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.
The Shadow Cast Upon Me
Eyes Sewn Shut With The Wires
Life Bound By The Lies That Pierce My Skin
Heart As Cold As Winter
Although There Is No Season
In This Place Of Loneliness
I'm Drowning Every Day The Same
Locked At The Ankles Plotting My Escape
I've Tried So Hard To Remind Myself
Lifes Only What I See
I Thought I Lost The Meaning
But I Was Only Finding You
The Years Without The Freedom
Tortured By Words Of Reason
Convincing Those Around Me
That Life Consists Of Nothing
And Death The End Of All Things
You've Broken Through The Darkness
The Shadow Gone Forever
And Now I Live And Now there's Hope
Eyes Sewn Shut With The Wires
Life Bound By The Lies That Pierce My Skin
Heart As Cold As Winter
Although There Is No Season
In This Place Of Loneliness
I'm Drowning Every Day The Same
Locked At The Ankles Plotting My Escape
I've Tried So Hard To Remind Myself
Lifes Only What I See
I Thought I Lost The Meaning
But I Was Only Finding You
The Years Without The Freedom
Tortured By Words Of Reason
Convincing Those Around Me
That Life Consists Of Nothing
And Death The End Of All Things
You've Broken Through The Darkness
The Shadow Gone Forever
And Now I Live And Now there's Hope

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,

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.
Good band good song the meaning is that maybe he is talking about life with out god and how bad and lonley it is and everyday is the same and then he finds god and meaning
