This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I picked you up, I held you out
I love you, I love you
I placed you down, I held my breath
I wonder, yeah, I wonder
What'd I do? You're not around
It's a fall, I've got to tell you
That this wall was not meant for you
I see sides all, sides all around
Get through, you'll get through this
The moon strikes one, you rest your head
This refuge, oh this refuge
The sun comes up and life begins
There's danger, oh, there's danger
What'd I do if you weren't around?
It's a fall, I've got to tell you
That this wall was not meant for you
I see sides all, sides all around
You'll get through, you'll get through
The human condition
Needs a hiding place
This human condition
Needs a hiding place, a hiding place
It's a fall, I've got to tell you
That this wall was not meant for you
I see sides all, sides all around
You'll get through, you'll get through
You'll get through, through, you'll get through
I love you, I love you
I placed you down, I held my breath
I wonder, yeah, I wonder
What'd I do? You're not around
It's a fall, I've got to tell you
That this wall was not meant for you
I see sides all, sides all around
Get through, you'll get through this
The moon strikes one, you rest your head
This refuge, oh this refuge
The sun comes up and life begins
There's danger, oh, there's danger
What'd I do if you weren't around?
It's a fall, I've got to tell you
That this wall was not meant for you
I see sides all, sides all around
You'll get through, you'll get through
The human condition
Needs a hiding place
This human condition
Needs a hiding place, a hiding place
It's a fall, I've got to tell you
That this wall was not meant for you
I see sides all, sides all around
You'll get through, you'll get through
You'll get through, through, you'll get through

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
The chorus actually goes
[It's a father's job to tell you That this world was not meant for you. I see signs all, signs all around.]
No question it stumped a lot of people until they read it.
Amazing song though, it means a lot to me as a new father and knowing this world can be a shitty place.
i'm pretty sure raine wrote this song about his three sons. about being a father and wishing his sons could grow up in a better world than this.
I guess being a father has to change your outlook on the world somehow. I don't think Raine has changed, even if the music style of OLP has. He still thinks the world is a pretty crappy place, but if you have children of your own you've got to have some hope that things will be allright, for their sake! ("You'll get through")
Oh btw don't you think this song sounds quite "indie rock"? There's a few like that on the album, and I don't mind that.
