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.
A plan to grow, a plan to hold
A plan for changing grays to an ocean
Ride out of town, believe me now.
Never questioned or conditioned
Can this body take the weight of me
Out of town believe me now
Old man telling me, â??Don't put your finger on itâ??
Old man telling me, â??you're the one to getâ?¦â??
Old man telling me, â??Don't put your finger on itâ??
Old man telling me, â??you're the one to get downâ?¦
To my free stare, please
These are friends we've left behind
For what? Jerk off. Their names are paperweights
Wash my mouth and leave me out
Worn to front to back to not impressed
Not even as I suggest
Wash my mouth and leave me out
Jump in just because you never know
Jump in just because you're on your own
Jump in just because you never know
Jump in just becauseâ?¦
One crept up on my back, still holding
One phone call in the black, still holding
One used me, sense attack, still holding
One cold hand on my backâ?¦too old.
A plan for changing grays to an ocean
Ride out of town, believe me now.
Never questioned or conditioned
Can this body take the weight of me
Out of town believe me now
Old man telling me, â??Don't put your finger on itâ??
Old man telling me, â??you're the one to getâ?¦â??
Old man telling me, â??Don't put your finger on itâ??
Old man telling me, â??you're the one to get downâ?¦
To my free stare, please
These are friends we've left behind
For what? Jerk off. Their names are paperweights
Wash my mouth and leave me out
Worn to front to back to not impressed
Not even as I suggest
Wash my mouth and leave me out
Jump in just because you never know
Jump in just because you're on your own
Jump in just because you never know
Jump in just becauseâ?¦
One crept up on my back, still holding
One phone call in the black, still holding
One used me, sense attack, still holding
One cold hand on my backâ?¦too old.

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.
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
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,
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
