This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
On, it’s on; I declare my room a scene.
Gone, then gone; it’s too much that they say you need.
It’s not perfection, yeah —
how boring if it is nothing new for me.
Light on up with everybody watching you;
lights go down, everything is yours to lose.
First dancer takes the floor;
laugh, but you can’t ignore what you’re gonna do.
Waiting for attention, I’m not.
Cut it to the left and I rock.
Need an invitation, I don’t.
Slide it to the right and I roll.
Here it goes; the crowning of the cool kid queen.
Here it goes; the competition show their teeth.
I’ll let them fight it out —
it’s just my party, now, what I want to be.
Stand on up; everyone in queue in costume.
Step on out; don’t get sucked in for a second.
Bright lights might say your name, but they only light the stage —
nothing there to prove.
Waiting for attention, I’m not.
Cut it to the left and I rock.
Need an invitation, I don’t.
Slide it to the right and I roll.
Waiting for attention, I’m not.
Cut it to the left and I rock.
Need an invitation, I don’t.
Slide it to the right and I roll.
Hey hey hey hey..
Don’t accept critique or credit.
Hey hey hey hey..
The definition always changes.
It’s not the same as yours;
you could be so much more the closer that you get.
…
Waiting for attention, I’m not.
Cut it to the left and I rock.
Need an invitation, I don’t.
Slide it to the right and I roll.
Waiting for attention, I’m not.
Cut it to the left and I rock.
Need an invitation, I don’t.
Slide it to the right and I roll.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
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,
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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.
its a good song showing where they are now as many songs show where they are as people and what they been going through most recently.
The chorus is like they dont need an invitation, they're famous! theres a reference there to "rock 'n roll" too
