I think this is my favorite song from Superdrag and it is nothing less than a poem set to music. All four verses have the same syllable counts, line one: 14, line two: 10, then line three: 11. The themes are medication/drugs: 7 occurrences, death: 10 occurrences, girlfriend/relationship: 14, seasons/time periods: 6. There's a lot of alliteration everywhere: "in many ways, Her Holidays, are Holier now, still I wonder How she Came, Covered in a Capsule, Cold and deCayed on the Colonnade etc.
The emotional content is very strong: frustration, loss and regret and nostalgia for a romance that has passed; there's a deep sense of depression almost to the point of insanity. Even when he was with her, he was depressed, but at least he was not alone then. "It takes time to rewrite [find] the reason I get out of my bed," "I go out of my head, I drown in my bed."
