Pixies – Down To The Well Lyrics 14 years ago
Am I the only one who sees a connection between sex and religious experience in this song? Compare the idea phrase "down to the well" being used to refer to sexual experience to John 4's story of the woman at the well, wherein water from the well is used as a symbol of religious enlightenment. To me, it adds a layer of cheekiness to the song, since it makes it essentially sacrilegious.
