This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Soon as they fall asleep I'll be out of here
I'll put on my shoes and I'll sneak to the window
Brush the bird shit off the ledge
And shimmy shimmy off, shimmy shimmy
Sitting there looking down I prepare myself
Return to where I belong and betterfy myself
I hold my breath and close my eyes
I shimmy shimmy off, shimmy shimmy
As I fall to the lonely world below (fall down fall down)
In midair floating there I declare
So long to the second floor
It's been fun but I don't belong
Up there with the industry or
Up there with you wolves
Now I'm down here with the lower class
Down here with the idiots yeah
I feel better now
I said I feel better now
So long to the second floor
Soon as I get back home I find the door was locked
Pretend I'm a g.i. joe and sneak around the house
I hear the dogs they're all freaking out
I shimmy shimmy in, shimmy shimmy
As I fall to the lonely world below (fall down fall down)
In midair floating there I declare
So long to the second floor
It's been fun but I don't belong
Up there with the industry
Up there with you wolves
Now I'm down here with the lower class
Down here with the idiots yeah
I feel better now
I said I feel better now
So long to the second floor
I'm not ready, I'm not ready no
I'm not ready to spend the night alone
I'm not ready, I'm not ready no
I'm not ready to spend the night alone
I'm not ready, I'm not ready no
I'm not ready to spend the night alone
I'm not ready, I'm not ready no
I'm not ready, I'm not ready
So long to the second floor
It's been fun but I don't belong
Up there with the industry
Up there with you wolves
Down here with the lower class
Down here with the idiots yeah
I feel better now
I said I feel better now
So long to the second floor
I'll put on my shoes and I'll sneak to the window
Brush the bird shit off the ledge
And shimmy shimmy off, shimmy shimmy
Sitting there looking down I prepare myself
Return to where I belong and betterfy myself
I hold my breath and close my eyes
I shimmy shimmy off, shimmy shimmy
As I fall to the lonely world below (fall down fall down)
In midair floating there I declare
So long to the second floor
It's been fun but I don't belong
Up there with the industry or
Up there with you wolves
Now I'm down here with the lower class
Down here with the idiots yeah
I feel better now
I said I feel better now
So long to the second floor
Soon as I get back home I find the door was locked
Pretend I'm a g.i. joe and sneak around the house

In midair floating there I declare

Up there with you wolves
Now I'm down here with the lower class
Down here with the idiots yeah

I'm not ready to spend the night alone
I'm not ready, I'm not ready no
I'm not ready to spend the night alone
I'm not ready, I'm not ready no
I'm not ready to spend the night alone
I'm not ready, I'm not ready no
I'm not ready, I'm not ready
So long to the second floor
It's been fun but I don't belong
Up there with the industry
Up there with you wolves
Down here with the lower class
Down here with the idiots yeah
I feel better now
I said I feel better now
So long to the second floor

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,

“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.

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.
Eric said in an interview about this song
"when i was about 7 or 8 i had my first overnight at my friends zacks house. he lived down the street from my mom's. for some reason i was really uneasy about the whole idea of spending the night away from my mom. so when his mom put us to bed i waited until everyone was asleep and i jumped out of their second story window and ran back home. sometimes even though i'm older, my career feels like it's too much for me and i feel like i want to jump out of the window and run home to my mom. "
So from that I think the second floor refers to fame and fortune and all the things being in a popular band would lead to and he's saying he'd much prefer to be down here with the " poor " or the fans.
