Red Tide Lyrics

Cover art for Red Tide lyrics by Neko Case

I think this song is about a traditional fishing town which has been ruined by modern culture. Possibly Neko has had some experience with it when she was young and then came back years later to find it urban and dirty. The 'I hate the rain' is probably a metaphor, with rain being modern culture.
