Cover art for Sueisfine lyrics by My Bloody Valentine

MBV were pretty big into goth rock before Loveless, and I think you can still see a lot of that with Isn't Anything. Although, they were slowly moving away from that sound, the play on sex and death here is so goth rock.

I guess, you could see it as wanting someone you can't have so badly that you want to die. Very morbid, but also very sexual. I'm surprised no one mentioned that.
