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.
We all know the girls that I am talking about Well they are time bombs and they are ticking
and the only question's when they'll blow up
And they'll blow up, we know that without a doubt
cause they're those girls, yeah you know those girls that let their emotions get the best of them
And I've contrived some sort of a plan to help my fellow man
Let's get emotional girls to all wear mood rings
So we'll be tipped off to when they're ticked off
cause we'll know just what they're thinking...just what they're thinking
She's so pretty but she doesn't always act that way
Her mood's out swinging on the swing set almost everyday
She said to me that she's so happy its depressing
And all I said was someone get that girl a mood ring
If its drama you want then look no further
They're like the Real World, meets Boy Meets World, meets Days of our Lives
And it just kills me how they get away with murder
They're anger you then bat their eyes... those pretty eyes that watch you sympathize
And I've contrived some sort of a plan to help my fellow man
Let's get emotional girls to all wear mood rings
So we'll be tipped off to when they're ticked off
cause we'll know just what they're thinking...just what they're thinking
She's so pretty but she doesn't always act that way
Her mood's out swinging on the swing set almost everyday
She said to me that she's so stressed out that its soothing
And all I said was someone get that girl a mood ring
Cause when its black means watch your back because you're probably the last person in the world right now she wants to see
And when its blue it means that you should call her up immediately and ask her out because she'll most likely agree
And when its green it simply means that she is really stressed
And when its clear it means she's completely emotionless
And that's alright I must confess...
We all know the girls that I am talking about She liked you wednesday but now its friday and she has to wash her hair
And it just figures that we'll never figure them out
First she's Jekyll and then she's Hyde...
At least she makes a lovely pair
Mood ring, oh mood ring
Oh tell me will you bring
The key to unlock this mystery?
Of girls and their emotions,
play it back in slow motion
So i may understand the complex infrastructure known as the female mind...
(spoken)...ha... that was terrible...

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.

Ed Sheeran
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.
anyone ever play this song back in slow motion? lol
this song rox! Oh by the way guys, here's a tip: If you have an emotional girlfriend and she likes Reilent K, DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES think that it's a cute idea to buy her the cd with a mood ring taped to it. This did not happen to me (I would have laughed it off,) but a guy friend of mine did that to his girlfriend and wound up with an earful and a sore groin.
hmmmm.... Disproportionate Retribution anyone?
"She liked you Wednesday but now its Friday and she has to wash her hair"
I just realized something about this line the other day. It's kind of a reference to song in the musical South Pacific. One of the songs is called "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair." The lead female character is saying how she is going to forget the guy she was interested in by washing him out of her hair.
i luv this song, its go great! i bet all guys will agree with it, cuz i mean what guy doesn't want to understand a girls mind and know her thoughts.
Ahaha! This song is great! Thier best funny song yet in my oppinion.
i love this song! it completely makes sense, and its hysterical! and we do all know the girls he is talking about.... but we all have our days! :)
this song is sooooooooooooo true!! i wish my gf had one
Yeah, my best friend gets really frustrated with me sometimes...then I say "I need a mood ring" and we both feel better. :) This song helped me to laugh at myself and the crazy mood swings us girls go through.
haha, this song is about ME. I went and got a mood ring to make it easier on guys after I heard this song, but stupid claires stuff breaks easily
I think these guys are on to something here.......
