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.
Looking back, on all the times we strained to have, vacant eyes, a sometimes smile. Thinking back, on all the things we almost did, I hope you had a good time.
Angel, ever divine, you’ll never be mine.
About the pictures, that we hardly took, hope they come out alright.
Regarding the ring, you always talked about, I’m sure it’ll fit you just fine.
Angel, ever divine, you’ll never be mine.
Just one question, you never answered, you never learned.
Just one question, and your lips, never shaped the words.
Angel, ever divine, you’ll never be mine.
You’ll never be mine.
Angel, ever divine, you’ll never be mine.
About the pictures, that we hardly took, hope they come out alright.
Regarding the ring, you always talked about, I’m sure it’ll fit you just fine.
Angel, ever divine, you’ll never be mine.
Just one question, you never answered, you never learned.
Just one question, and your lips, never shaped the words.
Angel, ever divine, you’ll never be mine.
You’ll never be mine.

Little Feat
Little Feat
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”

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
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.

“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.
yes, sadly enough, thats what it appears to be. but the funny thing (to me at least) is that half of these bands that are now considered "emo"...aren't. i mean, it takes more than clever word-play to be considered "emo" in my book.
i've heard really really bad pop/rap/country/rock (basically all genres) and the music just sucks....but the lyrics are clever, and they mean something. now are these bands considered "emo"??...hell no, but for some (very odd) reason the same thing is happening with some of these pop/punk bands these days. their music totally blows...but their lyrics mean a little more than the average band...so why are the automatically considered "emo"??? good question and unfortunately i don't know the answer.
to me "emo" is all about the music...and the lyrics are just an added bonus. true some lyrics are amazing (last days of april....but thats a personal thing...others may disagree). bands like the white octave that play instrumental songs (no lyrics for those who don't know) that affect me just the same as if it DID have lyrics....thats true "emo" for me. music that moves me....and not to the trash can to throw away the cd....which i find myself doing with all of these shitty so-called "emo" bands these days. it makes me sick. people need to know the history before they start labeling music that they know nothing about.
now as for time spent driving....i haven't heard this song at all but i have heard other songs...and "lowlight" is beautiful.
and to whoever said that we need to grow up. maybe its closed-minded people like yourself that need to grow up. and by the way i've heard just as many uplifting "emo" songs as i've heard depressing ones. and i take it by your name that you are a pantera fan?? (vinnyrex)....they play such happy songs don't they!!....yeah
