'Cross the Breeze

Defninitley a strong contender.

I like this explanation .. that's how it sounds to me. Partly it reminds me of waking up the next day with someone perhaps you don't know very well?

/No need to be scared
Let's jump into the day
I wanna know
I think I oughta go/

She wants to be certain about how she feels but has no idea.

/I wanna know
Should I stay or go?/

@glitcHead hahaha, great man!!

I think this song is about being saved. The reference to walking on water could be referring to Jesus, then midway in the verse when she says "you think i'm satans daughter" is referring to her being judged based on the things she does. The fact that she doesn't want to go burning 'cross the breeze' could be referring to going to hell. Especially because the guitars and drums get hectic towards the end. I love it. haha

I highly highly doubt Sonic Youth would write anything pro-Christian given their very progressive leanings. If anything, the song seems to be loosely about how women who are sexually powerful are marginalized, which is kind of what half of Kim's songs are about. The "walking on water" part is I think meant to highlight the difference between the female speaker and the male Jesus. Jesus walks on water so he's the son of Christ. The speaker walks on water so she's the daughter of Satan.

let's so walking on the water
-an invitation to go for a walk, to talk, be in con-verse-(with verse) ation....
in this context (familiar, as miraculous, with someone named jesus to many but here, incidental).
it is to be exclusive of all the mundane common bindings of human existence.
ideas of religion, nationality, even language, time frame are irrelevant.... as an... immortal or myth...
In this encounter while walking (moving, drifting thinking along ...)
close your eyes and make believe you can do whatever you please...
consider but not limit to: "Make, Be, Leave"
imagine yourself... manifest, then go on, be on your way fly fly fly...
should i stay or go... the presence of Kim (or whomever one may interpret the voice to be)
is considering that if the receiver is not ready, receptive, engaging, that she may as well go...
the truth is not conceivable... for everyone, or delusional security may be hard to part with... so,
"I think I ought to go..."
I'm trying for the future... just as Christ, funny that way, haha still work to be done, not there yet...
the human condition, where we should be able to walk on water, even if in make belief...
I took a look into the hate
It made me feel very up to date
yes still work left to be done...
the answer is blowin' in the wind...
