Clearly the song is about depression. If you examine the subjects of other songs by 10,000 maniacs and Natalie, you will find that most songs are about significant life experiences that many individuals live through in their lives.
I especially like the lyrics: "Do I need someone here to scold me
or do I need someone who'll grab and pull me out of this four poster dull torpor pulling downward."
Often people close to those who are depressed handle their depression with anger....
Also I dont necessarily believe this song is about Natalie herself....could be anyone. She may not have even written the lyrics for this song (I am not really sure one way or the other)
