| I sort of get the sense that this song might be about cocaine. Perhaps there are some people trying to get away from an environment that has fostered an addiction to it? | |

I think this song is actually about the holocaust. Here's some of the reasons why, although they are incredibly morbid and depressing... "And in the dark we will take off our clothes, and they'll be placing fingers through the notches in your spine." When the Nazis were selecting which Jews they were going to gas, they would have them take off their clothes and line up. The skinniest and sickliest would be taken, while the ones that were still strong enough to work would be kept around for a while longer. "And when all is breaking, everything that you could keep aside. Now your eyes ain’t moving now, they just lay there in their climb." When you're being gassed you try climbing to the top over the weaker people to get to the fresh air near the top of the chamber. Further, the people on the side would try to climb up the walls, breaking and splitting their fingers in the process. |
