This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
My mind's on rewind and quicksand (what)
I was up all night doing nothing (last night, again)
Do you want to stay in bed all day (yeah)
Do you remember feeling any other way (no)
Do you want to stay in bed all day (yeah)
Do you remember feeling any other way (no)
I must've been sleeping when you called
I'm not feeling well at all
I got this thing that's been going around
Called please pretend that I'm out of town, okay
Do you want to stay in bed all day (yeah)
Do you remember feeling any other way (no)
Do you want to stay in bed all day (yeah)
Do you remember feeling any other way (no)
I'll make some coffee, put on some eyeliner
I think I'll find that things are fine
And they're gonna get much finer
Do you want to stay in bed all day (yeah)
Do you remember feeling any other way (no)
Do you want to stay in bed all day (yeah)
Do you remember feeling any other way (no)
Hey look I'm really sorry
I couldn't make it to your party
I know it looks like I'm gonna cry
Got a to do list behind my eyes so
Go tell your friends I'm still a feminist
But I won't be coming to your benefit
I give up
I give up
I give up
I give up
I'll be at home today
I was up all night doing nothing (last night, again)

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,

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
I don't think it has anything to do with not doing anything, and therefore not supporting feminism, I think it's about how you 't always be there on the spot when people want you, because you have your own shit to deal with, and you sometimes have bad days, too.
I always thought it was about depression. Insomnia, fatigue, sadness, hopelessness, social isolation, and lack of interest in your passions are all symptoms of depression, and the way the song is sung is very subdued. It can't be about apathy towards feminism; tonnes of people are apathetic towards feminism without having to drag themselves out of bed. Plus, I'm pretty sure "won't be coming to your benefits" is actually "won't be coming to your benefit" -- referring to a specific benefit that's taking place soon, like how she missed a specific party.
I wanna stay in bed all day..hey, this is my theme song. I love le tigre.
My theme song as well. I pissed off some friends by making them listen to it and saying it was my song to them..oh well right
the remix to this song is really good. listen to it on a rainy day.
oops, I meant "wont always be there".
I agree, the remix is so good.
and I agree with bryce, it's not about apathy.
I read in an interview that it's supposed to be about people bitching behind Kathleen's back about her being a feminist, and how they saw it as doing nothing, hence the apathy angly.
Do you know what interview it was amberbreath? I wanna read it!
I thought this song was kind of ambiguous like the message confused me a little cuz it seemed apathetic to me as well. But what amberbreath said clarifies it more.
