I'd never heard of the word "eke" before, but I looked it up: –verb (used with object), eked, ek⋅ing.

  1. to increase; enlarge; lengthen. —Verb phrase
  2. eke out, a. to make (a living) or support (existence) laboriously: They managed to eke out a living by farming a small piece of land. b. to supplement; add to; stretch: to eke out an income with odd jobs.

I do like this song, particularly the images the first few verses conjure up! As much as I enjoy the louder ones (like "Please Just Take....") I think the quieter songs complement the album nicely.
