Well I've definitely always thought this song was about suicide. Not just that, however - but when Siobhan Fahey takes on the "Death" pers onification, as we all mostly agree on, she speaks about the Afterlife. I find her lyrics the most interesting of the song - she describes the afterlife (back in your own world) as a place less forgiving than life itself, reinforcing the general song's statement: Is this really a good idea?

Such an emotive song. Marcella Detroit is such an awesome singer, I can't believe she was the "back up singer" of this group! Oh, and just as a trivia note.. the filmclip setting for this song, was based on a terrible 1950s sci-fi film about a planet of cat women. lol. P:
