This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Why do you care what people think?
Are you hooked up to their leash?
You know anklebiters
Ate up your personality
Try to remember how it felt
To just make up your own steps
And let anklebiters
Chew up, spit out someone else
And fall in love with yourself
Because someday you're gonna be
The only one you've got
Someday you're gonna be
The only one you've got
Why you wanna please the world
And leave yourself to drop dead?
Someday you're gonna be
The only one you've got
What do you actually expect?
A broken mirror to reflect?
You know, anklebiters
Gave you a false perception
And why do I defend (c'mon, c'mon)
Your ignorance?
Oh, why do I defend (c'mon, c'mon)
The state you're in?
You should fall in love with yourself
Oh, again
Fall in love with yourself
Because someday you're gonna be
The only one you've got
Someday you're gonna be
The only one you've got
Why you wanna please the world
And leave yourself to drop dead?
Someday you're gonna be
The only one you've got
Anklebiters

Someday you're gonna be alone

Because someday you're gonna be
The only one you've got
Someday you're gonna be

Why you wanna please the world
And leave yourself to drop dead?
Someday you're gonna be
The only one you've got
What do you actually expect?

Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
This song of Paramore is pretty direct in interpretation, The singer is like conversing with another person who has been feeling down on there-selves since they have been trying way too hard to please everyone and forgetting who they were in the process. Life is not meant to be used to please everyone because not all can be satisfied with what you do, even if you try your hardest to do so. Before anything else we need to love ourselves first and accept who we are this is the time you will realize that there are people who well like you for who you are instead of you are trying to be.
