This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
You're always surrounded
You're always alone
I fell in love with New York
'Cause I wanna atone
I'm talking to strangers now
And I balance over the rail
I fell in love with New York
Where a boy is for sale
The city hangs like a chandelier
Gonna swing it if it kills me
Get a slick chattel internship
At a gallery in Chelsea
Well the rent's extortionate
All the give and no get
(Open oh open the door)
Wino oracles, top models, the lump in your throat
(Open oh open the door)
Because you're always surrounded
You're always alone
I fell in love with New York
'Cause I wanna atone
I'm talking to strangers now
And I balance over the rail
I fell in love with New York
Where a boy is for sale
Gimme that place where I can find my tribe.
Grey city covered in my colours
Gimme that place where I can crystallize
It's alright to be an other
You're always surrounded
You're always alone
I fell in love with New York
'Cause I wanna atone
I'm talking to strangers now
And I balance over the rails
I fell in love with New York
Where a boy is for for sale
You're always surrounded
You're always alone
I fell in love with New York
'Cause I wanna atone
I'm talking to strangers now
And I balance over the rails
I fell in love with New York
Where a boy is for sale
You're always alone
I fell in love with New York
'Cause I wanna atone
I'm talking to strangers now
And I balance over the rail
I fell in love with New York
Where a boy is for sale
The city hangs like a chandelier
Gonna swing it if it kills me
Get a slick chattel internship
At a gallery in Chelsea
Well the rent's extortionate
All the give and no get
(Open oh open the door)
Wino oracles, top models, the lump in your throat
(Open oh open the door)
Because you're always surrounded
You're always alone
I fell in love with New York
'Cause I wanna atone
I'm talking to strangers now
And I balance over the rail
I fell in love with New York
Where a boy is for sale
Gimme that place where I can find my tribe.
Grey city covered in my colours
Gimme that place where I can crystallize
It's alright to be an other
You're always surrounded
You're always alone
I fell in love with New York
'Cause I wanna atone
I'm talking to strangers now
And I balance over the rails
I fell in love with New York
Where a boy is for for sale
You're always surrounded
You're always alone
I fell in love with New York
'Cause I wanna atone
I'm talking to strangers now
And I balance over the rails
I fell in love with New York
Where a boy is for sale

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.
Amazing

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.
American Town

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.
