Demand Lyrics

I actually think the song is about a pregnant woman who is hit by a drunk driver. The first verse you can easily interpret to be from the point of view of the fetus, and perhaps she became pregnant from a one-night-stand with 'the guy you met in town.' the second verse explains the driver's actions before getting into a car drunk, leading to the crash. i agree the jewish song's ethereal nature gives you the feeling of the woman/fetus drifting from this world to the next.

I'm not sure about whether it's about an accident that involves the fetus in the first part of the song, but the fetus does look "just like the guy [she] met uptown."
