This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I know that you're hiding things
Using gentle words to shelter me
Your words were like a dream
But dreams could never fool me
Not that easily
I acted so distant then
Didn't say goodbye before you left
But I was listening
You'll fight your battles far from me
Far too easily
Save your tears, 'cuz I'll come back
I could hear that you whispered
As you walked through that door
But still I swore
To hide the pain when I turned
Back the pages
Shouting might have been the answer
What if I'd cried my eyes out
And begged you not to depart?
But now I'm not afraid
To say what's in my heart
For 1000 words
That have never been spoken
Will fly to you
Crossing over the time and distance
Holding you
Suspended on silver wings
And 1000 words
1000 confessions
Will cradle you
Making all of the pain you feel
Seem far away
They'll hold you forever
The dream isn't over yet
Though I often say I can't forget
I still relive that day
You've been there with me all the way
I still hear you say
Wait for me, I'll write you letters
I could see how you stand
With your eyes to the floor
But still I swore
To hide the doubt
When i turned back the pages
Anger might have been the answer
What if I'd hung my head
And said that I couldn't wait
But now I'm strong enough
To know it's not too late
'Cuz 1000 words
Called out through the ages
Will fly to you
Even though we can't see
I know they're reaching you
Suspended on silver wings
Oh, 1000 words
1000 embraces
Will cradle you
Making all of your weary days
Seem far away
They'll hold you forever
1000 words
Have never been spoken
Will fly to you
They'll carry you home
And back into my arms
Suspended on silver wings
Oh
And 1000 words
Called out through the ages
Will cradle you
Turning all of your lonely years
To holy days
They'll hold you forever
Using gentle words to shelter me
Your words were like a dream
But dreams could never fool me
Not that easily
I acted so distant then
Didn't say goodbye before you left
But I was listening
You'll fight your battles far from me
Far too easily
Save your tears, 'cuz I'll come back
I could hear that you whispered
As you walked through that door
But still I swore
To hide the pain when I turned
Back the pages
Shouting might have been the answer
What if I'd cried my eyes out
And begged you not to depart?
But now I'm not afraid
To say what's in my heart
For 1000 words
That have never been spoken
Will fly to you
Crossing over the time and distance
Holding you
Suspended on silver wings
And 1000 words
1000 confessions
Will cradle you
Making all of the pain you feel
Seem far away
They'll hold you forever
The dream isn't over yet
Though I often say I can't forget
I still relive that day
You've been there with me all the way
I still hear you say
Wait for me, I'll write you letters

Suspended on silver wings
Oh, 1000 words
1000 embraces
Will cradle you
Making all of your weary days
Seem far away
They'll hold you forever
1000 words

Will fly to you
They'll carry you home
And back into my arms
Suspended on silver wings
Oh
And 1000 words
Called out through the ages
Will cradle you
Turning all of your lonely years
To holy days
They'll hold you forever

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

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.
I heard this song through a friend who sent it to me and i love it! I haven't got that far in the game yet but its a beautiful song, Go Koda kumi!
