This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
If we don't watch the sun
It will rise
If we don't take our time
It's not wise
Putting posters up
For your band
(Hey, we're playing a gig tonight if you wanna come by)
Now I'll tear them down
With my hand
I didn't wanna notice
Didn't know the gun was loaded
Didn't really know this
What kind of asshole drives a Lotus?
Come here and go get with me
I wanna see you Wednesday
Come on, come on, come over
Take it off your shoulder
Come on and pull me over
We gotta get to work now
Sliding it off your shoulder
As we're falling over
Oh, welcome to Japan
Scuba-dancing, touchdown
I didn't wanna notice
Didn't know the gun was loaded
Didn't really know this
What kind of asshole drives a Lotus?
I didn't want to bore you
Didn't wanna pick up your shit for ya
I've been ready to do this
I'll be there
Come here and go get with me
I wanna see you Wednesday
Come on, come on, come over
Take it off your shoulder
Come on and pull me over (I don't mind)
We gotta get to work now
Sliding it off your shoulder (I don't mind)
As we're fallin' over
You did it alone, you did it for fun
You did it for everyone who's on the run
You're not just a friend, you'll be born again
We'll be in this race until the very end
He lives on the phone, he cheats on his clone
You'll never believe me 'til you're on your own
Comes in once a month and he never leaves
He said he is broken, yet he lives free
Didn't wanna floor ya
I didn't wanna be there for ya
I didn't wanna warn ya
I'll be there
It will rise
If we don't take our time
It's not wise
Putting posters up
For your band
(Hey, we're playing a gig tonight if you wanna come by)
Now I'll tear them down
With my hand
I didn't wanna notice
Didn't know the gun was loaded
Didn't really know this

Come here and go get with me
I wanna see you Wednesday
Come on, come on, come over
Take it off your shoulder
Come on and pull me over
We gotta get to work now

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”
Magical

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.
I kinda think it's random ultimately, but if you want to try to put meaning to it it seems to me like it's about casual sex and an affair on a bad relationship... in Japan. Whatever it's about it's one of their best songs for me!
