This song is definitely at the pinnacle of the album. The white settlers have moved in, and despite being guests, have placed the land firmly into their hands.
At the heart of this song is a story about losing identity, and having an entire land spirit and culture robbed and erased from existence. The saddest part is that the protagonist from this song is obviously seduced by the settlers, and is beginning to lose the essence of who she is,
'if you're a thought
you will want me
to think you
and I did
and I did'
This weakness leads into the next song 'Virginia', where the girls completely loses who she is, and betrays everything she knows.
