This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Spaced in time child of nine
Doin' twenty years on the way
Fire and steel earth unreal
Find another planet to stay
Papa died ma survived
Tellin' me about her ordeal
And the soul she could not feel
'Cause they made her so unreal
Lightnin' years disappears
Twenty million years on my brain
Synthesize overrides
Tryin' to keep from goin' insane
And my soul I can not feel
'Cause they made me so unreal
Spaced enough to know I feel there's nothin' out there
Spaced enough to know I feel I really don't care
Spaced enough to feel I'm really losin' my mind
And I'm never never never never ever goin' back
I'm off the track no one even knows I'm alive
Spaced without a trace
Waitin' for the word to arrive
I'm the last man to survive
Doin' twenty years on the way
Fire and steel earth unreal
Find another planet to stay
Papa died ma survived
Tellin' me about her ordeal
And the soul she could not feel
'Cause they made her so unreal
Lightnin' years disappears
Twenty million years on my brain
Synthesize overrides
Tryin' to keep from goin' insane
And my soul I can not feel
'Cause they made me so unreal
Spaced enough to know I feel there's nothin' out there
Spaced enough to know I feel I really don't care
Spaced enough to feel I'm really losin' my mind
And I'm never never never never ever goin' back
I'm off the track no one even knows I'm alive
Spaced without a trace
Waitin' for the word to arrive
I'm the last man to survive

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,
I Can't Go To Sleep

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
wow, this songs hits it for me hard. Some songs l refer to worldly events etc, but l apply this song personally. Spaced in time child of nine. (born in Sept) Doing 20 years... (l was sent off to boarding school and military school, out at 19, had no idea how to do shit as l was stuck in school for all those years, 20 was a learning experience) Find another planet to stay? (l just wanted to disappear to another planet, trying and doing ludes, shrooms etc, no direction) my father died when l was 3, 1964, my mother became my best friend. She died in 1968 when l was 7. 2 types of cancer, she knew she was leaving and told me things.Made her so unreal? She lost her hair due to cobalt treatments, had a 14 inch open gap on her back where they kept cutting her open to do all sorts of things, spinal taps etc, guess taking tissue. Rare form of spinal cancer. Had 3 siblings, we were all split up by 1974, tried to keep from going insane started smoking and doing valium, weed etc. Never going back? My grandmother had done what she could, but there was really no home to go back to. Spaced without a trace. l hid and did what l wanted to do, basically being a fuck up. l am the last man to survive. l feel that as the youngest and all siblings have health problems, l will be the last to survive. On a good note, around 22 years old, l straightened out, joined the Army and got married. Still hanging in there at 57! This song helps me realize how far l have come and the obstacles l have overcome. That is why it is such a personal song to me.
