This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Hey yo this is the way we lay it down, on the L train
Yo help me out now, yo yo
Hey yo, Black I need help
I mean immediately and right away
Every single day I swear I'm gonna find a better way
My enemies are testing me
Dissing me and grilling me
Yesterday they cornered me and beat me down repeatedly
Imagine me now its like I'm Mr. Negativity
It's hard when you're packing
Devils start attacking
I got no time for running
No time for hiding
Now I got my crew and we about to get violent
So clear the streets
Shake the cops
Lets go get these punks
Are you all down?
Yo nobody better front
Sometimes I am a player
Sometimes I am a pawn
No energy to run
But I gotta carry on
I resurrect myself
Lazarus he was a man who died
Through the power of faith became alive
Open up your eyes and spy Lazarus
Better yet open up your heart imagine this
Riding on the train
Riding on the L train
I don't got no problems no more no more no
Riding on the train
Cruising on the L train
I will reach my destination for sure I know
Yo Black help me out
I mean immediately and right away
Meager is my property [?] and I don't got a hideaway
My enemies will badger me
Track me down and capture me
Yesterday they cornered me and beat me down relentlessly
Imagine me they used to call me Mr. Positivity
Hard when your slacking
Devils are attacking
I get no satisfaction
I get no gratification
In it for my self
I put my mind to my microphone
To your ear drum
Listen close 'cause here it come
Sometimes I am a player
Sometimes I am a pawn
No energy to run still I gots to carry on
I resurrect my self
Lazarus he was a man who died
Through the power of faith became alive
Open up your eyes and spy Lazarus
Better yet open up your heart y'all imagine this
Riding on the train
Riding on the L train
I don't got no problems no more no more no
Riding on the train
Cruising on the L train
I will reach my destination for sure I know
Now check it out
To the bright and early morn'
We keep it on
Nobody can ever know the patterns that we hold
Sometimes we are the players
Sometimes we are the pawn
We always carry on
We gotta carry on
To the bright and early morn'
We keep it on
Nobody can ever know the patterns that we hold
Sometimes we are the players
Sometimes we are the pawn
We always carry on
We gotta carry on
Riding on the train (on the train)
Riding on the L train (on the L train)
I don't got no problems no more no more no
Riding on the train (on the train)
Cruising on the L train
I will reach my destination for sure I know

Little Feat
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,

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.
