Cover art for Fifteen Feet of Pure White Snow lyrics by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

Don't be unimaginative. Just because it's about coke use doesn't mean it can't be about something else also. I have never done cocaine, and yet I can relate to it. Sometimes I feel like being "under fifteen feet of pure white snow" - in deep, deep depression, like a sense of total hopelesness, like a catastrophe had just occurred in my psyche. Eclusion from God, one could say.
