Well I suppose if you are facing the wind, you are fighting against it and resisting. Nico sees herself in this song has being carried by it, unlike those around her. She doesn't fit in, she is different and also she isn't in control of her own life perhaps. This would make sense because up until The Marble Index, Nico's career was defined by her doing as she was told by the likes of Andy Warhol, Lou Reed, her modelling agents and all that. This song is her questioning this.
