This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
This means out
This is your way out
Do or drown
Do or drown in torpor
Leave no trace
All my files erased
Burn my clothes
Burn my Prada trainers
Let's sleep together right now
Relieve the pressure somehow
Switch off the future right now
Let's sleep forever
This is fate
This is your escape
Leave here now
Leave here now, it's over
Let's sleep together right now
Relieve the pressure somehow
Switch off the future right now
Let's sleep forever
This is your way out
Do or drown
Do or drown in torpor
Leave no trace
All my files erased
Burn my clothes
Burn my Prada trainers
Let's sleep together right now
Relieve the pressure somehow
Switch off the future right now
Let's sleep forever
This is fate
This is your escape
Leave here now
Leave here now, it's over
Let's sleep together right now
Relieve the pressure somehow
Switch off the future right now
Let's sleep forever

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.

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,
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
To echo what an2000 said, Steven Wilson did mention this as a slightly happy ending...this song, like much of the album, was inspired by the book "Lunar Park." Wilson mentions that this song was inspired by a part in the novel where all the kids start disappearing. It seems that they are being abducted or killed at first, but then it is clear that they "escaped" themselves. They become aware of the banality of their own existence and somehow manage to disappear from this world.
Could the escape be suicide? It certainly seems so. But I think the song is intentionally ambiguous...maybe the escape can be falling in love, actually physically moving away from, and burning all that is relvant to, postmodern western culture, or finding some sort of real meaning (maybe starting a family or something). I still see it as suicide though, depressing as it may be.
