This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I want to walk through this doorway
I want to open my mind
I want to pledge my allegiance to all I can find.
I want a car that will crash through the barriers
To a road no one knows.
I want to feel less control,
Want to bend and I want to land far from home.
The revolution of the earth around the sun
Is the perfect lesson of how it should be.
So if I cannot learn
To journey and return,
To never rest till I've seen all I can see
I want to learn a completely new language,
One I don't understand.
I want to help someone lost, someone helpless,
With the strength of my hand.
I want to come to the base of a statue built
Before they counted the years,
And there I'll fall with my face in my hands and cry
And feel their hope in my tears.
The revolution of the earth around the sun
Is the perfect lesson of how it should be.
So if I cannot learn,
To journey and return,
To never rest till I've seen all I can see
Train rides and pastures collidin
Colors and customs I've never seen
I know I, yes I know I,
I know I will stumble
But time is precious my friend.
Those who journey can easily understand,
The more they see the more they'll learn,
The more that they will be.
So this I swear to you, and this I swear to me,
I'll never rest till I've seen all I can see.
No, I'll never rest till I've seen all I can see.
I want to know where the strength of a person lies,
In their past or their future.
Is it in the way that they hurt or they love themselves
Or is it all an illusion?
I want to crawl from this skin that I'm painted in
Body, please let it give.
I want to find the creator of all good things
And ask what it means to live
I want to open my mind
I want to pledge my allegiance to all I can find.
I want a car that will crash through the barriers
To a road no one knows.
I want to feel less control,
Want to bend and I want to land far from home.
The revolution of the earth around the sun
Is the perfect lesson of how it should be.
So if I cannot learn
To journey and return,
To never rest till I've seen all I can see
I want to learn a completely new language,
One I don't understand.
I want to help someone lost, someone helpless,
With the strength of my hand.
I want to come to the base of a statue built
Before they counted the years,
And there I'll fall with my face in my hands and cry
And feel their hope in my tears.
The revolution of the earth around the sun
Is the perfect lesson of how it should be.
So if I cannot learn,
To journey and return,
To never rest till I've seen all I can see
Train rides and pastures collidin

But time is precious my friend.

The more that they will be.
So this I swear to you, and this I swear to me,

No, I'll never rest till I've seen all I can see.

And ask what it means to live

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,
No Surprises

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.
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/

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.
This song is gorgeous. Very inspirational. The last verse is my favorite.
Man this song is probably the best all around life song ever... It describes of how little time we have on this earth and how important it is to make the best of it.... Remember to LIVE.
Gorgeous song. About not wasting a second you have on earth, seeing as much as you can see while you still can, because life is very, very short.
Truly an amazing song.
