Cover art for From Her to Eternity lyrics by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

can sombody help me whis the meaning of this song?

@hipitipi Me too. Have you got it? It seems to me it's a song about wanting a girl living above his floor in a hotel, who is also under 18....(crying for sure) :D

@hipitipi It's about a man who hears a woman suffering and is tortured by the fact that he feels compassion for her (because he's also crying) and wants her but can't do anything about it. There's a reason why the song appears in Wim Wender's The Wings of Desire, which is a movie about angels who watch people suffering and feel for them but can't do anything to intervene, and in turn they suffer a little themselves because of it.It's a very unconventional love song.
