Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

This for all my niggas that's in the struggle that's on the grind
All my niggas that ever had to hustle to get at a dollar, this for y'all man
Personality changed man,
The kid Cassidy, this for the hood
I'm a hustler, I'm a hustler homey
I got the product, narcotics for the customers homey
Feins open they be smoking like a muffler homey
niggas phony so I only got a couple of homies
If you a hustler I could, I could fuck wit you homey
You spend a couple of bucks I stay in touch with you homey
I get money I get 20 to K I got 20 strips all doin' 20 a day
I get cake from buds and haze I'm making dubs
they hating 'cause I'm on the grind like I'm making love
when cops got the block hot like Jamaican clubs
cop weight, wait for a drought and then make it flood
try to take my cake you gon' take a slug
But you can take my information if you taking drugs
cause I can sell raid to a bug
I'm a hustler I can sell salt to a slug
[Chorus: x2]

I'm married to the game, same bride just a new groom
I do more then just do tunes
cause my bills come in too soon, my son gon' be two soon
royalty checks come like once in a blue moon
but I'm getting my doe for doing shows
I made more money on the grind then on the road
that's why I stay fly and flying on hoes
car's are so cool, Aston no shoes
just a rubber band on my wrist, no jewels
I ain't got to prove I'm rich, I'm no fool
I know the rules I ain't got time for it
But a nigga will shine when it's time for it
and they will hate you deal with the real cake
and they on the corner from morning to real late
I deal weight and if you bastards doubt me
I'm a hustler ask about, ask about me
[Chorus: x2]
I'm a hustler, I'm a I'm a hustler homey (Yeah)
I'm a hustler, I'm a I'm a hustler homey (Yeah)
Yeah they made you got saved don't be spend the change
In fifth grade I was hustling my Genesis game
I was dumb young selling chew gum to my classmates
on the cash chase moving at a fast pace
never been a dummy never did what the dummies do
so I had a mill to burn before I turned 22
more money, more problem is true
'cause the more money I make the more problem for you
yeah I used dude voice props to the boy Sean
he made it a hot line I made a hot song
So stop drawing man you got to respect it
I'm the best Swizz got it perfected don't mess with
C-A-double S-I-D-Y cause I became the best when B-I-G died
the kid do it big like P-U-N
'Cause I'm nice P-A-C with the P-E-N
[Chorus: x2]
I'm a hustler, I'm a I'm a hustler homey (Yeah)
I'm a hustler, I'm a I'm a hustler homey (Yeah)
All my niggas that ever had to hustle to get at a dollar, this for y'all man

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,

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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
I didn't like hoe repetative it was at first, but it's grown on me :)
