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”
Self-contained environments, where shut-ins live their worthless lives
Here you did awake, meant to gaze upon their sloth
They remane unaware as you pass and watch the pathetic routine to which they all adhere
This is the gallery of Stupid-High
Marijuana museum, exhibits of death
Behold this gallery of Stupid-High
Tremble comprehending the visions of this artist
What he has created is a drooling brain dead horde
This vast corridor displays hundreds of retards watching TV screens
All quite similar, but no two are the same
Like nihilistic paintings by a single artist, both brilliant and insane
The subjects set in living rooms, no desire to escape
Imprisoned by their own freewill, demented sculptures are their state
Unknowing, under lock and key, no escape for them is left
Couches, bongs and buds are this gallery's decor
The smell from the gallery, the stink of human waste and pot
You face the sordid nature of stoners on display
See the addicts through the looking glass, they think of nothing for their brains are mush
Witness brutal exploitation of potheads in decay
Here you did awake, meant to gaze upon their sloth
They remane unaware as you pass and watch the pathetic routine to which they all adhere
This is the gallery of Stupid-High
Marijuana museum, exhibits of death
Behold this gallery of Stupid-High
Tremble comprehending the visions of this artist
What he has created is a drooling brain dead horde
This vast corridor displays hundreds of retards watching TV screens
All quite similar, but no two are the same
Like nihilistic paintings by a single artist, both brilliant and insane
The subjects set in living rooms, no desire to escape
Imprisoned by their own freewill, demented sculptures are their state
Unknowing, under lock and key, no escape for them is left
Couches, bongs and buds are this gallery's decor
The smell from the gallery, the stink of human waste and pot
You face the sordid nature of stoners on display
See the addicts through the looking glass, they think of nothing for their brains are mush
Witness brutal exploitation of potheads in decay

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,

“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.
