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 tragic demonstration
Of brazen insubordination,
By indigenous insurgents,
Belligerents, degenerates.
Imagine my bewilderment at the conspicuous dismemberment
Of all that I had believed,
Of how we have all been deceived.
It was short, sharp, sudden, surprising.
Short, sharp, sudden…
It was unfathomable catastrophe.
There were things no one should ever see.
Arrests were made arbitrarily,
Evacuations made mandatory,
Indefinite detentions, unsolvable killings,
Weeks and weeks of agonizing raids,
Relentless, unexplained physical attacks,
Gout, goiters, plague, anthrax,
New and unconventional threats,
Simultaneously secretive and violent events.
Oh, what have they done?
But, there's no fun
To a draconian crackdown.
So, what will you do
When they come for you
In the draconian crackdown?
Yes sir, I say no sir and then…
Yes sir, I say no sir again.
Something’s wrong, oh very, very wrong here –
The chaotic nature of the soured atmosphere.
We have found ourselves participants in their nightmare.
I took the blame, the hatred and the certainty
I said “Now I declare the state of emergency
With immediate effect indefinitely.”
I lurked, I plotted
And I planned, from here –
A fearful, vicious secret no-man’s-land.
I lurked, I plotted
And I planned, from here –
A fearful, vicious secret no-man’s-land.
Oh, what have they done?
But, there's no fun
To a draconian crackdown. A
So, what will you do
When they come for you
In the draconian crackdown?
Oh, what will you do
When the draconian crackdown?
Spectacular suicide explosions
Our enemies are significantly weaker than a year ago
And their influence continues to wane
Of brazen insubordination,
By indigenous insurgents,
Belligerents, degenerates.
Imagine my bewilderment at the conspicuous dismemberment
Of all that I had believed,
Of how we have all been deceived.
It was short, sharp, sudden, surprising.
Short, sharp, sudden…
It was unfathomable catastrophe.

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”
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,
