This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Just one more verse I swear
Just one more line to rhyme with the last one
I didn't really mean to write at all
And its all my fault
I'm wasting precious time
On words that never seem to get through to anybody else
Here alone I don't know what I want to say
When you're around I got a lot to write about
And words are lies
Convenience in disguise
Communication scratched down and over-analyzed
When its all your fault
I've broken everything
I own unable to spit out
While you're standing there waiting for me
Here alone I don't know what I want to say
When you're around I got a lot to think about
And words are lies
Convenience in disguise
And we'll never really let each other in
And we're all dead
Communications dead
And I'm no better than the worst I speak about
Give me sound
Some frequency in line
To you understand what you really want to say
Here alone I don't know what I want to say
But when you're down I got a lot to write about
And words are lies
Convenience in disguise
And we'll never really let each other in
Just one more line to rhyme with the last one
I didn't really mean to write at all
And its all my fault
I'm wasting precious time
On words that never seem to get through to anybody else
Here alone I don't know what I want to say
When you're around I got a lot to write about
And words are lies
Convenience in disguise
Communication scratched down and over-analyzed
When its all your fault
I've broken everything
I own unable to spit out
While you're standing there waiting for me
Here alone I don't know what I want to say
When you're around I got a lot to think about
And words are lies
Convenience in disguise
And we'll never really let each other in
And we're all dead
Communications dead
And I'm no better than the worst I speak about
Give me sound
Some frequency in line
To you understand what you really want to say
Here alone I don't know what I want to say
But when you're down I got a lot to write about
And words are lies
Convenience in disguise
And we'll never really let each other in

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.

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,

“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.

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.
I have to say the same thing, but the old one still is memorable :)
