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.
So this is how it ends
Toxic and deliberate
She's blood red at the neck
Boiling off fingerprints
This hospital love is making death seem elegant
"Just don't breathe and we'll stop time"
She said...
"I got this delicate lisp
That speaks in tongues and upper lips"
Your silhouettes my favorite...
I'm not letting go of it...
She's got a leash that grips my teeth
That cleans the air I breathe and,
It's wrapped around this city...
You look so lovely running through my fingers
Running through my fingers
Where everything's always felt right
You look so lovely running through my fingers
Running through my fingers
Where everything's always felt right
So she glides off the bed
With unflinching relevance
And completely motionless...
You're so heavy, You're so warm
Just a pillow I;ve used a thousand times before
Wrapped in velvet
And Filled with thorns
I've got this weakening grop around her arms
Around her hips
Your silhouette's my favorite
I'm not letting go of it...
I'm not letting go of it...
She's got a leash that grips my teeth
That cleans the air I breathe and,
It's wrapped around this city...
You look so lovely running through my fingers
Running through my fingers
Where everything's always felt right
You look so lovely running through my fingers
Running through my fingers
Where everything's always felt right
And I will chase it
Grab it
Stake it
And rub until she fakes it
We all boom faster
And oncoming disaster
And I will let this hurt
You look so lovely running through my fingers
Running through my fingers
Where everything's always felt right
You look so lovely...
You look so lovely...
Toxic and deliberate
She's blood red at the neck
Boiling off fingerprints
This hospital love is making death seem elegant
"Just don't breathe and we'll stop time"
She said...
"I got this delicate lisp
That speaks in tongues and upper lips"
Your silhouettes my favorite...
I'm not letting go of it...
She's got a leash that grips my teeth
That cleans the air I breathe and,
It's wrapped around this city...
You look so lovely running through my fingers
Running through my fingers
Where everything's always felt right
You look so lovely running through my fingers
Running through my fingers
Where everything's always felt right
So she glides off the bed
With unflinching relevance
And completely motionless...
You're so heavy, You're so warm
Just a pillow I;ve used a thousand times before
Wrapped in velvet
And Filled with thorns
I've got this weakening grop around her arms
Around her hips
Your silhouette's my favorite
I'm not letting go of it...
I'm not letting go of it...
She's got a leash that grips my teeth
That cleans the air I breathe and,
It's wrapped around this city...
You look so lovely running through my fingers
Running through my fingers
Where everything's always felt right
You look so lovely running through my fingers
Running through my fingers
Where everything's always felt right
And I will chase it
Grab it
Stake it
And rub until she fakes it
We all boom faster
And oncoming disaster
And I will let this hurt
You look so lovely running through my fingers
Running through my fingers
Where everything's always felt right
You look so lovely...
You look so lovely...

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo

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,
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
