This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
If the strain proves too much
Give up right away
If the light hurts your eyes
Stay in your room all day
When the room fills with smoke
Lie down on the floor
In the declining years
Of the long war
Well the blood’s in the water
And the shark’s gonna come
And we swim in the dark
Until our bodies are numb
Blind desert rats in the moonlight
Too far from shore
In the declining years
Of the long war
Empty room with a lightbulb
Where the phone starts to ring
Everybody gets nervous
Nobody says anything
The next day someone’s initials
Show up on the door
I think I’m gonna crack
Can’t live like this anymore
Ugly things in the darkness
Worse things in store
In the declining years
Of the long war
Give up right away
If the light hurts your eyes
Stay in your room all day
When the room fills with smoke
Lie down on the floor
In the declining years
Of the long war
Well the blood’s in the water
And the shark’s gonna come
And we swim in the dark
Until our bodies are numb
Blind desert rats in the moonlight
Too far from shore
In the declining years
Of the long war
Empty room with a lightbulb
Where the phone starts to ring
Everybody gets nervous
Nobody says anything
The next day someone’s initials
Show up on the door
I think I’m gonna crack
Can’t live like this anymore
Ugly things in the darkness
Worse things in store
In the declining years
Of the long war

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”
