This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I wear my heart on my strings
Abuse me so I'll have something to sing
Throw rotten fruit or throw a fit
Make me know you give a shit
Woody Guthrie rode a bunch of trains
From the Redwood Forest to the C.I.A.
But me I ride a big red Schwinn
Through polluted slush to college cushiness
They say he killed fascists with his songs
Well I'm happy just to kill eardrums
I'd rather kiss a breast than shake a fist
This machine kills time it don't kill fascists
But I know a radical
She's so politically minded
She got peace and anarchy symbols
Intervowen on the back of her leather jacket
She says "a violent overthrow of the old regime
Is the only solution"
But on her signs she always misspells revolution
And me I'm apathetic
Just because I don't buy it
I guess I'm just a youth for peace and quiet
I wear my heart out on my strings
But my words are birds with concrete wings
And you dismiss them for parrot mimicry
I split my atom and you laugh at me
So I beat my chest like the primate I am
And I fall into a fetal position
I'd rather cast off my clothes
Than cast a vote any day
I can't save free expression
By the next election anyway
And I'd rather kiss a breast than shake a fist
Or point my finger
This machine kills time
It don't kill fascists or folksingers
Abuse me so I'll have something to sing
Throw rotten fruit or throw a fit
Make me know you give a shit
Woody Guthrie rode a bunch of trains
From the Redwood Forest to the C.I.A.
But me I ride a big red Schwinn
Through polluted slush to college cushiness
They say he killed fascists with his songs
Well I'm happy just to kill eardrums
I'd rather kiss a breast than shake a fist
This machine kills time it don't kill fascists
But I know a radical
She's so politically minded
She got peace and anarchy symbols
Intervowen on the back of her leather jacket

Is the only solution"
But on her signs she always misspells revolution
And me I'm apathetic
Just because I don't buy it
I guess I'm just a youth for peace and quiet
I wear my heart out on my strings
But my words are birds with concrete wings
And you dismiss them for parrot mimicry
I split my atom and you laugh at me
So I beat my chest like the primate I am
And I fall into a fetal position

And I'd rather kiss a breast than shake a fist
Or point my finger
This machine kills time
It don't kill fascists or folksingers

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”
