This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I know, I know, I know it's over
Upon the platform inside the slaughter-house
Just slip away from murder
Over
In the night, a mystery should unfold
Where I wish for waking up unaware
But it's not unclear at all
Underlined in red on your jacket sleeve
Were the curse, blank as a toothache
But it's not unclear at all
I know, oh oh
Oh oh
I know, I know, I know it's over
Your final descent, ick ick ick ick
Mixing pills and gas with incest
On the plane over
Folded up the last year of your life
Every play you tried to write in school
Venice is the right place to kill yourself
Like a cricket blob in the Cactus Club
Pass away and chirping in my ear
Upon the platform inside the slaughter-house
Just slip away from murder
Over
In the night, a mystery should unfold
Where I wish for waking up unaware
But it's not unclear at all
Underlined in red on your jacket sleeve
Were the curse, blank as a toothache
But it's not unclear at all
I know, oh oh
Oh oh
I know, I know, I know it's over
Your final descent, ick ick ick ick
Mixing pills and gas with incest
On the plane over
Folded up the last year of your life
Every play you tried to write in school
Venice is the right place to kill yourself
Like a cricket blob in the Cactus Club
Pass away and chirping in my ear

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.
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
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.
the whole song is a reference to 'i know it's over' by the smiths there's obviously more too it but that's the most obvious bit of understanding
I can't believe more people didn't comment this
It's one of the best and most emotional xiu xiu songs out there, up to par w/ Apistat Commander
i
love it.
i love this song. it almost seems like someone is feeling relief after a person commits suicide. i'm not exactly sure but just a thought.
I adore this song, but I always thought he was saying "How do you know? oh oh" I guess now it makes more sense though.

"in the night a mystery should unfold where i wish for waking up unaware but it’s not unclear at all"
to me that seems like it's about someone who wants to get raped in the middle of the night.

Wow BigNothing, that's one of the stupidest things I've read all day. And I've already been on the internet for a few hours! Congrats.
