I suppose i wasn't very surprised to see that Blockhead didn't have an artist listing on songmeanings... he isn't very well-known.

this song is cryptic for the first 50 listens. i began to make sense of the dialogue at the end... started thinking about the context in which the pair of people are speaking. To me it seems that they are lost or stranded in the wilderness, and someone is hurt... judging by the use of regular clothes for "gauze" and the tinge of desperation in their voices towards the very end.

The end dialogue may tie into the drama between the two indians mentioned in the beginning... the distance and desperation between them seems to mirror the feelings (at least a little bit) of the stranded two in the forest...

Anyway, it's a great song. very relaxing, mellow, thoughtful, thought-provoking.
