A very dark song about a very dark time in Paula's life. Possibly a moment in the time after Amen came out, or after the Hugh Paghdam album that WB refused to release.
Each time I play this song it occurs to me that it must be so painful to talk about "All my seriousness, My so-called spirituality" -- most likely a reference to the Amen album and how it became a debacle of sorts just because she chose to use the word Amen.
It's painful having to admit you might've believed wrong, or used/presented your belief in a way that toppled your boat. This kind of screw-up is worse than simply screwing up because you may have genuinely thought your belief was something good, and that all things considered, presentation is just a detail... In that sense the song is really a companion to Nietzsche's Eyes.
