This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Now that we've run this road so many times
Tonight it will not take us home
Gonna go to that deep river
Where the water's moving slow
Feels like there's nothing to explain
(Nothing left to hear)
One more or less it's all the same
Now that it's feeling so much colder
(Coming back again)
Just be glad that it's all over
Now that we've closed our eyes so many times
Tonight I cannot see a thing
Gonna go to that deep river
Where the water's moving slow
Feels like there's nothing to explain
(Nothing left to hear)
And now you know just who to blame
For why you're feeling so much colder
(Coming back again)
Just be glad that it's all over
Gonna go to that deep river
Tonight it will not take us home
Gonna go to that deep river
Where the water's moving slow
Feels like there's nothing to explain
(Nothing left to hear)
One more or less it's all the same
Now that it's feeling so much colder
(Coming back again)
Just be glad that it's all over
Now that we've closed our eyes so many times
Tonight I cannot see a thing
Gonna go to that deep river
Where the water's moving slow
Feels like there's nothing to explain
(Nothing left to hear)
And now you know just who to blame
For why you're feeling so much colder
(Coming back again)
Just be glad that it's all over
Gonna go to that deep river

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,
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Blue

“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.
Page

Ed Sheeran
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.
How is it that these guys did not break through to mainstream?
They're so friggin amazing..
If you've heard this song, you know what I'm saying too, From the trippy intro to how everything slows down with the lyrics, the way Lanegan sings in his tired voice, .. these guys truly are amazing, I've always compared them to Nirvana meets the Grateful Dead..
i agree that the screaming trees are really amazing. this song reminds me of suicide...and it's effects on a relationship "Now that we've run this road so many times Tonight it will not take us home" i think this line is in reference to a repetitive event that finally pushes the narrator to the brink of his existence, to finally kill him, hence, the same path we've been down so many times will not take us to the place it usually does. "Gonna go to that deep river Where the water's moving slow" is a reference to the actual suicide, possibly a drowning or jumping off of a bridge...possibly a meaningful place for the narrator to die because it holds memories "Feels like there's nothing to explain nothing left to hear One more or less it's all the same" the lyrics posted are wrong here...it's nothing left to hear rather than nothing left hear. the narrator is saying to the other person that nothing he could make his decision easier to understand, so there is nothing left for that person to hear. and one more or less it's all the same...is the narrator's way of saying his death doesn't matter. one more or less person in the world, it doesn't change anything. "Now that it's feeling so much colder (Coming back again) Just be glad that it's all over" the first two lines can either be a reference to how cold the river is and it's moving tides (because rivers do rise and fall on their banks and they do have strong currents, like the undertow of the ocean). or it could be a reference to how the narrator/ his relationship already feels cold and dead. The last line, just be glad that it's all over, is the narrator saying just be glad that i'm gone, i won't be around to bother you anymore. "Now that we've closed our eyes so many times Tonight I cannot see a thing" perhaps a reference to some kind of mutual self-medication within the relationship...like saying, now that we've ignored our future for so long, i can't see having one. or it could be a reference to getting so fixated on his problems that he can only see them and is blind to anything good, he can't even see the possibility that something good will happen.
though, it might just be about a break from a dysfunctional relationship, and i complicated things.
