This was written as a soundtrack for the incredibly poor movie "Until The End of The World" which flopped disasterously. Only a few seconds of the song appear. I often had the feeling that the song was about a man who was having an affair with a married couple, but neither partner knows what the other is doing. And even though the protagonist is having great fun, he still feels alone and used at the end of the day.
Regarding amlethus' query about E-A-C, in my opinion, that line- "Reach for peace with an E-A-C" is emphasising which kind of peace (as opposed to P-I-E-C-E) which could be construed as a gun. Reach for the peace as opposed to reach for the PIECE! A great clarification!! Brilliantly moving song. I'm assuming the female vocalist is Patti Smith, but can anyone confirm that?
