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.
Take your breath
I rob you of your life
Oh how I love to see you cry
I'm your nightmare in shinning armor
Bringing horror
Your screams can't penetrate my insecurities
My heart stopped beating
When you first said that you loved me
And now I hold you close to me
But I still don't feel a thing
You're so cold and blue
And now I must forget you
Some things are worth dying for
And baby that ain't me
I'm sorry that you couldn't escape
This curse of me
Tonight I hold you one more time
With the stench of formaldehyde
You're my darkest secret
And in my crawl space is where I'll keep it
Your hopes and dreams
Won't ever see the light of day
I took your beauty, your purity
And locked it all away
And now I hold you close to me
But I still don't feel a thing
You're so cold and blue
And now I must forget you
Some things are worth dying for
And baby that ain't me
I'm sorry that you couldn't escape
This curse of me
This curse of me
This curse
This curse of me
I rob you of your life
Oh how I love to see you cry
I'm your nightmare in shinning armor
Bringing horror
Your screams can't penetrate my insecurities
My heart stopped beating
When you first said that you loved me
And now I hold you close to me
But I still don't feel a thing
You're so cold and blue
And now I must forget you
Some things are worth dying for
And baby that ain't me
I'm sorry that you couldn't escape
This curse of me
Tonight I hold you one more time
With the stench of formaldehyde
You're my darkest secret
And in my crawl space is where I'll keep it
Your hopes and dreams
Won't ever see the light of day
I took your beauty, your purity
And locked it all away
And now I hold you close to me
But I still don't feel a thing
You're so cold and blue
And now I must forget you
Some things are worth dying for
And baby that ain't me
I'm sorry that you couldn't escape
This curse of me
This curse of me
This curse
This curse of me

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,
