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.
{Hook- Ciara& BowWow}
I ain't ever had nobody show me all the things that you done showed me
In that special way I feel when you hold me
We gon' always be together baby
Thats what you told me and
I believe it cuz I ain't never had
Nobody do me like you
[Bow Wow]
Now I done been with different kind of girls/ So I gotta seen them all
/But ain't none of them at all (like you)
And I done seen the best of the best
Baby, still I ain't impressed cuz
Ain't none of them at all (like you)
If you know how I feel when I chill
If I'm seen with a girl
Then she gotta be just (like you)
And baby thats the way I feel
And I ain't got no choice
But for me to keep it real
Cuz when we/ first got together
Starting hanging out you was/ skeptical at first
Had to figure out if
I was the kind of guy that
Would try to dog you out but
I ain't that kind of guy you try to make me out
You found out when you turned to my baby
I showed them other brothers
How to treat a lady
I let you drive when I ride that Mercedes
And I ain't trippin' or actin' shady
Cuz baby you know
{Chorus}
I ain't ever had nobody show me all the things
That you done showed me
In that special way I feel when you hold me
We gon' always be together baby
Thats what you told me and
I believe it cuz I ain't never had
Nobody do me like you
(Ciara)
And everytime I think about you I smile
When you ride, when you call, when you come around
Your love is amazing to me
I can't wait till I see you (I wanna be with you again)
And everytime your out on the road (I'll make a trip)
And whenever I'm doing a show (Don't you forget)
That I'm your main chick
Who got that game chick
One in the same chick
The one you can hang with
{Chorus}
I ain't ever had nobody show me all the things
That you done showed me
In that special way I feel when you hold me
We gon' always be together baby
Thats what you told me and
I believe it cuz I ain't never had
Nobody do me like you
[Bow Wow]
Ok we/ hit the mall, pop tags
Spend a few G's [Cheesin']
Hit the runway to a new season
It ain't nothing
Spoil the one I care for
Feel like I ain't doin' enough
That's when I share more
I give you this, give you that
What chu need love
You know I got it
Holla at me if you need love
And affection cuz I'll be your protection
Kind of hard job but I'll do till perfection
And you can tell that I ain't tryin' to let you go
I get with you when I can
So thats how I let you know
And you be trippin' cuz sometimes I gotta go
But chu the first one
I holla to right after my show
Hey now I was trippin' in a sense
I was tense but my body's loose around you
But I'ma do without you
I gotta get it together, say whateva
Cuz since I met you my life seems so better
{Chorus}
I ain't ever had nobody show me all the things
That you done showed me
In a special way I feel when you hold me
We gon' always be together baby
That is what you told and
I believe it cuz I ain't never had
Nobody do me like you{2X}
I ain't ever had nobody show me all the things that you done showed me
In that special way I feel when you hold me
We gon' always be together baby
Thats what you told me and
I believe it cuz I ain't never had
Nobody do me like you

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,

Wu-Tang Clan
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.
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
I love this song so much, its gorgeous, and really sweet.
"Starting hanging out you was/ skeptical at first Had to figure out if I was the kind of guy that Would try to dog you out but I ain't that kind of guy you try to make me out You found out when you turned to my baby I showed them other brothers How to treat a lady"
