The S&F album was a bit of a mix between the catchy feel of NGD and the earlier arty music, and this song catches that mood with its earworm melody and its strange, inexplicable lyrics.

I'm a lyrics person, always have been. In a way, to me, the music is secondary. The words, well it's often the feel they create rather than a clear meaning, like here, like many SM songs.
