really awesome song to open up the c.d. Modern Guilt. the lyrics are so hard to describe (as is 90% of Beck's lyrics) ;p
i think it has something to do with how you feel when you're by yourself and how it's the opposite of how it's supposed to be - like you're an orphan, but that shouldn't have happened.
i also think it's about someone who wants to be even slightly loved (ex: "to be loved or destroyed, from a void to a grain of sand in your hand) - from nothing to a little bit of something.
and it seems like it deals a lot with confusion.
