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”
well this life ain't so simple babe
when your playing alone
and this demons intentions
are to chase you with a lonley parade
so I'll try to make this simple babe
cause your light could burn out
once you have some conception
of what consists of a lonely parade
what's that you say?
oh it's the devil on stilts
a man with a temper
with a vengeance he kills
a snake full of venom
that you just can't resist
do you think you'll work out?
well your friends ain't so friendly babe
put a lock on your cage
and you're tourin' with peril
a tall handsome rebel
with a dangerous smile
and they'll hand you some evil babe
they'll say give this a try
and you'll jump on the wagon
with a rusty old dragon in this lonley parade
what's that you say?
oh it's the devil on stilts
a man with a temper
with a vengeance he kills
a snake full of venom
that you just can't resist
and just hold on
a girl swingin' around
with a blade that don't miss
an archer with arrows
that sting like a kiss
a clown that'll haunt you
put a knife in your back
do you think you'll work out?
well I know what you're thinkin'
your blood doesn't lie
you're tellin' yourself
this will be the last time
but this old dusty mirror
is callin' your name
who's in control now
is it you my darlin'?
oh it's the devil on stilts
a man with a temper
with a vengeance he kills
a snake full of venom
that you just can't resist
and just hold on
a girl swingin' around
with a blade that don't miss
an archer with arrows
that sting like a kiss
a clown that'll haunt you
put a knife in your back
I don't think you'll work out
oh....
when your playing alone
and this demons intentions
are to chase you with a lonley parade
so I'll try to make this simple babe
cause your light could burn out
once you have some conception
of what consists of a lonely parade
what's that you say?
oh it's the devil on stilts
a man with a temper
with a vengeance he kills
a snake full of venom
that you just can't resist
do you think you'll work out?
well your friends ain't so friendly babe
put a lock on your cage
and you're tourin' with peril
a tall handsome rebel
with a dangerous smile
and they'll hand you some evil babe
they'll say give this a try
and you'll jump on the wagon
with a rusty old dragon in this lonley parade
what's that you say?
oh it's the devil on stilts
a man with a temper
with a vengeance he kills
a snake full of venom
that you just can't resist
and just hold on

I don't think you'll work out
oh....

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.

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 song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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.
