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.
There's something I want to say
Don't want it locked up inside forever
This feeling won't go away
Don't want to live in the never-never
And so I've written these words
For all the world to see
What is it that you're scared of?
Is it you?
Or is it me?
And you make me feel like I'm falling apart
And I'm losing control of my mind and my heart
So am I wasting my time?
Is there a chance you could really want me?
So baby, give me a sign
If you don't want me, I've got to know
And so I've written these words
For all the world to see
What is it that you're scared of?
Is it you?
Or is it me?
And you make me feel like I'm falling apart
And I'm losing control of my mind and my heart
You could hold me in your arms 'til the break of dawn
Cause I'm losing control of my mind and my heart
And you make me feel like I'm falling apart
And I'm losing control of my mind and my heart
You could hold me in your arms 'til the break of dawn
Cause I'm losing control of my mind and my heart
Of my mind, and my heart
Of my mind, and my heart
Don't want it locked up inside forever
This feeling won't go away
Don't want to live in the never-never
And so I've written these words
For all the world to see
What is it that you're scared of?
Is it you?
Or is it me?
And you make me feel like I'm falling apart
And I'm losing control of my mind and my heart
So am I wasting my time?
Is there a chance you could really want me?
So baby, give me a sign
If you don't want me, I've got to know
And so I've written these words
For all the world to see
What is it that you're scared of?
Is it you?
Or is it me?
And you make me feel like I'm falling apart
And I'm losing control of my mind and my heart
You could hold me in your arms 'til the break of dawn
Cause I'm losing control of my mind and my heart
And you make me feel like I'm falling apart
And I'm losing control of my mind and my heart
You could hold me in your arms 'til the break of dawn
Cause I'm losing control of my mind and my heart
Of my mind, and my heart
Of my mind, and my heart

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,
