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.
Don't wanna hear your voice
Don't really know if I have a choice
Don't wanna be the one that makes you forget
You're choking on the brain
You're choking again
Don't think we ever met
Don't think you offered up a god given name
Who did the talking, man the whip on the chain?
You've got pleasure from the seconds of pain
But then they get you with the burden of shame
The true measure if the one that remains
Don't wanna
Don't wanna be your pain
Don't wanna be your pain baby
Don't wanna be your pain
Don't wanna be your pain baby
Don't wanna be your pain
I live in a concrete cell,
No soul is dead until we create a ??? mind
She ? the exact time
She ?
And take the young boy's lip
She loves to see him crawl up the chamber wall
?
And with the eyes you covered
Like a ? hovered
?
And when they scream no more
She doesn't care for one more
Won't let you kill me just yet
Don't even care if there's a price on my head
Don't wanna wind up in a blood?
Don't wanna be your,
Don't wanna be your chain
Don't wanna be your chain baby
Don't wanna be your chain
I said, I don't, don't
I don't wanna be you chain
Don't really know if I have a choice
Don't wanna be the one that makes you forget
You're choking on the brain
You're choking again
Don't think we ever met
Don't think you offered up a god given name
Who did the talking, man the whip on the chain?
You've got pleasure from the seconds of pain
But then they get you with the burden of shame
The true measure if the one that remains
Don't wanna
Don't wanna be your pain
Don't wanna be your pain baby
Don't wanna be your pain
Don't wanna be your pain baby
Don't wanna be your pain
I live in a concrete cell,
No soul is dead until we create a ??? mind
She ? the exact time
She ?
And take the young boy's lip
She loves to see him crawl up the chamber wall
?
And with the eyes you covered
Like a ? hovered
?
And when they scream no more
She doesn't care for one more
Won't let you kill me just yet
Don't even care if there's a price on my head
Don't wanna wind up in a blood?
Don't wanna be your,
Don't wanna be your chain
Don't wanna be your chain baby
Don't wanna be your chain
I said, I don't, don't
I don't wanna be you chain

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,

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.
