Machine Gun Lyrics

Cover art for Machine Gun lyrics by Slowdive

It might not be at all correct, but my initial interpretation was, "see you walking, I know she's my friend again" - seeing someone leaving their ex, having an ex now suddenly talking to them again now that the other person isn't around.

The next three lines seem like they're about laying in a bathtub when you're depressed, for hours, in the warm water until it gets cold, and maybe doing it again. How the water feels somehow comforting, as opposed to laying in bed even. It's a common thing to do when depressed. You don't want to get up or get out, the water feels 'heavy', like it's holding you there.

I'm not sure what to make of the next lines, but I'd assume it is a metaphor having to do with Shiva / mythology I do not know enough to interpret.
