This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Well the bomb went off about a mile from town,
And it moved so fast nobody heard the sound,
As it covered them up and spit them out,
I turned the radio up and the car around,
Well, there's a lot of strange things I've seen in my day,
Things that would make some folks lose faith,
But I've never had the chance, and before I'm gone,
I'd like to see the center of an atom bomb.
Well I picked you up at your daddy's house,
With a little white fence and the windows blown out,
I'm just glad that you made it underground,
Before that rain of fire came 'a tumbling down,
And it was hard to remember just what we had thought,
All of those times that we spat and fought,
And the place I left you cryin' is a vacant lot,
And when I kiss you baby all that I can taste is blood.
If tragedy's what you want,
I know a pretty good place to start,
Someday they'll call it art
If tragedy's what you want,
I know a pretty good place to start,
Someday they'll mark this spot
Well the closer we go and the hotter it gets
Cause the AC is blown and death is pouring through the vents,
It's a smelting pot, where we connect,
And our eyes pour out like we were tape cassettes,
And all the people we've been being all but start to rewind,
Replaying all the things that we did with our time,
It's an end and a beginning and an in between,
And now we're finally spliced together like you always dreamed.
If tragedy's what you want,
I know a pretty good place to start,
Someday they'll call it art
If tragedy's what you want,
I know a pretty good place to start,
Someday they'll mark this spot
And it moved so fast nobody heard the sound,
As it covered them up and spit them out,
I turned the radio up and the car around,
Well, there's a lot of strange things I've seen in my day,
Things that would make some folks lose faith,
But I've never had the chance, and before I'm gone,
I'd like to see the center of an atom bomb.
Well I picked you up at your daddy's house,
With a little white fence and the windows blown out,
I'm just glad that you made it underground,
Before that rain of fire came 'a tumbling down,
And it was hard to remember just what we had thought,
All of those times that we spat and fought,
And the place I left you cryin' is a vacant lot,
And when I kiss you baby all that I can taste is blood.
If tragedy's what you want,
I know a pretty good place to start,
Someday they'll call it art
If tragedy's what you want,
I know a pretty good place to start,
Someday they'll mark this spot
Well the closer we go and the hotter it gets
Cause the AC is blown and death is pouring through the vents,
It's a smelting pot, where we connect,
And our eyes pour out like we were tape cassettes,
And all the people we've been being all but start to rewind,
Replaying all the things that we did with our time,
It's an end and a beginning and an in between,
And now we're finally spliced together like you always dreamed.
If tragedy's what you want,
I know a pretty good place to start,
Someday they'll call it art
If tragedy's what you want,
I know a pretty good place to start,
Someday they'll mark this spot

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,

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
