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.
Another day of talking
And I'm in two minds
I think I have to tell you
I finally realized
I know you'll never really get inside of me
But I don't mean to hurt you
Just let me disappear
We used to like it
Used to be
In the sunset time of our dream
For all these things we cannot change
We cannot be
We cannot stay
But if you lose your faith
Know that I am still your friend
And if the sky falls down
Know that I will still support you.
And I'm in two minds
I think I have to tell you
I finally realized
I know you'll never really get inside of me
But I don't mean to hurt you
Just let me disappear
We used to like it
Used to be
In the sunset time of our dream
For all these things we cannot change
We cannot be
We cannot stay
But if you lose your faith
Know that I am still your friend
And if the sky falls down
Know that I will still support you.

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
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.
An amazing song by an amazing band!
I think it's all down to how you interpret it - it means what you want it to mean. This is my interpretation...
He says 'I don't mean to hurt you', which suggests to me that 'I' and 'you' are close friends and care about each other. That's pretty much where my interpretation of the song comes from.
I think they are great friends and both have strong feelings for each other, and they both have known about it for some time...
'We used to like it Used to be In the sunset time of our dream'
But 'I' has realised that things won't work between them and feels like he needs to break contact and get away...
'I finally realised I know you'll never really get inside of me But I don't mean to hurt you Just let me disappear'
He realises this will hurt his friend because he will be leaving her life and they care a lot for each other, but he finds it too hard being around her while he still has feelings for her. Maybe it hurts him if he sees her with another guy and it's too much for him.
Personally, I think he's a muppet for wanting to throw away the friendship he has because of how he feels.
This song means something to me, probably different to the intended meaning.
Essentially i am caught in 2 minds. I have a certain philosophy on life, but I am scared of losing a girl I like unless I change because i don't know if she can really relate to me any more
i feel us drifting apart day by day....
Should I reach for the stars, or settle for a simpler life? Whatever the case i will be there for her.
He's speaking to himself...He's tired of conflicts within himself and wants to accept them as the reality...In the end he's sure that he'll be with himself whether he loses his faith or not, whatever happen he'll be there with himself!!!
I totally agree with what @rimastratocaster says. I think the song talks about dealing with two different ways of thinking in the same person, a type of personality that conceals and does not like, but can not stop needing it is not easy to change it.
strange,, it's the same way for me,,
And.. it
s maybe the true meaning, because its close to lot of people..One of the best songs for this great band. @Snakebitey you really get the right meaning. Excellent
It could about breaking contact with someone you love and/or care about because of our mental disorder. Possibly bipolar or schizophrenia.
