This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I hear the waves crash far below;
The rocks are leaping for the sky
They're starving for the air, for a bone to break,
A dream to smash apart, but I don't care
It looks deep enough from here, I'm diving
This cliff has been well worn by ignorance
It looks deep enough from here, I'm diving
They float face down they all look so content
I don't know why I'm even here
Guess I'm afraid to be alone
And down below I see my crew they look okay that can't be blood
The water here is far to blue
And gravity seems far away, but I can hear her Call my name
It's so comforting to know I'll never have to think again
It looks deep enough from here, I'm diving
This cliff has been well worn by ignorance
It looks deep enough from here, I'm diving
We float face down but don't we all look so content
The rocks are leaping for the sky
They're starving for the air, for a bone to break,
A dream to smash apart, but I don't care
It looks deep enough from here, I'm diving
This cliff has been well worn by ignorance
It looks deep enough from here, I'm diving
They float face down they all look so content
I don't know why I'm even here
Guess I'm afraid to be alone
And down below I see my crew they look okay that can't be blood
The water here is far to blue
And gravity seems far away, but I can hear her Call my name
It's so comforting to know I'll never have to think again
It looks deep enough from here, I'm diving
This cliff has been well worn by ignorance
It looks deep enough from here, I'm diving
We float face down but don't we all look so content

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.
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
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,
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.
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.
Although every interpretation is valid, I think the point of the song is that sometimes, no matter how "deep" some of us like to be, one must deliberately dive into ignorance. To me, that is one way to balance myself; trying to think about everything in this world can be overwhelming. Knowing this, it's necessary to forget the conflicts and just be from time to time. I think every interpretation works not only by themselves, but combined to give the poem more depth.
