but he took my shoulders,
and he shook my face,
and he takes,
and he takes,
and he takes.

160. The Last Limit of Bhakti

I’m not sure whether “Let me serve you with my tongue” is supposed to be dirty or not.

Likewise, I’m not sure whether this song is addressed to a lover or to God. ‘Bhakti’ means, apparently, “devotional worship directed to one supreme deity”. So I’m more inclined towards to think it’s a love song.

“Leave this grieving sand and sky far behind” is such a good turn of phrase. Also note the lyric change in the bridge (“let me hear the machines’ great gears squeal and wheelgrind” – it’s just “grind” in the album version.)

Grateful today to be in a world where this song exists
