This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
It weighs too much this time
My hands are broken
She'll disappear again
Before we've spoken
The night we took that year
In Black Leaf Falls
All of the trees were bare
Next to the dance hall
I saw you outside
The bathroom stalls
You were just standing there
Out in the hall
You leaned your hip against
Against the wall
I'd love you anywhere
But Black Leaf Falls
Her perfume was so
I smell it still
I put her leaf upon
The window sill
I found it there today
Its color gone
It's in the water now
It's been too too long
I saw you outside
The bathroom stall
You were just standing there
Out in the hall
You leaned your hip against
Against the wall
I'd love you anywhere
But Black Leaf Falls
I'll fall asleep tonight
See where they take me
Fly with the maple seeds
See if she wakes me
I saw you outside
The bathroom stalls
You were just standing there
Out in the hall
You turned your eyes to me
I felt it all
I'd love you anywhere
But Black Leaf Falls
Oh, Black Leaf Falls
My hands are broken
She'll disappear again
Before we've spoken
The night we took that year
In Black Leaf Falls
All of the trees were bare
Next to the dance hall
I saw you outside
The bathroom stalls
You were just standing there
Out in the hall
You leaned your hip against
Against the wall
I'd love you anywhere
But Black Leaf Falls
Her perfume was so
I smell it still
I put her leaf upon
The window sill
I found it there today
Its color gone
It's in the water now
It's been too too long
I saw you outside
The bathroom stall
You were just standing there
Out in the hall
You leaned your hip against
Against the wall
I'd love you anywhere
But Black Leaf Falls
I'll fall asleep tonight
See where they take me
Fly with the maple seeds
See if she wakes me
I saw you outside
The bathroom stalls
You were just standing there
Out in the hall
You turned your eyes to me
I felt it all
I'd love you anywhere
But Black Leaf Falls
Oh, Black Leaf Falls

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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,
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
American Town

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
To me this song was about a mysterious one night stand at a town called Black Leaf Falls. The two strangers meet at a dance hall. He spots her standing out in the hall and there is a sudden but very powerful connection. The very last chorus when he says "You turned your eyes to me. I felt it all" really has a profound meaning. These two strangers have never meet but the second they make eye contact just have a mysterious understanding about each other. They hook up (possibly in the bathroom) and then she disappears and he never sees her again except for in his dreams: "I'll fall asleep tonight See where they take me Fly with the maple seeds See if she wakes me". The song is a strikingly beautiful mix of intimacy, mystery, sex, loneliness, longing, and nostalgia about a dreamlike meeting between two strangers and the love they find.
