This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
ANNIE
Maybe far away or maybe real nearby
He may be pouring her coffee
She may be straighting his tie
Maybe in a house all hidden by a hill
She's sitting playing piano
He's sitting paying a bill
Betcha they're young, betcha they're smart
Bet they collect things like ashtrays and art
Betcha they're good, why shouldn't they be?
Their one mistake was giving up me
So maybe now it's time and maybe when I wake
They'll be there calling me "Baby"
Maybe...
Betcha he reads, betcha she sews
Maybe she's made me a closet of clothes
Maybe they're strict, as straight as a line
Don't really care as long as they're mine
So maybe now this prayer's the last one of its kind
Won't you please come get your baby
Maybe
Maybe far away or maybe real nearby
He may be pouring her coffee
She may be straighting his tie
Maybe in a house all hidden by a hill
She's sitting playing piano
He's sitting paying a bill
Betcha they're young, betcha they're smart
Bet they collect things like ashtrays and art
Betcha they're good, why shouldn't they be?
Their one mistake was giving up me
So maybe now it's time and maybe when I wake
They'll be there calling me "Baby"
Maybe...
Betcha he reads, betcha she sews
Maybe she's made me a closet of clothes
Maybe they're strict, as straight as a line
Don't really care as long as they're mine
So maybe now this prayer's the last one of its kind
Won't you please come get your baby
Maybe

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”

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.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
This song is really having children and caring for other people. People in the West now-a-days make excuses for being selfish and have really small families, but that's not how they did it in the old days, nor how they do it in the rest of the world.
People don't realize it, but they get married really late and then contracept until they have 1 or 2 kids, and it's not good for the West. An epidemic or natural disasters will come, wipe us clean out, the Mexicans take over. All this "overpopulation" stuff is sinister, it's just an excuse for selfishness.
This happened to Rome and Egypt, too : people in civilizations get wrapped up with themselves, neglect having kids through the greedy, then get overwhelmed by "the barbarians", who at that point have the better idea about what it is to be human.
This song is also about Divine Providence, because pretty soon Daddy Warbucks is going to adopt Annie. And in real life, God and the Saints are looking out for us, especially if we let them.
"Annie" is a great movie about kids and parenthood, but in allegorical ways.
