This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I, tonight, I feel like being alone
If you don't mind, if you don't mind
Would you please be so kind
To close the door behind you
It's been a long, long time
Since I've had this line of doubt
Out loud
So I deny I feel like
I feel like, I feel, baby now
Everybody wants somebody
Who doesn't want them,
Or wants somebody else, baby
You want somebody?
Oh, you want someone?
Somebody else, somebody else
Listen up
Don't get hurt, don't you get hurt
Don't get hurt, don't you get
Don't get hurt, don't you get hurt
Don't get hurt, don't you get
A young man is a pull pin
Looking for a grenade, yeah
A young woman will drive you places
You never meant to go
But epiphany is such a cliche
Well, there's plenty of fish in the wrong sea
Like there's a premium on mystery again
Hold me, distract me
Dress me up in bubbles, baby
Save me from the troubles
Of my own skin, yeah
Everybody wants somebody
Who doesn't want them
Or wants somebody else, baby
You want somebody?
Oh, you want someone?
Somebody else, somebody else
Listen up
Don't get hurt, don't you get hurt
Don't get hurt, don't you get
Don't get hurt, don't you get hurt
Don't get hurt, don't you get
So I, tonight, I feel like
I feel like, I feel
Everybody wants somebody
Who doesn't want them
Or wants somebody else, baby
You want somebody?
Oh, you want someone?
Somebody else, somebody else
(Somebody, somebody)
Don't get hurt, don't you get hurt
Don't get hurt, don't you get
Don't get hurt, don't you get hurt
Don't get hurt, don't you get
Everybody
Everybody wants somebody
Who doesn't want them
Or wants somebody else, baby
You want somebody?
Oh, you want someone?
Somebody else, somebody else
Don't get hurt, don't you get hurt
Don't get hurt, don't you get
Don't get hurt, don't you get hurt
Don't get hurt, don't you get
If you don't mind, if you don't mind
Would you please be so kind
To close the door behind you
It's been a long, long time
Since I've had this line of doubt
Out loud
So I deny I feel like
I feel like, I feel, baby now
Everybody wants somebody
Who doesn't want them,
Or wants somebody else, baby
You want somebody?
Oh, you want someone?
Somebody else, somebody else
Listen up
Don't get hurt, don't you get hurt
Don't get hurt, don't you get
Don't get hurt, don't you get hurt

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.

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,
