This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Day by day it smells worse in the cherry bowl
Look to the left now look to the right
What a shit hole. hey straight "a" student,
What did you learn in school?
Did they teach you how to use a shovel?
Another day you get on to pay your dues.
When you get ahead I've got news for you.
From the clay god made an honest man.
Me and you we've got a lump of shit.
So start digging. asleep at the wheel.
Me and god we're gonna strike a deal.
Stay with me you will never feel the
Same again. reach into me, you know
This game. start digging. you want to be
Free (just a little tipsy let's party!)
You fucking stupid piece of shit, snap
Out of it and start digging. you want to get
Through the pearly gates. you want to stay
Up late, you want to be cool, in the rolling
Stone or MTV. close you eyes and go to sleep. breathe deep. the clock keeps ticking.
Wake up, start digging.
Look to the left now look to the right
What a shit hole. hey straight "a" student,
What did you learn in school?
Did they teach you how to use a shovel?
Another day you get on to pay your dues.
When you get ahead I've got news for you.
From the clay god made an honest man.
Me and you we've got a lump of shit.
So start digging. asleep at the wheel.
Me and god we're gonna strike a deal.
Stay with me you will never feel the
Same again. reach into me, you know
This game. start digging. you want to be
Free (just a little tipsy let's party!)
You fucking stupid piece of shit, snap
Out of it and start digging. you want to get
Through the pearly gates. you want to stay
Up late, you want to be cool, in the rolling
Stone or MTV. close you eyes and go to sleep. breathe deep. the clock keeps ticking.
Wake up, start digging.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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,

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
