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.
Hay una que no puede parar
De hablar de caviar
Y él solo piensa en comer
Su fruta prohibida
Mi majestad se ha perdido
Entre una multitud
Mojando la alfombra
Con sus sueños de vivas
Picnic en el 4B
Es una cuestión de voltaje
Picnic en el 4B
Ya me acostumbraste
Golpean la puerta
Por décima vez
Es que falta alguien por venir
Cuando me suda esa cara de gas
Y me baje el alcohol
Entre el alud podre asomar mi nariz
Y salir a la calle
Picnic en el 4B
Es una cuestión de voltaje
Picnic en el 4B
Ya me acostumbraste
Prefiero vagar sin sentido
A empapelar mi habitación
Creí cambiar aquel sonido
Y aquí estoy
Bailando esta maldita canción
Esta no es mi noche
Picnic
En el 4B
Picnic
Ya me acostumbraste
Picnic en el 4B
Es una cuestión de voltaje
Uh, picnic
En el 4B, picnic, picnic
De hablar de caviar
Y él solo piensa en comer
Su fruta prohibida
Mi majestad se ha perdido
Entre una multitud
Mojando la alfombra
Con sus sueños de vivas
Picnic en el 4B
Es una cuestión de voltaje
Picnic en el 4B
Ya me acostumbraste
Golpean la puerta
Por décima vez
Es que falta alguien por venir
Cuando me suda esa cara de gas
Y me baje el alcohol
Entre el alud podre asomar mi nariz
Y salir a la calle
Picnic en el 4B
Es una cuestión de voltaje
Picnic en el 4B
Ya me acostumbraste
Prefiero vagar sin sentido
A empapelar mi habitación
Creí cambiar aquel sonido
Y aquí estoy
Bailando esta maldita canción
Esta no es mi noche
Picnic
En el 4B
Picnic
Ya me acostumbraste
Picnic en el 4B
Es una cuestión de voltaje
Uh, picnic
En el 4B, picnic, picnic

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 is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
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.
Es muy buena canción, aunque el sentido de ésta , no me acaba de quedar claro del todo, pienso que es sobre una relación un tanto dispareja, lo de picnic en el 4b , es una cuestión de voltaje, creo que sobre una situación que los mantiene juntos.
