In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
How can you act like you know
When all you know is to lie?
Another truth to expose,
Freedom will capture their eyes.
We find this truth
We fight. You lose.
Your time's up now.
That's enough now.
Shut up, get out!
Truth called you out.
I know this language of yours ,
I used to speak it so well.
A fire meant to be pure
Is now the fire of Hell.
It is written
Long before you.
Your time's up now.
That's enough now.
Shut up, get out!
Truth called you out.
I hear your claims,
And I know your name
I hear your claims,
And I know your name
Liar.
Liar.
Your time's up now.
That's enough now.
Shut up, get out!
Truth called you out.
Your time's up now.
That's enough now.
Shut up, get out!
Truth called you out.
When all you know is to lie?
Another truth to expose,
Freedom will capture their eyes.
We find this truth
We fight. You lose.
Your time's up now.
That's enough now.
Shut up, get out!
Truth called you out.
I know this language of yours ,
I used to speak it so well.
A fire meant to be pure
Is now the fire of Hell.
It is written
Long before you.
Your time's up now.
That's enough now.
Shut up, get out!
Truth called you out.
I hear your claims,
And I know your name
I hear your claims,
And I know your name
Liar.
Liar.
Your time's up now.
That's enough now.
Shut up, get out!
Truth called you out.
Your time's up now.
That's enough now.
Shut up, get out!
Truth called you 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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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.
I think maybe this song is about sin and Satan. The person is living their life in sin and not living for God. They are close with Satan and fulfilling his wants and needs. But finally, they realize the truth and love in God and are turning their back on Satan. "Shut up, get out. Truth called you out." God is the truth and he is telling Satan to get out of their life. Just my loose interpretation.
@autumnrome This song is about how your government is lying to you, and the public waking up and taking a stand against them.
I think the song is talking about antichrist I don't know
I agree with autumnrome. satan the king of liars uses lies to make people live for him. satan loses when the truth is revealed. And when Gods good news is made known.
"How can you act like you know 
When all you know is to lie? Another truth to expose, Freedom will capture their eyes." = Lacey is basically asking the people who believe FALSELY and WRONG that who are you to go "spread the word of God" when you are spreading the wrong information, God's grace and power will rise and show you what the true faith is.
"Your time’s up now. 
That’s enough now. Shut up, get out!
 Truth called you out." = That's enough lying, The Truth called you out, It's overpowering you. (We fight, you lose.)
"Liar, Liar." = Lacey saying that what you're saying isn't right.
From a non-Christian point of view; I believe this song is about overcoming the demons within yourself (anything from alcoholism, drugs, depression, eating disorders, etc.), and finally seeing the truth about who you are as a person and moving past the lies you've told yourself for so long. At least, that's the song's meaning to me.
This song is about our corrupt government, how they lie to us and keep us enslaved, and when we finally wake up to the the fact that 1% of the planet earning $40% of the planets wealth is wrong, that we are lied to about why we are at war, that we are brainwashed by the mainstream media, that our money is created out of thin air and only has value because we believe it does we can finally stand up as a whole and take our freedom back.
I personally think Lacey herself watched an obese man with a porn addiction attempt to cheat on his gf with someone weirdly younger than him, and Lacey was like “i GOTTA call that shit out”
