Possibly one of Swans' best songs. I don't know of any live recordings. Shame. "Amnesia", "Her" (specifically the scary instrumental jam part), and "Love of Life" shred live. This would, too.
Anyway, this seems to be about a person who seeks enlighten ment and believes that they have risen over all, but... The amazing, declaritive chorus puts it best:
"You know nothing,
You knothing at all,
How could you know,
You'll never know anything at all."
Best show of Michael Gira's lyrical work, up there with "Failure", "New York Girls", "Sex, God, Sex", "Real Love", and "New City in the Future".
