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.
Yo swizz, that's what we doing?
Weezy, what up?
Ooh-wee
Why must you insist on being so motherfuckin' much? (Woo)
Like a motherfuckin' pussy to a dog, bitch, hmm
Nah dog
Come on
Who let the dogs out? Who let the dogs out?
I stretch your jaw out, who next to call out?
Who left the call out? You catch the fall out (uh, yeah)
You take the brawl out, I get to ball out (come on)
None of my dawgs could say I left my dawgs out (uh-huh)
I never dog out, my fellow bloodhound (wow)
I left it all out, y'all letting it all out (yeah)
Go extra hard out then ask your dog 'bout me
Lil Tunechi, baddest dog up in the dog house
Keep a bad bitch walk around with my bone out (uh)
She swallow puppies you know we got PETA on the phone now (okay)
I make her pussy rain cats and dogs, ooh, it's pourin' down (damn)
Gave my dog a pound 'cause he hit me with a couple pounds (err)
Tell your big dog I'll break him down to puppy chow (oh)
Bah, I left your skull out
I DM'd DMX and said they never X'd the dog out
(Here we go)
Let the dogs out
(Here we go!)
Let the dogs out
(Goddamn, let it go)
Let the dogs out
(Oh! Talk to me)

Who let the dog out? They let the dog out
Straight out the dog house, now get the fuck out
What y'all niggas know about making a movie? Show 'em out
Be careful, 'cause what you say will get you punched in your mouth (come on)
When it's time to roll out, my niggas is goin' out
Coming with that hardware that y'all niggas don't know about
Let off and blow 'em out, that's how we show 'em out
Put a couple of bodies on them things then we throw 'em out
Serious niggas spit serious shit
When I hear y'all niggas spit, all I hear is a bitch (uh)
When it's time to get active, my niggas get into it
I ain't sayin' you a sucker, I'm just sayin' don't do it
Let the dogs out
(Here we go)
Let the dogs out
(Goddamn, let it go)
Let the dogs out
(Talk to me)

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.

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
