Night Still Comes Lyrics

Cover art for Night Still Comes lyrics by Neko Case

I agree with some of the other comments here about the first verse referencing depression. I think the depression is the result of a relationship ending, and the author is kind of lashing out at that ex and saying 'you were bad at sex.'

I think 'tools made for my hand' and 'held it at the right angle' delicately describes a sex toy or vibrator. And 'revenge myself' and the lines about catching a falling star refer to orgasm.

There's a lot of strange verbiage in the 3rd verse, but I still think "my urge," "waist-deep" and "finish me" refer to sex in a metaphoric way. I see the author as helping herself feel better by saying out loud that he never satisfied her, but she can still satisfy herself and he can't hurt her anymore ('there's nothing you can do to me').
