It's weird. I used to think this song was a boring piece of filler, but it's actually become one of my favorite songs on the album, especially when put in context. After the emotional devastation of Washer, For Dinner is a relief, a gentle ebb and flow like the sea's tide, a moment of calm before Goodnight, Captain. It's peaceful yet bleakly sinister; it sounds a lot like the way depressive exhaustion feels, when you feel so low that there's almost a certain bliss in your helplessness and despair.
