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.
Could it be a new day?
Fear in me so deep
You push me out, I feel far
The absence, close to me
The other side I crawl
You push me out, I fall
Heal my wounds with everything
Away you complicate me
Sick of cycles, drop to zero
A while just like last times
My least favorite re-run
Sick of cycles, I bounce in gray
Escape familiar home
Memories remains alone
Reality trapped inside
The wicked descend
Testing higher mentality
I conquer myself through this
A furious path to walk
New space exists beyond
In silence I dwell displeased
Remain with the seed of unfulfillment
Heal my wounds with everything
Away you complicate me
Sick of cycles, drop to zero
A while just like last times
My least favorite re-run
Sick of cycles, I bounce in gray
Escape familiar home
Memories remains alone
Reality trapped inside
The wicked descend - I hide
Heal my wounds with everything
Away you complicate me
Sick of cycles, drop to zero
A while just like last times
My least favorite re-run
Sick of cycles, I bounce in gray
Escape familiar home
Memories remains alone
Reality trapped inside
The wicked descend - I hide
Escape familiar home
Memories remains alone
Reality trapped inside
The wicked descend - I hide
Fear in me so deep
You push me out, I feel far
The absence, close to me
The other side I crawl
You push me out, I fall
Heal my wounds with everything
Away you complicate me
Sick of cycles, drop to zero
A while just like last times
My least favorite re-run
Sick of cycles, I bounce in gray
Escape familiar home
Memories remains alone
Reality trapped inside
The wicked descend
Testing higher mentality
I conquer myself through this
A furious path to walk
New space exists beyond
In silence I dwell displeased
Remain with the seed of unfulfillment
Heal my wounds with everything
Away you complicate me
Sick of cycles, drop to zero
A while just like last times
My least favorite re-run
Sick of cycles, I bounce in gray
Escape familiar home
Memories remains alone
Reality trapped inside
The wicked descend - I hide
Heal my wounds with everything
Away you complicate me
Sick of cycles, drop to zero
A while just like last times
My least favorite re-run
Sick of cycles, I bounce in gray
Escape familiar home
Memories remains alone
Reality trapped inside
The wicked descend - I hide
Escape familiar home
Memories remains alone
Reality trapped inside
The wicked descend - I hide

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,
