This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Woke and nothing feels right
Can't believe I made it through the night
The sky was cracked like porcelain
And all the souls they rose and marched again
It's the same dream
It goes on and on and on and on
But this is where it ends
This is the collapse
This is the collapse
So don't you close your eyes
This is the collapse
It's just one of those days where nothing sounds right
It's just one of those days where nothing looks right
It's just one of those days where nothing feels right
And all these things go on and on and on and
On and on until tonight
This is the collapse
This is the collapse
So don't close your eyes
This is the collapse '
It's just one of those days where nothing feels right
It's just one of those days
I'm never going home
I walk among the ghosts
Of all my former loves
And all my future selves
This is the final straw
I'll take you by the throat
I'll shake you like a doll
Just feed my starving heart
Can't believe I made it through the night
The sky was cracked like porcelain
And all the souls they rose and marched again
It's the same dream
It goes on and on and on and on
But this is where it ends
This is the collapse
This is the collapse
So don't you close your eyes
This is the collapse
It's just one of those days where nothing sounds right
It's just one of those days where nothing looks right
It's just one of those days where nothing feels right
And all these things go on and on and on and
On and on until tonight
This is the collapse
This is the collapse
So don't close your eyes
This is the collapse '
It's just one of those days where nothing feels right
It's just one of those days
I'm never going home
I walk among the ghosts
Of all my former loves
And all my future selves
This is the final straw
I'll take you by the throat
I'll shake you like a doll
Just feed my starving heart

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.

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.
Forgive me if im completely wrong but heres what i get out of it:
Ok. So this guy wakes up and "nothing feels right" because his girl isnt lying there beside him. And he "cant belive he made it through the night" without her. And he is having strange dreams over and over again, And he knows hes got to make them stop somehow. And somehow NOTHING seems to be alright anymore, like everythings just gone crazy and hes lost control. And hes going to end it all by showing the girl what shes doing to him hence "this is the collapse, So dont close your eyes" he wants her to feel everything he feels, and for her to be sorry and make everything alright again.
And im guessing that the last bit here... He "walks among the ghosts of all his former loves and all his future selves" I think that means that hes thinking about all his past relationships and how they went nowhere and thinking about all the diffrent things he could do with his future, analyzing every action and its consequence.
And finally he just gets sick of this whole big mess and so its "the final straw" and when he says "ill take you by the throat, Ill shake you like a doll. Just feed my starving heart" it means that he wants to hurt her like shes hurt him but in the end [and truthfully] he just wants her love to fill him up hence "just feed my starving heart"

This is my fav. song off "Until there's Nothing Left Of Us" Its' amazingly catchy! Like most of their other songs, it's about a breakup, and the guy's word is like ending (figuratively). He just wishes she'd love him. That's what I got out of it...
This is how I feel right now... sort of. I never really thought that it was about a relationship, but maybe (and rather obviously) it is.
Personally this is my favorite song from "Until Theres Nothing Left Of Us" also and i totally agree with KHxChemicalScream
