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.
Say it, say it
Say it, say it
Alone, you support, then embrace
Another reason to see
Success we unfold, clutching firm
That in me panics for sure
Say it, say it that it's done
I want, want it, need it done
Say it, say it that it's done
I want, want it, need it done
The lie, want to know, has it met
Expectations so far
Now run, make amends, feeling torn
Boy you better be sure
Say it, say it that it's done
I want, want it, need it done
Say it, say it that it's done
I want, want it, need it done
Still running
Never waking up, say it
Still running
Never waking up, say it
Still running
Never waking up, say it
Still running, still running, still running, still running
Say it, say it that it's done
I want, want it need it done
Say it, say it that it's done
I want, want it need it done
Say it, say it that it's done
I want, want it need it done
Say it, say it that it's done
I want, want it need it done
Say it, say it
Alone, you support, then embrace
Another reason to see
Success we unfold, clutching firm
That in me panics for sure
Say it, say it that it's done
I want, want it, need it done
Say it, say it that it's done
I want, want it, need it done
The lie, want to know, has it met
Expectations so far
Now run, make amends, feeling torn
Boy you better be sure
Say it, say it that it's done
I want, want it, need it done
Say it, say it that it's done
I want, want it, need it done
Still running
Never waking up, say it
Still running
Never waking up, say it
Still running
Never waking up, say it
Still running, still running, still running, still running
Say it, say it that it's done
I want, want it need it done
Say it, say it that it's done
I want, want it need it done
Say it, say it that it's done
I want, want it need it done
Say it, say it that it's done
I want, want it need it done

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,
Magical

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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
its about not giving up...i dunno what Pete's screaming
That's not Pete screaming- that's a comedian, Sam Kinison :)
