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.
1,2,3,4, Celice, it's in the way you hurt me
Celice I know that I'm alive
Open up inside, make me want you
Make me want to wrap yourself around me
Hold me tighter, hold me tight as only you can
Celice, it's in the way you hurt me
Celice, you sharpened up my senses
I know you're on my side
Celice, its in the way you teach me
Celice, to chase the thoughts away
You open up my eyes, made me want you
Made me want to, you know it feels so nice
hold me tight now
hold me tight as can be
Celice, it's in the way you hurt me
Celice, its in the way you hurt me (Oh hold me tightly)
Celice, I know that I'm alive (hold me hold me tightly)
Celice, you sharpened all my senses
I know you're on my side
Celice I know that I'm alive
Open up inside, make me want you
Make me want to wrap yourself around me
Hold me tighter, hold me tight as only you can
Celice, it's in the way you hurt me
Celice, you sharpened up my senses
I know you're on my side
Celice, its in the way you teach me
Celice, to chase the thoughts away
You open up my eyes, made me want you
Made me want to, you know it feels so nice
hold me tight now
hold me tight as can be
Celice, it's in the way you hurt me
Celice, its in the way you hurt me (Oh hold me tightly)
Celice, I know that I'm alive (hold me hold me tightly)
Celice, you sharpened all my senses
I know you're on my side

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,
