This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
The music begins and the titles fade in, starrin' you and me
The hero is struggling to say that his lady is far away
In her prison of wishes
We love and we fight but it's all day for night just a masquerade
We'll read till the red light is off then we go take our faces off
Like two clowns in a side show
Love is like two dreamers dreamin' the exact same dream
Just another Technicolor romance on the screen
Love is like two dreamers dreamin' the exact same dream
Just another Technicolor romance on the screen
I keep you in frame and I whisper your name till the picture fades
The feeling is already gone, I don't know why I'm going on
Can't remember the ending
The hero is struggling to say that his lady is far away
In her prison of wishes
We love and we fight but it's all day for night just a masquerade
We'll read till the red light is off then we go take our faces off
Like two clowns in a side show
Love is like two dreamers dreamin' the exact same dream
Just another Technicolor romance on the screen
Love is like two dreamers dreamin' the exact same dream
Just another Technicolor romance on the screen
I keep you in frame and I whisper your name till the picture fades
The feeling is already gone, I don't know why I'm going on
Can't remember the ending

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.
Amazing
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.
The song uses film making as a metaphor for the relationship between the singer and his girlfriend. Clearly the relationship is in trouble and probably over, yet he is not able to completely accept this.
For those of you who may not be familiar with them, here are definitions of some of the terms used and their possible meaning in the song.
"Day for night" (also known as la nuit américaine, American night) is a film techniques used to simulate a night scene when in fact it is broad daylight. Here it means fake, not the real thing. "masquerade" and "take our faces off", reinforce this.
BTW, "Day for Night" or "La nuit américaine" is also a film made by François Truffaut. Well worth watching. It is his take on what creating a film is like, similar to Fellini's "8 1/2".
"Red light is off": there is a red light on the camera to let the actors know that they are being filmed. Same thing is done on TV cameras. I am not sure what he means here. Almost certainly it means acting versus reality, but he says "We're real 'till the red light is off". Is he being sarcastic? You can't use quotes in singing, but maybe he means "We're "real".
"In frame": the actor is visible on screen, i.e. is not off screen. So the focus in on the actor(s) who are in frame. Here, I think he is saying that she is always on his mind even though "the feeling is already gone". "Can't remember the ending" may mean he doesn't remember what it was that brought them to this point. Or it may mean that he can't believe that the relationship has actually ended.
The bridge "Love is like..." offers the observation that "love", or rather, being "in love", is not real either. I happen to agree with this. I regard it as a form of insanity, a form of folie à deux, where the couple who are in love ignore the bad points of the other, exaggerates the virtues, and is in denial of the real problems that the relationship faces, and the probability that they will be overcome (cf. Romeo and Juliet).
Like a dream or a movie, it will eventually come to an end. IMO, it is an illusion created by abnormal neuro-chemistry. For example, bi-polars are particularly subject to "falling in love" with inappropriate people when they are hypo-manic.
When your brain gets back to normal, the illusion fades and dies. An example of the irrationality of being in love is the belief that "love conquers all", something particularly believed by teenagers ;-), once again, cf. Romeo and Juliet.
@rwhaller42 Complete agreement. I think your look perfectly reveals the meaning of this song.<br /> P.S.If you find it difficult to focus on school,you can help modafinilxl.com/how-modvigil-works-how-to-use/ .
