This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yo, Soundz, I hear you, man
Usher
Yeah, and this it right here
Queen B, yeah, yeah
I'm the king, y'all know that (Usher, baby)
She the queen, came right back
Listen to me, yeah, yeah (yeah)
(Oh, remix) yeah, man
Now, baby girl, there ain't nothin' more that I can say
You know by now, I want it more than anything
If I walk away and just let you leave
You'll be stuck in my head like a melody
I know you want it (yeah)
But I'm hesitating (why?)
You must be crazy, I got a man, you got a lady
I know we here together, so this must be something special
'Cause you could be anywhere you wanted
But you decided to be here with me
No coincidence, it was meant to be
Don't be shy, gon' let your boy get in
So you can tell all of your friends you was on the remix, like
In this club (oh), in this club
Ladies, can I put this love up on you one time?
If you ain't scared, say "What's up?"
In this club, in this club
They can keep watchin', I ain't stoppin'
Baby, I don't give up
In this club, in this club
Ladies, can I put this love up on you one time? (Yeah, yeah)
If you ain't scared say, "What's up?"
In this club, in this club (yeah, hey)
They can keep watchin'
Baby, I don't give a in this club
And baby, you know I'd be down
But we can't have all these people staring, standing around
This right here is only for your eyes to see
But you getting carried away, saying we can do it wherever
The way you touching me like no other
I'ma make you feel insane, oh
You're trying your hardest to make me give in
But I'ma be down to give you what you wantin' if you keep it up
I strongly doubt this velvet rope would hold me up
And I don't want security rollin' up on us (I got you)
I'm not hesitating, I just don't wanna rush
'Cause you could be anywhere you wanted
But you decided to be here with me
No coincidence, it was meant to be
Unless if I mess around, I let you get in
You gon' tell all of your friends you was on this remix, like
In this club, in this club (oh)
Fellas, can I put this love up on you one time?
If you ain't scared, say "What's up?"
In this club (in this club), in this club
They can keep watchin', I'm not stoppin'
Baby, I don't give up
In this club, in this club (I wanna make love)
Ladies, can I put this love up on you one time? (I wanna)
If you ain't scared, say "What's up?" (I wanna make love)
In this club, in this club (baby, put it on me, make love tonight)
They can keep watchin'
Baby, I don't give up in this club
Ahem, shawty want a thug
It started with a hug
And the rest went like this
I gave her neck a kissy-kiss
She gave my neck a kiss back
I said, we could do it like a stack
I mean we could do it like a G
On the couch in V.I.P
Shawty, we could get it on
I'm like, shout out to the DJ for playin' this song
Girl, we could act like two damn fools
Have everybody think we doin' a dance move
Call me, so I can make it juicy for ya
Meet me in the bathroom and you could be my secret lover, girl
And it started with a hug
But now we makin' love in this club
And we're not gonna stop just because
The people in the crowd are watching us
But we don't give a damn what they say
And this is the, the remix, baby
Come a little closer, let daddy put it on ya
Need you to know, what happens here, stays here
Well, I'm ready and willing
Mama's good to go, got you standing at attention
Keep it on the low
Ain't nobody watching, don't worry they can't see us
I know I got you hot, now let me in
You in the club or the car, wherever you are
Run and tell the DJ, run it back on replay
In this club, in this club
Fellas (ladies), can I put this love up on you one time?
If you ain't scared, say "What's up?"
In this club, in this club
They can keep watchin'
Baby, I don't give a (baby, I don't give a)

Hayalperest
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.

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,

“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.
um wasn't it a duet of sorts with 50? e_e geez, it's a good song, just as good as the original and they sound even better when they're mixed together.
