This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Drain me, suck the life from me
Now my body weeps like an old willow tree
They¹re taking my life, they¹re taking my individuality
I¹ve become another one of the unknowns
No individuals, just company clones
They think for me now
They think for me now
They took my life and I don¹t know how
I live to work and I work to live
But they want it all and I have no more to give
It¹s a ritual, religious its all the same
I¹m not crazy, just a little bit insane
Locked in when the card slides through
Let the games begin now I¹m turning blue
Suffocated
Cuz I¹m choking on a check
Desecrated
Cuz I have no self-respect
They took my name and gave me a 4 digit number
My spirit is tamed by the one I work under
[Chorus:]
You can take my life but you¹ll never take my soul
Healing, I¹m not willing
I need control
I¹m an obsolete man
In a web of conformity you find yourself caught
Welcome to the world survivors of the onslaught
Question the things all the things you¹ve been taught
Your body, your mind, commodity you are not
Cuz flesh and blood is all that you got
Because flesh and blood is all that you got
Because flesh and blood is all that you got!!!
It was painful when I realized
My oppression and my daily disguise
I was not happy when I opened my eyes
I was not happy when I opened my eyes!!!
Cada dia de tu vida trabajas pa vivir
Faltas control pero hay que subsistir
Y pensando lo bien eso es la realidad
No tienes tus derechos y menos la dignidad
Pero siquiera en la mesa tienes la comida
Viviendo como esclavo por el resto de tu vida!
Viviendo como esclavo por el resto de tu vida!!
Viviendo como esclavo por el resto de tu vida!!!

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”

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,
