Cover art for Spill! lyrics by Stolen Babies

I think it's about oil and how the humankind is depending on its existence. We're so desperate to get it, we suck it out with "our lips pressed to the ground". And it's all for nothing, we're acting as it was water (read: crucial to our survival).

At least that's what I came up with my little thought potato inside my head.
