I find it really disappointing that there aren't a ton of comments on these songs...St. Vincent is phenomenal shit.
In any case...I just want to say that lyrically, this is perhaps one of my favorite songs on the album. If you read into it the right way...the way that most people tell us not to read into things...this song is just about sex. Really now.
"Please keep your victory, but give me little death." Little Death, i.e. La Petite Mort, orgasm.
Great transformation of epic (or attempting epic) sex into beautiful music.

I think the subject is pretty much the same as you do! She's talking about sex... i don't get why everybody wants every song to talk about religion.
