I think this song could possibly be tied in with "The Same Deep Water as You." Note that right after this track there is the sound of thunder and rain. Maybe it's about anticipation for something (like a loved one). The line "I suffocate/I breathe in dirt" could be describing how without rain the ground gets dry and things wither--the rain possibly being an allusion to love. The same meaning above might be applied however, to a starving or longing for something important that has been away. I always think about a Native American rain dance when I hear this song, although I don't think it has much to do with it.
