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.
Where you at?
Where you at?
Where you at?
Baby, where you at?
Baby, where you at?
Baby, where you at?
Baby, where you at?
Every word I cut you down is playing in my head
Like a Scarface crime scene ain't no bringing it back
Those tears didn't mean much then, but now I know
Then you said you didn't feel it 'til the wind starts to get cold
Only, she's the woman like the car I replace it
No sleep, I wonder if she saw this bullet coming like this
Only words that I can hear in my ear is the gesture you gon' see the seeds
You planted in the fields
Baby, where you at?
When you sitting on my pillow case no more
Baby, where you at?
I just recognized I'm living life alone
Baby, where you at?
I just, I just wish you'd call me
Damn this phone
Baby, where you at?
Doc said I only had four weeks
My whole life just flashed before me
Oh, oh, oh (how foolish could I be)
Wild as can be
Never (never) fear be humble (humble)
Got me out to face my fate
May never have a choice again to be honest (honest)
With that one that was loyal to me
God really has his ways of taken you off that stage
Only, she's the woman like the car I replace her
No sleep, I wonder if she saw this bullet coming like this
Only, words that I can hear in my ear is the gesture you gon' see the seeds
You planted in the fields
Baby, where you at?
When you sitting on my pillow case no more
Baby, where you at? (Baby, where you at?)
I just recognized I'm living life alone (living all alone)
Baby, where you at?
I just, I just wish you'd call me (call me)
Damn this phone
Baby, where you at?
Doc said I only had four weeks (yeah)
My whole life just flashed before me (Papoose, Pa-poose)
They say you never know what you have until you lose it
You promise your girl something you better do it
You can't tell a woman you love her are you stupid?
Words don't express you love you gotta prove it
Back then our relationship was the truest
Grown man slow dance to Joe music
As the time went on I become foolish
Now your gone everything ruined
But girl this is Papoose I'm on your favorite track
I know your friends in your ear
But baby come back
And I never let you down so later for that
I told you I was gon' make it, I'm the savior of rap
And I work hard you don't got to cater to Pap
I tie my own do-rag
Lay back and relax
You don't even got to accept my apology
But I'm man enough to admit it acknowledge me
Oh-ooh, babe
If anyone up in here wasn't just like me
Oh-ooh, baby
Treat her like this wasn't last week
Won't you call babe? (won't you call?)
Knowo this song babe
Girl, you know this song, hope you're hearing me
Damn, I regret when I almost pass me
Baby, where you at?
When you sitting on my pillow case no more (pillow case no more)
Baby, where you at?
I just recognized I'm living life alone (living all alone)
Baby, where you at?
I just, I just wish you'd call me
Damn this phone
Baby, where you at?
Doc said I only had four weeks
My whole life just flashed before me
Where you at?
Where you at?
Baby, where you at?
Baby, where you at?

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.
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,
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
