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.
Well I've Been Let Down By The Words You Said You
Broke The Promises That We Ever Made In Our Lives
And Could I Ask You Now Just What You Feel Where
Did I Go Wrong And Why Can I Never Make It Up To
You
But You've Got Yourself, Your Friends You Got What
You Need So Why Pretend You'll Take What We Had,
Throw It All Away You Say You're Grown Up, You Need
A Change
After All You Said To Me I Promised You That I'd
Never Leave You Took What We Had, Threw It All Away
And I Can't Change It But
I Cannot Be The One That Follows You, I Won't Stand
In Line I'm Gonna Leave You Far Behind Now But You're
All I Ever Wanted So How Can I Give Up On You And
The Things That We've Been Through
So Glad You're Happy Now You're Free With The Things
You Took Away From Me Falling Down Seemed So Hard
From Up There Sit Back And Watch Me As I Bleed Any
Feelings, I Won't Let Breathe Try And Tell Me That
It's Wrong But You Don't Know That
I Lost My Head Again, My World Is Fucked It's Broken
I Know I Can't Think Straight, Once Again Time It's
Too Late Well I Know That You're Leaving, I Guess You
Found Your Reasons Please Know That I Need This Thing
I Call My Identity
Broke The Promises That We Ever Made In Our Lives
And Could I Ask You Now Just What You Feel Where
Did I Go Wrong And Why Can I Never Make It Up To
You
But You've Got Yourself, Your Friends You Got What
You Need So Why Pretend You'll Take What We Had,
Throw It All Away You Say You're Grown Up, You Need
A Change
After All You Said To Me I Promised You That I'd
Never Leave You Took What We Had, Threw It All Away
And I Can't Change It But
I Cannot Be The One That Follows You, I Won't Stand
In Line I'm Gonna Leave You Far Behind Now But You're
All I Ever Wanted So How Can I Give Up On You And
The Things That We've Been Through
So Glad You're Happy Now You're Free With The Things
You Took Away From Me Falling Down Seemed So Hard
From Up There Sit Back And Watch Me As I Bleed Any
Feelings, I Won't Let Breathe Try And Tell Me That
It's Wrong But You Don't Know That
I Lost My Head Again, My World Is Fucked It's Broken
I Know I Can't Think Straight, Once Again Time It's
Too Late Well I Know That You're Leaving, I Guess You
Found Your Reasons Please Know That I Need This Thing
I Call My Identity

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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,

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
