This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Victim of anger, tied to distance
Where does it come from?
Distrust
I've stood strong
Held my head high through constant war
So brutal, so violent
So I tiptoe through conversation
A lapse in my step is misperceived
Unleash a breath of salvation
In dormancy lies everlasting
Remember all the fires we started?
Our aspirations for progression
We feed the burning for a better day
Don't let your selfishness extinguish the flame
Prevailing with lasting intentions
Never living behind your back
Never living behind your
Convictions leave me questioning
If you've been living behind mine
Where does it come from?
Distrust
I've stood strong
Held my head high through constant war
So brutal, so violent
So I tiptoe through conversation
A lapse in my step is misperceived
Unleash a breath of salvation
In dormancy lies everlasting
Remember all the fires we started?
Our aspirations for progression
We feed the burning for a better day
Don't let your selfishness extinguish the flame
Prevailing with lasting intentions
Never living behind your back
Never living behind your
Convictions leave me questioning
If you've been living behind mine

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,

Plastic Bag

Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
I think it is talking about a friendship gone wrong. And maybe they are trying there friendship out again and just hoping that they don't betray one another again.
Beautiful song, and tayluhhtrill is correct.
