This is also the first song I ever heard from Sonic Youth and it instantly blew my mind. Of course that I didn't understand anything about its lyrics, and I still haven't. But that's the way with Sonic Youth: their lyrics are rarely clear, much less straightforward.
Anyway, this song seems to flirt with the idea of extremes and intense situations... From the title itself to the images of never forgeting, Moving the world, sticking a knife in a head, shooting someone in the head and beeing the world a million times.
It's more the expression of a deep feeling than anything else. Which feeling? It doesn't show. And I believe it never will.
