I had a sudden realization recently that this and The Imploding Voice are about God rather than a girl. These songs take on totally different meanings in that light. I'm not religious, though, and Billy clearly is (especially, it seems, at this point in his career), so it's hard for me to relate to these songs on a spiritual level. So I still pretend they're about love. They clearly aren't, though.
