This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Bought a home we bartered right
2 kids, 2 car delight
Posed pictures on the walls
Small talk in the bedroom halls
Can't make it home tonight
Go sleep but leave the light
I pretend to make a call
Loose talk in bedroom stalls
Oh, oh, oh is my only offer
Stifle copies of myself
Oh, oh, oh or someone else
My friends they all agree
Give in to our defeat
In secret we believe
We're nothing, nothing, nothing that we need
Oh, oh, oh is my only offer
Stifle copies of myself
Oh, oh, oh or someone else
I always wanted to be the face in front of me
Debating a life sucked out the energy
build up a wall made out of finer things
Piled it high so we could barely see it
Oh, oh, oh is my only offer
Stifle copies of myself
Oh, oh, oh is all I have to offer
2 kids, 2 car delight
Posed pictures on the walls
Small talk in the bedroom halls
Can't make it home tonight
Go sleep but leave the light
I pretend to make a call
Loose talk in bedroom stalls
Oh, oh, oh is my only offer
Stifle copies of myself
Oh, oh, oh or someone else
My friends they all agree
Give in to our defeat
In secret we believe
We're nothing, nothing, nothing that we need
Oh, oh, oh is my only offer
Stifle copies of myself
Oh, oh, oh or someone else
I always wanted to be the face in front of me
Debating a life sucked out the energy
build up a wall made out of finer things
Piled it high so we could barely see it
Oh, oh, oh is my only offer
Stifle copies of myself
Oh, oh, oh is all I have to offer

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.
Page

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I'd say it's aboout living life and being comfortable but not really happy. Pretending to live the perfect life, but having to sacrifice so much of yourselfs to do so. Losing who you really are, justified by material comforts.
But don't take my word for it...
