This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Treated walls
Care for me
When crossings call out
One of three
Treated walls
Care for me
When crossings call out
One of three
Only child take good care
I wouldn't like you
Playing, falling there
Treated walls
Care for me
When crossings call out
One of three

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.
Again, this song is about being an only child, and perhaps James' resentment of that. Being an only child myself, I totally relate to this song in a way. I read "only child, take good care, I wouldn't like you playing, falling there" as perhaps his parents' protection of him and perhaps how he felt trapped as a child because of his parents being too overprotective of him. I see "treated walls" as a bubble of some sort, caging him in from other people and the dangers of the outside world. Who knows? Maybe I'm reading into this too much, but I just read Unluck as the fact that as an only child he's the only thing, so to speak, his parents have, so they'll do any thing to protect him from danger.
I cant shake the imagery of a hospital warden within this song, and a patient dialogue who is waiting on a organ donor of some sort. The title (which I think are really telling in James Blake songs) converts an adjective ('unlucky') to a noun (unluck), making the concept of having no luck perpetual and contained. The second line 'care for me' seems to me a plea from within the warden, because it is defined by the following lines - 'when crossings call out / one of three' which I see to be one donor out of three available (so in a sense he has limited chances). The second stanza seems to me the speaker addressing his 'only child' to take care when he is gone, and what to avoid; 'falling there.'
