This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Trash and vaudeville
Tight dresses and painted faces
It's time to free the lions
From the circus cages
Jaded baby
Come whisper in my ear
Better come closer 'cause
The music is loud here
I'm the monkey that you've always been afraid of
I'm the spirit that haunts your dreams
Deep inside
Don't you have a little bit of sympathy
Don't you want to
Give me some affection
Why is it so hard
Don't you get tired
Same smilin' faces
Don't you get a little bit lonely
Hiding in crowded places
Don't trust the stranger
You should know better
But this heart of darkness
Can be your shelter
I ain't rich enough I really don't belong here
I don't want to meet your mommy and daddy
I ain't good lookin' but you get used to it like I did
Don't you want to
Give me some affection
Why is it so hard
Tight dresses and painted faces
It's time to free the lions
From the circus cages
Jaded baby
Come whisper in my ear
Better come closer 'cause
The music is loud here
I'm the monkey that you've always been afraid of
I'm the spirit that haunts your dreams
Deep inside
Don't you have a little bit of sympathy
Don't you want to
Give me some affection
Why is it so hard
Don't you get tired
Same smilin' faces
Don't you get a little bit lonely
Hiding in crowded places
Don't trust the stranger
You should know better
But this heart of darkness
Can be your shelter
I ain't rich enough I really don't belong here
I don't want to meet your mommy and daddy
I ain't good lookin' but you get used to it like I did
Don't you want to
Give me some affection
Why is it so hard

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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.

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.
