I've always liked this song a lot. No idea what exactly its meaning is derived from- but it seems to be a song based on a person (assumingly female) who is in a very murky & deep state of depression.
I love how PJ Harvey's songs from album to album- even track to track, a lot of the time- can alter so much in mood, element, emotion...
Take a song like this. Then compare it to a later work, such as Good Fortune. Or a ballad-like rock song like Dry. Or something like The River... Electric Garden. etc. The diversity in her music has always kept me interested and listening consistently- one of a few artists constantly in rotation on my playlist. Great music, great lyrics.
