songmeanings.net is a great site for ideas on what a song is about. Found this on Stadium Love:

This article is posted in Metric's Official Site. Emily explains the meaning of Stadium Love:
“I had just gotten back from Coachella, and I walked into the studio and noticed on the bulletin board that Joules had written ‘spider vs bat,’ i think he had been obsessively watching all these National Geographic animals-fighting-each-other-videos in his hotel room. For me, that phrase triggered an entire narrative that was about a gladiator-style enormo-dome where everything turns in on itself, with every form of aggression on display for spectators: monster trucks ramming into each other, bull fighting, sweaty men wrestling. And then you have these animals completely disconnected from the logic of their natural habitat, so you have a swan pecking the #### out of an elephant and pigs biting the necks out of tigers, and bats attacking spiders. And then in the seats, the spectators are kicking the #### out of each other too. There’s this completely blurred line between spectator and participant, and we’re all trapped in this ####ed up Noah’s Ark. The images came to me all at once, and I wrote the lyrics on the spot.”
