This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Forgive me father
I was 7 hours late, and now you're gone
But I made it next to you, as I promised
Dressed you for your last journey
I'm dead to you now, still holding the words that were left unsaid
Couldn't burden you with the sorrows that crushed my chest
Couldn't find the right time to share these words, why the days passed away
I'm dead to you now, and will be, until my own heart sees the fallen veil of night
Until the curtains open for me, to walk the same moonlit silver trail, I will always be 7 hours late
Carrying the pain of knowing, that you never knew
Why we both went through the days apart, but with the same shadows in our hearts
I can't ever tell you why I wasn't there, until they bury me in the same soil
Until we meet again, I will be 7 hours late
These rooms of shadows, echoes on these walls, this empire of loneliness
Still feeling the presence, your soul still lingering here for a while
And the dark that pours in through the night-side window
And the light that fades into the woods
Like firelights dancing between the rusted trees, the light that escaped from my side
Glowing in the woods, waving its last goodbye until its gone
And then it's dark
I was 7 hours late, and now you're gone
But I made it next to you, as I promised
Dressed you for your last journey
I'm dead to you now, still holding the words that were left unsaid
Couldn't burden you with the sorrows that crushed my chest
Couldn't find the right time to share these words, why the days passed away
I'm dead to you now, and will be, until my own heart sees the fallen veil of night
Until the curtains open for me, to walk the same moonlit silver trail, I will always be 7 hours late
Carrying the pain of knowing, that you never knew
Why we both went through the days apart, but with the same shadows in our hearts
I can't ever tell you why I wasn't there, until they bury me in the same soil
Until we meet again, I will be 7 hours late
These rooms of shadows, echoes on these walls, this empire of loneliness
Still feeling the presence, your soul still lingering here for a while
And the dark that pours in through the night-side window
And the light that fades into the woods
Like firelights dancing between the rusted trees, the light that escaped from my side
Glowing in the woods, waving its last goodbye until its gone
And then it's dark

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”

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,

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.
