Parts of this album, especially this track, seem to link Damien's past and present.
This song seems as if Damien is addressing himself - about his past - and asking himself the 4 questions, as posed by Byron Katie (she is thanked in the credits for the album).
To ask yourself the four questions, propose a statement about a problem in your life, for example; "She is ignoring me".
Find someone in your life about whom you have had that thought.
Then take that statement and put it up against the four questions and turnarounds as follows :
Question 1 Is it true? (Yes or no. If no, move to 3.)
Question 2 Can you absolutely know that it's true? (Yes or no.)
Question 3 How do you react, what happens, when you believe that thought?
Question 4 Who would you be without the thought?
According to Byron, and Damien it seems, this is a way to analyse life and the issues we face.
The song also ends in an extremely similar (nay identical) fashion as "Cold Water" from 0, and "Sleep Don't Weep" from previous album 9.

Why can't it be both? A message to Lisa perhaps and also a continuation of a spiritual theme? Almost all this album seems to be addressed to her.

Is this a message to Lisa perhaps?
Or just a continuation of a spiritual theme?
