with miles to drive
on a cerebral highway
where it leads our hearts to
that empire where all unfolds

we drag our knees
through these badlands
and we hurt ourselves
just to feel anything

in the mecca of us
we all glow forever

with cobwebbed eyes
an affair with the puppets
you've seemed to have forgotten
and now you sleep with the rats all alone

i held you so warm
like a brother
a part of you in a part of me so spoiled
i cut you off like a cancer

in the mecca of us
we all glow forever

its simple
how you complete my core
so potent in your eyes
to move mountains
to burn skies

we've broken
our arms and throats
for our portraits
demons or not
it doesn't make a difference to me
im so tired of screaming

in the mecca of us
we all glow forever

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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,
