This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I know you thought you're a real operator
But I don't know why
All you had was a bankroll, babe
And a glint in your eye
I'm high steppin' like an Indian brave
I'm the one dancing on your grave
You know I'm a killer, babe
Here's late news for you
You couldn't buy me with a million, babe
'Cause I'm too good for you
I know you think I'm real rough trade
Now I'm the one dancing on your grave
One time you was a real high-stepper
On the high trapeze
But you know you ran out of money
Wound up on your knees
I'm the one you never made
And now I'm the one dancing on your grave
I'm the one
But I don't know why
All you had was a bankroll, babe
And a glint in your eye
I'm high steppin' like an Indian brave
I'm the one dancing on your grave
You know I'm a killer, babe
Here's late news for you
You couldn't buy me with a million, babe
'Cause I'm too good for you
I know you think I'm real rough trade
Now I'm the one dancing on your grave
One time you was a real high-stepper
On the high trapeze
But you know you ran out of money
Wound up on your knees
I'm the one you never made
And now I'm the one dancing on your grave
I'm the one

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”

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,

Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
This song is about someone who thoght they were a high roller. Then they run out of money and hes there to celebrate their loss hence Dancing on Your Grave
I'd like to rededicate this song in honor of the late Kenneth Lay. ^.^ dances
