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.
It's funny how you think you really know yourself
Like you would never lose yourself to someone else
And I was up to thinking it was about you and me
Silly, silly me
I should have never listened to a word you said
But I was always giving into promises
I never should have gone for
I should have never longed for you no matter how hard it gets
And I want this to be over
I so want this to be through
In the end somehow it always comes back to you
[Chorus]
Cause everywhere I go
No matter what I do boy
I just can't get you out of my head
So it annoys me
He wasn't man enough
To come and tell me
That I was never the one
Like you said I was
You could have told someone
You knew that you didn't love
Me anymore
If you only told me how you really felt
I could've put my feelings into someone else
But I was busy thing that was where I was supposed to be
Silly, silly me
But there was something about you that I couldn't resist
Can't put my finger on it but whatever it is
I never should have stood for (stood for)
Should be another one for me
That's the way it is
And I want it to be over
I so want it to be through
In the end somehow it always comes back to you
[Chorus]
I tell myself
Get over you
It's so the right
Right thing to do
And just when I
Thought I was done
You pulled me in
For another run
I can't take this
I won't take this
I can't do this
I won't do it
Even if I know in the end somehow
It always comes back to you
[Chorus: x3]
Like you would never lose yourself to someone else
And I was up to thinking it was about you and me
Silly, silly me
I should have never listened to a word you said
But I was always giving into promises
I never should have gone for
I should have never longed for you no matter how hard it gets
And I want this to be over
I so want this to be through
In the end somehow it always comes back to you
[Chorus]
Cause everywhere I go
No matter what I do boy
I just can't get you out of my head
So it annoys me
He wasn't man enough
To come and tell me
That I was never the one
Like you said I was
You could have told someone
You knew that you didn't love
Me anymore
If you only told me how you really felt
I could've put my feelings into someone else
But I was busy thing that was where I was supposed to be
Silly, silly me
But there was something about you that I couldn't resist
Can't put my finger on it but whatever it is
I never should have stood for (stood for)
Should be another one for me
That's the way it is
And I want it to be over
I so want it to be through
In the end somehow it always comes back to you
[Chorus]
I tell myself
Get over you
It's so the right
Right thing to do
And just when I
Thought I was done
You pulled me in
For another run
I can't take this
I won't take this
I can't do this
I won't do it
Even if I know in the end somehow
It always comes back to you
[Chorus: x3]

Gentle Hour

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
I think this song is about being in a relationship with someone who played you the whole time/ messed with your emotions. You know its not a healthy relationship, you know all the crap this person is doing is wrong, but you still put up with it because you adore the person- you can't help falling in love with them even. In the end it all comes back to this one person...
