Yeah thats a good point about the suicide, also the "collapses down, upon the ocean floor" as in drowning herself? Didnt see the song that way, thought the song had quite an upbeat feeling but obviously is quite a dark song

I used to think that "ocean floor" was some kind of metaphor, too, until I went to Opus 40 (New York) and saw that "ocean floor" was the name of a particularly flat, rocky area that is part of Harvey Fite's work.
