Been waiting here
Transporter broken
Horizon's clear
(DAY ONE)
No vegetation
Blips on my screen
Whatever was here
Has been disappeared
Now here's alright
Now here's alright
(DAY TWO)
Wait tower
Radar's going off
I see a small creature
Who can barely walk
My data says "large"
But what I see is small
Text reads "Big Danger"
But this just looks tired
Now here's alright
Now here's alright
(DAY THREE)
Come in tower
All our data's wrong
Research inconsistent
We misread it all
There was no monster
And what's left is near dead
Control killed a phantom
From inside their heads
Nowhere's alright
Nowhere's alright
Nowhere's alright
Nowhere's alright
Been waiting here
Transporter broken
Horizon's clear
(DAY ONE)
No vegetation
Blips on my screen
Whatever was here
Has been disappeared
Now here's alright
Now here's alright
(DAY TWO)
Wait tower
Radar's going off
I see a small creature
Who can barely walk
My data says "large"
But what I see is small
Text reads "Big Danger"
But this just looks tired
Now here's alright
Now here's alright
(DAY THREE)
Come in tower
All our data's wrong
Research inconsistent
We misread it all
There was no monster
And what's left is near dead
Control killed a phantom
From inside their heads
Nowhere's alright
Nowhere's alright
Nowhere's alright
Nowhere's alright

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”
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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,
Punchline

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
When I read the lyrics, what I get from it is that there is a landscape of little or nothing dangerous, but everybody is looking for a threat.
Wait tower Radar's going off I see a small creature Who can barely walk

I think "tower" is referring to a power or powerful entity, government or media. Something small, docile, and possibly injured, is spotted, but the info on this "creature" given by "tower" states that it is large, "big danger", and a major threat.
Come in tower All our datas wrong Research inconsistent We misread it all
There was no monstor And what's left is near dead Control killed a phantom From inside thier heads
I think this is saying that all the info, data, and research on this "threat" is wrong or imcomplete. There wasn't a "monstor", never really was a threat at all. I believe "control" is another name for "tower" and the power that built up this "creature" as a threat. The "phantom" that "control" "killed from inside thier heads", is the idea of the "threat". So the power went about trying to destroy the "threat", by among other things, spreading propaganda of fear. This could refer to things such as the US government and Muslims, Nazis and Jews, the religious right/Republicans and homosexuals, the media and "dangerous" music/art, or any similar situations. As for "now here's alright" and "nowhere's alright", the first statement is saying this "place" is now "safe", and the second is saying nowhere is safe as long as things like this go on.
