Hayalperest
Hayalperest
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.

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”

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,

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Well like nickbuddy said Avril is April in french, and i did a quick search on France history April 14 and it said April 14 1792 France declared war on Austria causing many revolutionary wars in the kingdom. Just thought i might add that.
I think liger411 hit the nail on the head with the date. That is the day that France declared war on Austria (Marie Antoinette's home country, whom she was married to a French dauphin to create a peace treaty with), and this begin the entire French revolution and cemented the fall of Marie Antoinette and her husband, King Louis. The common population of France blamed her and the king for their state of poverty and desperation, which had become so great that they felt they had to start a revolution. About a year later, she was beheaded. Assuming that Aphex Twin did indeed write this song for the Marie Antoinette soundtrack (as I assume the instrumentation is a nod to), I think this explains the title.
amazing.
Quite frankly a piece that makes me break down in tears or appreciate a melancholic moment.
This song has such a sad mood to it, yet the melody points to relief and almost an optimistic view on what could be to come. I love how well it antagonizes yet compliments the other half of the album's chaotic vibe.
i agree with cedstick and this is one of the best songs ive ever heard
A beautiful song that makes you stop in your tracks and reflect. My only complaint is that it is too short, wish it was at least 4 minutes long.
Avril 14th is french, which translates into April 14th. A significant event that happened on April 14th is the Titanic sinking, I think the song may be about that.
One of the best pieces of music written in recent history. It hurts my soul.
Also, referenced in Kanye's "Blame Game" on the album "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy".
