This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
You take the makeup
Off your eyes
I've got to see you
Hear your sacred sighs
Before the break up
Comes the silence
I'm talking to you
You say you're over it
But I know
I thought I knew you
You thought you knew me
But now that you do
It's not so easy now
That I know
You can cry, I won't go
You can scream I won't go
Every man that you know
Would have run at the word go
Little boys with their porno
Oh, I know they hurt you so
They don't know that we know
Never know what we know
And all your makeup
Just take it all off
I've got to find you
Before the line is lost
I know I hurt you
I won't deny it
When I reach for you
You say, I'm over it
But I know
You can cry I won't go
You can scream, I won't go
Every man that you know
Would have run at the word go
Little boys with their porno
Oh, I know they hurt you so
If I don't know what I know
It can be so little that we know
But the cup it overflows
Little boys with their porno
But this is their world
Where can we go?
Makes me feel like something's wrong with me
Makes me feel like something's wrong with me
Can you see me?
You can cry I won't go
You can scream, I won't go
Little boys with their porno
Little boys with their porno
Makes me feel like something's wrong
It's the only world we know
Yeah, something's wrong
Little boys with their porno
And boys they learn
Some selfish shit
Until the girl
Won't put up with it
On and on and on we go
I just have to know
I'm not over it
I'm not over it
You say love is real
Like a disease
Come on tell me please
I'm not over it
I'm not over it
Wait
Off your eyes
I've got to see you
Hear your sacred sighs
Before the break up
Comes the silence
I'm talking to you
You say you're over it
But I know
I thought I knew you
You thought you knew me
But now that you do
It's not so easy now
That I know
You can cry, I won't go
You can scream I won't go
Every man that you know
Would have run at the word go
Little boys with their porno
Oh, I know they hurt you so
They don't know that we know
Never know what we know
And all your makeup
Just take it all off
I've got to find you
Before the line is lost
I know I hurt you
I won't deny it
When I reach for you
You say, I'm over it
But I know
You can cry I won't go
You can scream, I won't go
Every man that you know
Would have run at the word go
Little boys with their porno
Oh, I know they hurt you so
If I don't know what I know
It can be so little that we know
But the cup it overflows
Little boys with their porno
But this is their world
Where can we go?
Makes me feel like something's wrong with me
Makes me feel like something's wrong with me
Can you see me?
You can cry I won't go
You can scream, I won't go
Little boys with their porno
Little boys with their porno
Makes me feel like something's wrong
It's the only world we know
Yeah, something's wrong
Little boys with their porno
And boys they learn
Some selfish shit
Until the girl
Won't put up with it
On and on and on we go
I just have to know
I'm not over it
I'm not over it
You say love is real
Like a disease
Come on tell me please
I'm not over it
I'm not over it
Wait

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”

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

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.
This song seems to be part of a theme on Reflektor: making a relationship last. Any loving relationship will be tested again and again, and will take hard work to make last. In Porno, Regine's character is trying to leave Win's character but he won't let her: "You say, I'm over it / But I know / You can cry I won't go / You can scream, I won't go" In the next song, Afterlife, the two are working to resolve their problems: "I've gotta know / Can we work it out? / Let's scream and shout 'till we work it out"
He sees her as a whole person, beautiful even underneath her makeup - which seems like a metaphorical shield she uses to protect herself from being vulnerable that he needs her to remove so he can get through to her ("And all your makeup / Just take it all off / I've got to find you"). She's trying to break up with him, but unlike all those other boys who "would have run at the word go" he's not letting her. He needs to get through to her and make her see it's still worth trying.
Some women love being sexual; it can be beautiful and empowering, as in this song where the woman has "sacred sighs." The problem comes when men expect women to behave like actresses in porn, who get off even when the man is being sexually selfish and putting in zero effort to make sure she's fulfilled. These "little boys" end up thinking that, like the sex they see in porn, relationships are easy and don't take any effort ("And boys they learn / Some selfish shit"). But they quickly find it doesn't work like that ("Until the girl / Won't put up with it"), and this is so overwhelming they just run away. And what else would they do? They've never been taught how to see women as sexual objects AND loved ones who they respect and want to be happy.
But Win's character does know how. "They don't know that we know / Never know what we know" He knows he can keep at it until he makes things right. He'll just keep reminding her of his love for her. "You say love is real... Come on tell me please / I'm not over it... Wait" Even in a world where Regine's character has been hurt by selfish boys, where Win's character feels out of place, where they don't know where there is a place for them, he knows he can make it work if he just tries.
@amandimal My interpretation was off, I really like yours.
