I don't know what Low means, but this song speaks to me of God. There are times in life when I need more than just His voice, when I long to go with Him because even prayer won't let me fully commune the way I want to with Him.
I only own two of their albums, this one and The Things We Lost in the Fire, so I don't know if Low does this a lot, but this song quotes its melody from Closer on the other album (...hold me closer than that). They both share a common motif of unfulfillment. I think they use the same melody to encode those same feelings into the current song.
