This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Move to the drum of the danse macabre
And come willing to me
Coin in mouth
Give me your so pretty cadaver
Accept this
The cold kiss of death
Closer, closer, in this lover's embrace
Warm breath touches sallow skin
I feel you quicken to the thrill of the chase
And soon I know that you will be mine
Feel my eyes burn within
Sense the pleasure of hinted sin
Hear my desperate cries for bliss
Taste the coldness of my kiss
Tighter, clasped in sweet caress
Far better this than aged attrition
At least I will hear your crimes confessed
Rather than silence from godly petition
Fainter grow this world's concerns
Fading, the ichor flows between us
Fuelling the lethal passion as it burns
The terpsichore of dancefloor lust
Feel my eyes burn within
Sense the pleasure of hinted sin
Hear my desperate cries for bliss
Taste the coldness of my kiss
My beautiful sustenance, do not weep
All must die somewhere down the line
And I must bleed you for my life to keep
Know your youth's untouched by time
This is an honour I bestow on few
As Death's servant taking is no crime
Admit that fate has caught up with you
And now I claim you as rightfully mine

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”

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,

“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.
