Greg and Scott C: thank you!!!

Noel: thank you so much for taking the time to give that in-depth comment. It's so interesting to see what different people see in different songs. Personally, it was just a bit of frustration at what seemed to be divine indifference to me ... an "Eli, Eli, lama sabactani" moment, if you will ... but yes, I can completely see how your interpretation might work! I wasn't really sure about this track - both lyrically and musically - so I'm glad that so many here liked it, it probably means that (on some level, at least) it worked. Thanks again!
