This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Yeah, I been in debt from conception
And I'll pay for the rest of your life
As long as I mail my bills and look me in the eye
You can have it now, but you gotta pay for it later
Oh, you work me up, I pay my plan
Now you're working for the man, yeah
They got you goin' in
They got you comin' out
Same amount, woo, in 'n' out
There ain't no way 'round the system
Money makes this world go 'round
All the way, they got you down
Sing and add it up for throwing yourself out the window, oh
My conscience loves to stick around
One more payment, lay it down on the ground
Well, they got you comin' in
They got you goin' out
Same amount, woo, in 'n' out, oh
Uh, uh, uh, yeah
Uh, uh, uh, yeah
Uh, uh, uh, yeah
Woo, come on
Hey, it all depends how you see it
It's a plan or an opportunity
One thing for certain, you're gettin' nothin' free
I never met a man doesn't owe somebody somethin', no
No way to get free and clear
Only deeper, year after year, oh yeah
Well, they got you comin' in
Well, they got you goin' out
Got you comin' in for the same amount
Goin' out

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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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,
Amazing

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.
Seems like a song about the work-a-day life. Living paycheck to paycheck, sweating bills, hoping your credit card goes through. It's a cycle you gotta break out of, but it's hard to do.
This describes the financial difficulties being the lead singer of a world-famous rock band.
