[Verse 2] I tried to stay away, just in case I've come to realize, we all have our place Time, time has a way, you know, to make it clear And I have my role in this: I can't disappear or leave you here
[Chorus 2] Watching you drown, I'll follow you down And I am here right beside you The lights in the sky are waving goodbye And I am staying right beside you
The song’s accompanying art is vague, but may represent a light in the sky, a whirlpool (As in “Watching you drown; I’ll follow you down”) or possibly even a halo (in the sense of the literal meaning or the NIN catalogue system). It is also one of the three pictures in The Slip that have no red lines.
Curiously, the track overlaps into “Corona Radiata” and shares its tempo (55 BPM), but whether the tracks are otherwise related is possible but unknown.
