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.
You spend your time in the archives
Wondering what to do
That's where you hatch your devilish plots
Your evil through and through
And if I had my druthers
I'd punch you in the face
You must have no life
Being Hitler's wife
That's it I rest my case
Peanuts to you
Library nazi and all you do
Peanuts to you
One of these days we're going to run you through
You think you rule supreme
Over your computers and your books
But everybody despises you
'Cause of your attitude and bad looks
I wouldn't shed a tear
If you vanished without a trace
I'd love to hack off your arms with a chain saw
And bash your legs in with a mace
Peanuts to you
Library nazi and all you do
Peanuts to you
One of these days we're going to run you through
Peanuts to you
Library nazi and all you do
Peanuts to you
You fucking off is a dream come true
You told us to get over our friend Davy
You nasty witch
Too bad you're nothing
But a washed up nazi bitch
If bitterness was a marathon
You'd win the race
But lemoney-limey plays you
Like Mark Johnston plays his bass
One day we'll start a library cool
But until then peanuts to you
Nobody likes you
Everybody hates you
Nobody likes you
Everybody hates you
Nobody likes you
Everybody hates you
Peanuts to you
Library nazi and all you do
Peanuts to you
You fucking off is a dream come true
You spend your time in the archives
Wondering what to do
That's where you hatch your devilish plots
Your evil through and through
And if I had my druthers
I'd punch you in the face
You must have no life
Being Hitler's wife
That's it I rest my case
Wondering what to do
That's where you hatch your devilish plots
Your evil through and through
And if I had my druthers
I'd punch you in the face
You must have no life
Being Hitler's wife
That's it I rest my case
Peanuts to you
Library nazi and all you do
Peanuts to you
One of these days we're going to run you through
You think you rule supreme
Over your computers and your books
But everybody despises you
'Cause of your attitude and bad looks
I wouldn't shed a tear
If you vanished without a trace
I'd love to hack off your arms with a chain saw
And bash your legs in with a mace
Peanuts to you
Library nazi and all you do
Peanuts to you
One of these days we're going to run you through
Peanuts to you
Library nazi and all you do
Peanuts to you
You fucking off is a dream come true
You told us to get over our friend Davy
You nasty witch
Too bad you're nothing
But a washed up nazi bitch
If bitterness was a marathon
You'd win the race
But lemoney-limey plays you
Like Mark Johnston plays his bass
One day we'll start a library cool
But until then peanuts to you
Nobody likes you
Everybody hates you
Nobody likes you
Everybody hates you
Nobody likes you
Everybody hates you
Peanuts to you
Library nazi and all you do
Peanuts to you
You fucking off is a dream come true
You spend your time in the archives
Wondering what to do
That's where you hatch your devilish plots
Your evil through and through
And if I had my druthers
I'd punch you in the face
You must have no life
Being Hitler's wife
That's it I rest my case

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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” 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.
