I'm not really familiar with Nick Cave's lyrics, I've never sat down trying to analyze them seriously, but instinctively, this song reminds me of another by Alanis Morissette... "Would Not Come" ("i would go shopping and still
it would not come
i'd leave the country and still
it would not come
i would scream and rebel still
it would not come
i would stuff my face and still
it would not come"
Trying to find something that is too elusive to be grasped. In Nick Cave's song, it reaches a mystical dimension, whereas Morissette's song is more on the personal level, to me...
