Undertow” is a great song, but whats it supposed to mean?
While this answer by Steve Reed (steve@failure.org) is purely speculative, it is a very good one. “Undertow is a song about repeated drug use. The voice that he hears is some sort of craving for this drug (or something), it suggests nice things to him, and beckons him. When it surrounds and drowns and wipes him away, he is obviously succumbing to this drug. Then, he regains his senses and asks ‘How could I let this bring me back to my knees?’ realizing that this thing isn’t good for him … The undertow represents the state of being under the influence, euphoria has it’s obvious meaning.” F26.
