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.
(People singing)
bah dah bha bha bha bha bha
bha ba da da da bhum bha bha
(repeat 2X)
(Slim Kid Tre')
You see the moon has a with young idle eyes
and idle time is the playground
where old profesions lay down
like sweet sugar stays brown and on the mind
gals whose whispers blow through tender lips like wind chimes
they tingle quiet ears with seductive words that I lust
and enjoy, for y'all fly boys that look and not touch
it aint much but bet your dollars
cause they hollar
with out saying a thang
and she ain't saying no name
and I'm fond of het intent
Rock hard and she was skin flint
working on a flame
it seemed like every move she made was some good assed game
I had to keep my focus tame
cause it's a dumb dumb shame
to see them endless
and frendless
will us when the pride feels great
congnac watered down to its last tender state
and emeraled butterfly dissapears from the skies
it seems the moon can't fight the sunrise
CHORUS
feeling high, I'm the emerald butterfly (repeat 4X)
(Slim Kid Tre')
I was the mack of all time blowing their mind
in a world of fantasies when I'm casting my line
they would bite the bait and I would keep my ship sailing
on my crusading others would be out wating
in the water (water), more entising than the farmers daughter
as the imagination makes you wetter than her order
though sweated her so tough , so rough out here
see you cant jump into the mix unless you chose to lose a hair
more nocturnal than the knight itself the mysteries clear
smears of venom all of oil denim smoth as cashmere
stear in thoughts of feather beds and lightheadedness
abyss it gets deeper (you know) so be a light sleeper (sleeper)
the grief is like autumn rain (autumn) washing your needs away
now all this gold is what I need to say about glitter...
CHORUS (X2)

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,
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
