This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
All my life I've been slow and senseless
Not struck dumb, I'm just dumb, that's all
I can give you the constellations
Lay down here and we'll count them all
Madeleine
Madeleine
Madeleine
Call me back when the war is over
Call me back when your boyfriend's gone
I'm aware of your oscillations
Don't believe I'm the only one
Slave to the inside light
My world is burning on eternally
For the fire I lack this flame is feeling fine
Madeleine
Madeleine
Madeleine
Give my arms just for your intentions
Give my back to impress you now
I'm so joyful that I have found you
All I need's you to see me now
Slain by the words I lack
The world is bursting sappy music and
With your face so sad I long to make you mine
Slain by the inside light
My world is burning on eternally
For the fire I lack this flame is feeling fine

Slave to the inside light

For the fire I lack this flame is feeling fine

Give my arms just for your intentions
Give my back to impress you now
I'm so joyful that I have found you
All I need's you to see me now
Slain by the words I lack
The world is bursting sappy music and
With your face so sad I long to make you mine
Slain by the inside light
My world is burning on eternally
For the fire I lack this flame is feeling fine

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,

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.

“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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Another example of how beautifully Doughty can write a very vivid and rich song about something so elemental.
He's got a crush on this girl. The girl is in a bad relationship. He knows he's the better guy for her, but he is too timid to say anything ("slain by the words i lack..." -- easily one of my top 10 lyrics of all time). Great Song!
