This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Soon as you came in
All the beasts went away
They noticed that you're warm
Wait until you leave
Then come back for more
The ropes hang to keep us all awake
And I should have known
As soon as you came in
The agony, it went away
I noticed what you wore
To everything
We spoke and more
The ropes hang to keep us all awake
And I should have known
It only takes one break of your pose to get off
To save our place, home with you
Still the same song
As soon as you came in
Is when I believe we both crashed course
The ropes hang to keep us all awake
And I should have known
It only takes one break of a pose to get off
And to save our place home with you all
That's all it takes
Well, I should have known
It's still the same song
It's still the same song
All the beasts went away
They noticed that you're warm
Wait until you leave
Then come back for more
The ropes hang to keep us all awake
And I should have known
As soon as you came in
The agony, it went away
I noticed what you wore
To everything
We spoke and more
The ropes hang to keep us all awake
And I should have known
It only takes one break of your pose to get off
To save our place, home with you
Still the same song
As soon as you came in
Is when I believe we both crashed course
The ropes hang to keep us all awake
And I should have known
It only takes one break of a pose to get off
And to save our place home with you all
That's all it takes
Well, I should have known
It's still the same song
It's still the same song

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.

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,

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.
ok, awsome song but the lyrics go all over the place. maybe it's cause i haven't gotten any in like, a month but i think this song is about sex. i think that the 'beasts' and 'agony' are troubles that the author is having to deal with, all of which melt away when his partner comes close. all 3 verses start with "as soon as you came in", so maybe chino is sitting around having to deal with different shit and as soon as his woman get home, there is more or less an understanding in most relationships that good sex can have a way of making everything better. the main gaveaway, i thought was line 7 "It only takes one break of your pose to get off", for some reason i can't shake this dirty senerio in my mind of a couple having sex and stopping right before climax so as to preserve the feelings and sensations of the build up. sothen they just lay there, unmoving and enjoying the rush of breaking the continous motions. then maybe one of them can't take the suspence any longer and delivers the "deathblow" which sends both (or just one) to the end.
i know this sounds kinda tripped out but if you think i'm bullshitting, next time you are "in the act", try it. just freeze a few moments before coming and try to hold it. i swear it will blow you away if you do it right.
I actually agree...<br /> also Chino has been known to have some 'kinky' lyrics, just look at MX and Digital Bath; I think that "the ropes hang" simply refers to BDSM, which is what a lot of people believe MX might be about, or simply masochism.<br /> <br /> I honestly can't say FOR CERTAIN the meaning of this one, but I fucking love it regardless.
