This goes with "Hammer," being about the devastation of AIDS in the gay community, but this could be about a survivor's feelings as well as the dread of impending death for one who is afflicted.
This is, musically, one of my favorite KOD songs. I love the spaced-out delays and reverbs, the poly bass line, the hints of jazz in the chords, and the dynamics. Lots of popular groups of the time were doing the quiet-verse-to-loud-chorus thing, but KOD was one group that didn't do this to death, and when they did it at all, it was more like a color on the pallette to paint with than a way to be contemporary.
