• This song is written through the eyes of a serial killer's victim, clinging to life and about to be dumped in the water. "I was thinking about this crucial moment inside the victim's mind, when she knows she's going to die. She thinks back at her life and the futility of the decisions she made, when in the end her life would be cut short against her will," said Zola Jesus of the track.
  
  "What's the point of trying to navigate life if you don't even get to choose how it ends? Instead of letting her fate be determined by someone else, she takes back control and turns it around, so instead, in her mind, she is choosing to die," the singer continued. "She lets the killer assist her in suicide, as she gets tossed into the water and slowly drowns. Through writing this song the story evolved within me, and I saw how it mirrored my own feelings inside."
