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.
You walked all over
In your blunder stones
In your own road movie
With your one armed man
Gonna make it to the problem page
Troubleshoot your life
Gonna make it to the problem page
Need some time and space
Just to find yourself
I hope you find yourself
In a low place like home
Low place like home
You talked it over
From your bedroom throne
Making sense of nothing
With your one armed man
Read your future in the magazine
Search the stars for clues
Read your future in the magazine
Tells you what to lose
Just to find yourself
I hope you find yourself
In a low place like home
Low place like home
I hope you find yourself
In a low place like home
You fall all over
With your small town heels
Catching hold of nothing
Like your one armed man
Treat your life like a tragedy
Self-inflict abuse
Treat your life like a tragedy
Precious else to choose
Crucify yourself
I'll bet you find yourself
In a low place like home
Low place like home
Low place like home
Low place like home
Crucify yourself
I'll bet you find yourself
In a low place like home
I'll bet you find yourself
I'll bet you find yourself
I'll bet you find yourself
In a low place like home
Low place like home
Crucify yourself
In a low place like home
I hope you find yourself
I hope you find yourself
I hope you find yourself
I hope you find yourself

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,

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
To me, this song is about an alchoholic parent. I'm not sure if that's what Kelly intended it to reflect, but it makes perfect sense to me. Maybe you have to be in that kind of situation to see it, but my mother is a severe alchoholic/manic depressive. This morning, she took the car and just left around 1 AM, completely drunk, and nobody knew where she was until almost 8 PM the next day, when she called and said she was at our old house (it's empty and we still own it).
"You talked it over from your bedroom throne" It reminds me of how my mom would stay in bed for literally months.. and just drink and cry...
"You fall all over, in your small town heels Catching hold of nothing, like your one armed man Treat your life like a tragedy, self inflict abuse Treat your life like a tragedy, precious else to choose Crucify yourself, I hope you find yourself In a low place like home" Aw man. This is the part of the song that I just broke down crying at. My mother summed up in a manner of lines... I took it as referring to how when you're drunk, you stumble all over the place looking for help, but you can never find it.. And my mother's biggest problem was her self-pity. That's why she drank so much. She felt so damn sorry for herself, and everything she went through, that she didn't even want to get up in the mornings - she treated her life like a tragedy. The "low place like home" lyric... that immediately brings to mind my mother hiding in our old house.
I probably shouldn't have put my personal life here, but this song means so much to me, and I thought it'd be easier if I explained why. The Sneaker Pimps were amazing with Kelly and they need her back.
@avarchiel I know you wrote this many years ago, but I just wanted to reply to say that I'm sorry you went through that. I hope things are better for you now. I also wanted to comment that I think this is a prime example of why artists often don't like to tell us what they wrote their song about. They want people to interpret them in ways that are meaningful and helpful to them. If they just came out and told you what it's about, it may not mean as much to you and you wouldn't connect with it and them as much. :)
