This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I've seen too much this year
I long for it to pass
The type of memories
That turn a heart to glass
My mother named me well
My father worked the land
In dust my ribs were formed
And I'll return again
Calm my soul
We are burning up the earth
It's body and it's breath
We hurt the ones we love
And we wound what we protect, God
Calm my soul
Calm my soul
Who bleeds more
Calm my soul
I have walked behind for too long
Now I will lead the way
I have strayed
I have strayed
Strayed away
If you've loved in haste
Thinking only of the cost
Every river leads to land
Every lover to a cross
Your mind and heart at war
And they thrash inside your lips
Like an arrow passing through
Your tongue can kill or it can kiss
Calm your soul
Calm your soul
There is hope
Calm your soul
I long for it to pass
The type of memories
That turn a heart to glass
My mother named me well
My father worked the land
In dust my ribs were formed
And I'll return again
Calm my soul
We are burning up the earth
It's body and it's breath
We hurt the ones we love
And we wound what we protect, God
Calm my soul
Calm my soul
Who bleeds more
Calm my soul
I have walked behind for too long
Now I will lead the way
I have strayed
I have strayed
Strayed away
If you've loved in haste
Thinking only of the cost
Every river leads to land
Every lover to a cross
Your mind and heart at war
And they thrash inside your lips
Like an arrow passing through
Your tongue can kill or it can kiss
Calm your soul
Calm your soul
There is hope
Calm your soul

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,
