This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I colored this picture for you
A little girl crying in her room
Her mom's just outside the door holding her head
And her brother's outside shooting hoops
Yeah, you can see him past her windowsill,
but we're not looking at him the same ever again
Baby what'd he do to you?
Come on what's happened to you?
Tell mama that you're ok?
May flowers
She won't say a single word
the doctor's gave up on her,
some things just can't be cured
Or covered up
These days she's hardly alive
Uh oh, Uh oh
She's already dead in the eyes
Uh oh, Uh oh
The house has been silent ever since.
Uh oh
Tell me what happened to Caroline
Whatever happened to Caroline?
What ever happened to Caroline?
Come on!
Baby what'd he do to you?
Come on what's happened to you?
Mama knows it hurts inside
Deflowered!
"When you're on your feed again you'll grow a resilience to those cold,
unrelenting showers"
May flowers
Grow taller
the harder April storms on the land
If you knew these storms were gonna come
I thought mothers protected their young
Those rainclouds are hiding your son
Now look at what happened to Caroline!
Look at what happened to Caroline!
Whatever happened to Caroline?
How do we solve a problem like
Uh oh, uh uh, uh oh, uh huh, uh oh
you don't.
Uh oh Uh oh!
still we've got to catch those clouds,
we've got to keep them down.
How do we solve a problem we don't want to know about?
Uh oh, we don't..

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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
although the theme is disturbing this is such an amazing song "How do we solve a problem we don't want to know about?" Kasher might be trying to say it happens more often than we think.
