This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
poor old ra you were much better off as a sun god weren't ya
no one gives a shit about your falcon head anymore
atet sunk down somewhere off the coast of new brunswick or the arctic
sektet sunk with horus stoned at the wheel
with every oil slick and passing barge, the chances that you are go down but with your feet in the egyptian sand, this weak little shell of a man falls away
I know that the plight of the morning's light will not let you love me and baby you got stitches that will tell me differently
when it's a patchwork of click and something that sounds like a beak break bonesaw it's good enough for ra but it's not good enough for me
as derelict you come off slow, even in the kitty jail you where calico and as the prisoner in the chains arrive, catcalls baring teeth come from every side
with every oil slick and passing barge, the chances that you are go down but with you feet in the egyptian sand, this weak little shell of a man falls away
I am the tension, you are the tightrope... you grabbed the last little straw that was hidden in your own forearm
I am the tension, you are the tightrope... you came prepared with a gun that was hidden in your own stone vest
I am the tension, you are the tightrope... part this pharoah with his crown when he is leaning on this cane, and isis...
will steal all secrets
I am the tension, you are the tightrope... benu that bird of ra with the collar of a snake, uraeus...
and plays with solar
I am the tension, you are the tightrope... hathor had changed to the lion and will always be combined, with sekmet...
and will kill all approaching
I am the tension, you are the tightrope... so give me a moment with her name and I'll see if I can tame, fell beast...
and as thoth I will bring her back
no one gives a shit about your falcon head anymore
atet sunk down somewhere off the coast of new brunswick or the arctic
sektet sunk with horus stoned at the wheel
with every oil slick and passing barge, the chances that you are go down but with your feet in the egyptian sand, this weak little shell of a man falls away

Mountain Song

Jane's Addiction
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,

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Beautiful lyrics. Sounds like a mourning for someone once great. The repeated "I am the tension, you are the tightrope" section gives the ending hope for the future.
I'm not sure what the extended Egyptian gods metaphor means here, possibly reinforcing a faded glory feeling.
