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.
""And all the time we've struggled for Without a reason or way out All the grounds we've based our fight on No one remembers anymore why And all the blame that has gone into To run in circles stand fast still And all the hatred we've poured into To fill the trench between us No more tears from me These rivers run dry No more fear in me This heart's stone inside And as the shadows give way to light Grow and thrive Every day must lose to night Fade and die And all the time we spent together United as one on the same side And despite the chink in the armour We fought a good fight we had our time And its a shame we let all precious Gather rust brittle and decay Shame we had to kill all the graceful To grasp what we really had there""

Little Feat
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”

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 song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
What Insomnium wrote in their booklet : I think I had this song pretty much finished already back in 2012. I first thought that this song could be too simple and "pop" for Insomnium. And a lot of people probably think that is. However, I found myself humming the melodies just too often to hide it in the drawer. To bring some heaviness into it I ended up adding a new verse to it later. Maybe because it was one of the first songs that came together I really got fed up with it at some point. However, when I heard the first mix it sounded again really good. And somehow, it fit right in the mix by being just that much different from the other tracks we have on this album. The lyrics behind the song deals with the fact that sometimes you end up learning things the hard way. But because life goes on, you just need to come to terms with everything. V. Friman
I think that this song tells that whatever has a beginning has an end, and so do the friendships.
Bought tears to me, xant review this song. It will loose its meaning if i do. But i know for sure, lyrics are an art a talent very few have mastered. And the melo in the band has really moved me. In tears i wrote this note. You guys shall remain my favourite because your songs talk to my heart and soul!
