Cover art for Antarctic lyrics by Manic Street Preachers

I don't really know what this is about...but the lines 'As our bodies fall apart, and left to the dust and bones. All we have is the fear is we'll never carry you home' sound like the song's about Richey. About how he just disappeared and they'll never know what ever happened to him. I doubt the whole song's about him but that's just how I interpreted those few lyrics :)
