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.
some people seem to have it all
some people always have to crawl
some people pay to be abused
some people end up destitute
some people search their souls for truth
some people try to be of use
some people pray before they kill
some people kill just for the thrill
some people follow one man's vision, some others die on television
some people build their homes on sand, some people live in garbage cans
some people think that live is dear, some people hope the end is near
some people fight for right to life, some people hate to stay alive
some people dream of life on mars, some people end their life in cars
some people throw their lives away, some others go on holidays
some people live and love in vain, some people don't and go insane
some people always need to win, some other people love to sin
some people breaking all their vows, some people slashing sacred cows
some people like to worship stars, some people think the world's a farce
some people try to make ends meet, some others end up kissing feet
some people find their holy grail, some other people go to hell
some people never catch their breath, some people drink themselves to death
some people seem to have it all, some people always have to crawl
some people pay to be abused, some people end up destitute
some people search their souls for truth
some people try to be of use
some people
some people always have to crawl
some people pay to be abused

some people build their homes on sand, some people live in garbage cans
some people think that live is dear, some people hope the end is near
some people fight for right to life, some people hate to stay alive
some people dream of life on mars, some people end their life in cars

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Midnight

“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms.
“Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
