This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
You all know the fucking score
Everybody on the floor
Put your hands where I can see them
We're not playing around
One little move
And you're in the ground
We live on our own set of rules
Take everything and everyone down with you
We are a desperate kind
But this is a ruthless time
When I hit rock bottom
I go looking friends in the filthiest places
Yeah, yeah
I make ends meet cause I'm a bad bad man
When I hit rock bottom, the party has arrived
We won't be taken alive
We live on our own set of rules
Take everything and everyone down with you
We are a desperate kind
But this is a ruthless time
What if they just shut the lights out
So caught up in your digital world
What happens now?
What if they just shut the lights out
And all the city lights go black
What happens now?
What if they just shut the lights out
So caught up in your digital world
What happens now
Lights out
Lights out
You all know the fucking score
Everybody on the floor
Put your hands where I can see them
We're not fucking around
One little move
And you're in the ground
Lights out
Everybody on the floor
Put your hands where I can see them
We're not playing around
One little move
And you're in the ground
We live on our own set of rules
Take everything and everyone down with you
We are a desperate kind
But this is a ruthless time
When I hit rock bottom
I go looking friends in the filthiest places
Yeah, yeah
I make ends meet cause I'm a bad bad man
When I hit rock bottom, the party has arrived
We won't be taken alive
We live on our own set of rules
Take everything and everyone down with you
We are a desperate kind
But this is a ruthless time
What if they just shut the lights out
So caught up in your digital world
What happens now?
What if they just shut the lights out
And all the city lights go black
What happens now?
What if they just shut the lights out
So caught up in your digital world
What happens now
Lights out
Lights out
You all know the fucking score
Everybody on the floor
Put your hands where I can see them
We're not fucking around
One little move
And you're in the ground
Lights out

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
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
The song is about the corruption of governments and the recent bills to give the government power over the internet to censor and shut down websites that it disagrees with, along with the invasion of privacy that these bills entitle.
There music video for the song is pretty awesome as well channeling the "Anonymous Movement" signature Guy Fawkes masks. youtube.com/watch
Here we are, a little over a decade later, and sure enough, it's happened. We have government agencies overseeing social media platforms. Pick an acronym.
Thanks to Elon Musk and the "Twitter Files", what many suspected became fact, after the absolute suppression of Hunter Biden's Laptop 2 weeks prior to the Presidential Election. There's a list, and it goes on, but this is about the song.
The video is a great illustration. What is going on now isn't what they were ultimately trying to convey, but here we are. With the social media logos in government spaces (not literally of course - that we know of lol).
