This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Just a grunt in a bind in his homeland Taking orders from a very very bad man
Just yer average Dieter, Helmut, or a Bertrand I can waste him 'cause I never
Never shook his hand Killed by a hero, what are we supposed to do? just a
Loser with a girlfriend getting fat and participation in a very very bad plan
In a nation where the bastards are the unplanned we can waste it 'cause it's such
A teeny tiny hand Killed by procedure, what are we supposed to do
(And Cornelius says) Ape shall never kill ape I say wouldn't that be great?
But some apes, they just gotta go We kill the ones that we don't know Not a
Nobody, an actual American beaten silly by another Jody Foster fan Spend a
Fortune to debate the moral conflict and He's protected through it's obvious
He killed a man Killed by the system, what are we supposed to do?
Just yer average Dieter, Helmut, or a Bertrand I can waste him 'cause I never
Never shook his hand Killed by a hero, what are we supposed to do? just a
Loser with a girlfriend getting fat and participation in a very very bad plan
In a nation where the bastards are the unplanned we can waste it 'cause it's such
A teeny tiny hand Killed by procedure, what are we supposed to do
(And Cornelius says) Ape shall never kill ape I say wouldn't that be great?
But some apes, they just gotta go We kill the ones that we don't know Not a
Nobody, an actual American beaten silly by another Jody Foster fan Spend a
Fortune to debate the moral conflict and He's protected through it's obvious
He killed a man Killed by the system, what are we supposed to do?

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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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,

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Actually it is a pro-life song.
The line is from Planet of the Apes, where the main rule among those crazy apes is that they can't kill another ape, no matter what. The song makes me think of living under some sort of dictatorial rule (the first two lines). But the guy never said he agreed with the dictator, so he wouldn't be breaking any agreement by killing him. The dictator may have come to power after having much success as a soldier ("a hero"), maybe freeing the country, which would render it vulnerable to totalitarian rule. He is disappointed as he looks around him and beholds the fattened masses (or maybe himself) just sitting there going along with the dic because he's keeping them fed. There is some sort of "procedure" through which the dic pics people who don't go along with his plan, like loyalty tests and the like, so he can kill them and prevent a domino effect. The dictator says that his people shouldn't kill each other, but he kills the ones he doesn't like. This may be why the singer merely says his thoughts as opposed to acting on them. The last verse remains elusive, but it seems to fit with the rest of the song. And as the last line states, it's always the system getting us down.
Dieter, Helmut, or a Bertrand is a reference to "Brave New World" if i am nopt mistaken
I love this song. Makes a good point. Just like in war, abortion killings are caused by fear and the fact that you dont know the person
