... although I don't understand all of it completely. But TCC is incredible! I can't wait to hear what else they have for us on The Silver Cord!!
