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”
Its not like I made myself a list of new and different ways,
To murder your heart.
I'm just a painting that's still wet.
If you touch me Ill be smeared, you'll be stained,
Stained for the rest of your life.
So turn around and walk away
Before we confuse the way, we abuse each other.
If your not afraid of getting hurt
Then I am not afraid of how much I hurt you
I'm well aware I'm a danger to myself.
Are you aware I'm a danger to others?
There's a crack in my soul, you thought was a smile.
What ever doesn't kill you,
Is gonna leave a scar
What ever doesn't kill you,
Is gonna leave a scar
I'm more like a silver bullet
Than I'm like a gun,
I'm not easy to hold.
I'm moving fast and if I stay in your heart,
I'm certain that this will be the end of your life
So turn around walk away
Before we confuse the way we abuse each other
If your not afraid of getting hurt then I am not afraid
How much I hurt you
I'm well aware I'm a danger to myself
Are you aware I'm a danger to others?
To murder your heart.
I'm just a painting that's still wet.
If you touch me Ill be smeared, you'll be stained,
Stained for the rest of your life.
So turn around and walk away
Before we confuse the way, we abuse each other.
If your not afraid of getting hurt
Then I am not afraid of how much I hurt you
I'm well aware I'm a danger to myself.
Are you aware I'm a danger to others?
There's a crack in my soul, you thought was a smile.
What ever doesn't kill you,
Is gonna leave a scar
What ever doesn't kill you,
Is gonna leave a scar
I'm more like a silver bullet
Than I'm like a gun,
I'm not easy to hold.
I'm moving fast and if I stay in your heart,
I'm certain that this will be the end of your life
So turn around walk away
Before we confuse the way we abuse each other
If your not afraid of getting hurt then I am not afraid
How much I hurt you
I'm well aware I'm a danger to myself
Are you aware I'm a danger to others?

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
i think this song is about how if you make one bad decision it will haunt you for the rest of your life and you cant get rid of it and some how it will come back too bite you in butt
I read in an interview that this song is goes out to his ex-wife. This song contains everything he wish he could have said to her when they broke up.
GREAT SONG.
about shitty relationships.
I love it.
it's "i should warn you that you may fuck me"
The first song of the album that leaped into my mind and stuck. Fantast-a-fucking-ic! I'd put it next to The Speed of Pain, in my book. The song says more than I ever could.
the alt version on the 2nd disc (accoustic version) is unbeleivable
yeh superbeast's right. The alt version is great. I really like this song. alot.
Love this song, deff one of the best on the album. Just one thing, does any-one-else hear (during the opening beat) Rolling Stones - Get Your Rocks Off
love this new style of manson, its great
This song kind of seems to me like he feels he's almost tainted in a way..The way he talks about himself in the song.. "And I'm not afraid of how much I hurt you" "There's a crack in my soul You thought it was a smile" "If I stay inside your heart I'm certain that this will be the end of your life" "But chances are I'm gonna to fuck you over"
He could hurt her, and he knows he probably will, but goes ahead anyways, not caring about what he does to "murder her heart".
Sometimes I want to be this heartless. Instead of being on the other side.
