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”
There's something in the water
Someone breathing your air now
It will all have to wait
It's quite important that we tie you down and keep you there
- chorus -
She's all gone, shunned by everyone
If you wait too long, they'll cater to your ego
I believe in your head
All the answers are wrong
she didn't count on the backlash rejection
Petty little juvenile crimes now
Tell me who you startin' to date little girl
A boy or the world
Maybe they dig pretention
Maybe you dig taboo, now
It'll all have to wait
Until we analyze the data when they're through with you
- chorus -
She's all gone, shunned by everyone
If you wait too long, they'll cater to your ego
Ms. know-it-all, it's hard to pick a side
Will they break your fall or assassinate your tour guide
I believe in your head
All the the tension is gone
- chorus -
She's all gone, shunned by everyone
If you wait too long, they'll cater to your ego
I believe in your head
All the answers are wrong
Someone breathing your air now
It will all have to wait
It's quite important that we tie you down and keep you there
- chorus -
She's all gone, shunned by everyone
If you wait too long, they'll cater to your ego
I believe in your head
All the answers are wrong
she didn't count on the backlash rejection
Petty little juvenile crimes now
Tell me who you startin' to date little girl
A boy or the world
Maybe they dig pretention
Maybe you dig taboo, now
It'll all have to wait
Until we analyze the data when they're through with you
- chorus -
She's all gone, shunned by everyone
If you wait too long, they'll cater to your ego
Ms. know-it-all, it's hard to pick a side
Will they break your fall or assassinate your tour guide
I believe in your head
All the the tension is gone
- chorus -
She's all gone, shunned by everyone
If you wait too long, they'll cater to your ego
I believe in your head
All the answers are wrong

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.

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,
Amazing

Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
