Cypress moon, bald in June
Like the granite in a stream
Swamp Ophelia, I'm torn down
Let your waters let me drown
Touch me, I'm so beautiful
Rub your hands across my head just like this
Come with me, now it's not worth it if you don't
Are you crying? I am crying

| Music Lover is right about the Hamlet reference. Ophelia was driven mad because after professing his love for her Hamlet became distant to protect himself, causing the great heartache of indifference. Notice the many refenrences to water in this song; Ophelia drown herself in a river. | |

| I've always thought this song was about being mentally ill. Mainly because it is so all over the place and so are the lyrics...they are just little snippets that don't directly relate to each other. And then it's on the Swamp Ophelia CD (and as you may know Ophelia was Hamlet's girlfriend and she was insane and committed suicide) So...that's what has always just come to mind when i hear it. I might be way off on that. It is an awesome song though...no doubt. | |

| Umm...I guess I always thought it was about making love. The lyrics are pretty suggestive, and if you listen to the song it starts slow, builds, builds, and then kind of climaxes, and then abruptly ends. See what I'm getting at? Yeah.... | |

| I don't know about losing your virginity to this song, but it seems like the right song to commit suicide to. I don't think it is about sex. | |
