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”
We shall live again, we shall live
What is it children, that falls from the sky? (again)
Tayi, taya, tayi, aye ya
Manna from Heaven, from most high
Food from the Father, tayi, taya
We shall live again, we shall live again (we shall live again)
Check out the greed (we shall live)
Peace to your brother, give and take heed
Tayi, taya, it left two feet
One foot extended, snake to the ground
Wave of the Earth, one turn around
We shall live again, we shall live again (we shall live again)
Shake out the grief, babe (we shall live)
Stretch out your arms now dip and sway
Fruit of thy bird, tayi, taya
Threw off your shoe, haul off the sow
Dust off the words that shake from the tale
We shall live again, we shall live again (we shall live again)
Check out the ghost dance (we shall live)
Here we are, Father, here, Holy Ghost
Bread of your bread, host of your host
We are the tears that fall from your eyes
Word of your word, cry of your cry
We shall live again, we shall live again (we shall live again)
(We shall live again)
What is it, Father, in your eye? (we shall live again)
What is this grave sign, eyes to cry (we shall live again)
Blood of my baby, well, just what I need (we shall live again)
What is it, hide me, way off the speed (we shall live again)
Oh, is it, Father, holy that night? (we shall live again)
What is it, Father, that moves to the right? (we shall live again)
What is it, Father, isn't it pain? (we shall live again)
What is it, Father, that shakes from your main? (we shall live again)
What is it, Father, supposed to be brave? (we shall live again)
A lot of questions, the right to live (we shall live again)
What is it, baby, I can do? (we shall live again)
Your mama loves you, I'm dying, too (we shall live again)
I won't forget you, never lie (we shall live again)
Always love you till I die (we shall live again)
What is it children, that falls from the sky? (again)
Tayi, taya, tayi, aye ya
Manna from Heaven, from most high
Food from the Father, tayi, taya
We shall live again, we shall live again (we shall live again)
Check out the greed (we shall live)
Peace to your brother, give and take heed
Tayi, taya, it left two feet
One foot extended, snake to the ground
Wave of the Earth, one turn around
We shall live again, we shall live again (we shall live again)
Shake out the grief, babe (we shall live)
Stretch out your arms now dip and sway
Fruit of thy bird, tayi, taya
Threw off your shoe, haul off the sow
Dust off the words that shake from the tale
We shall live again, we shall live again (we shall live again)
Check out the ghost dance (we shall live)
Here we are, Father, here, Holy Ghost
Bread of your bread, host of your host
We are the tears that fall from your eyes
Word of your word, cry of your cry
We shall live again, we shall live again (we shall live again)
(We shall live again)
What is it, Father, in your eye? (we shall live again)
What is this grave sign, eyes to cry (we shall live again)
Blood of my baby, well, just what I need (we shall live again)
What is it, hide me, way off the speed (we shall live again)
Oh, is it, Father, holy that night? (we shall live again)
What is it, Father, that moves to the right? (we shall live again)
What is it, Father, isn't it pain? (we shall live again)
What is it, Father, that shakes from your main? (we shall live again)
What is it, Father, supposed to be brave? (we shall live again)
A lot of questions, the right to live (we shall live again)
What is it, baby, I can do? (we shall live again)
Your mama loves you, I'm dying, too (we shall live again)
I won't forget you, never lie (we shall live again)
Always love you till I die (we shall live again)

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,

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
