One of the most hard-hitting songs on the album, this song starts with a gnarly bass riff and ends with explosive guitar riffs and brass pops till the entire song explodes with shocking intensity.
Lyrically, the song is about a serious bout of asthma that Michael Gira suffered. He expanded on this in an interview:
Breathing and having a heartbeat are things that we’re completely not conscious of most of the time and take for granted. As someone who’s had severe bouts of asthma, I’m conscious of what it feels like to not be able to breathe. I was hospitalized for it. And this song was written after a particularly severe asthma attack. But now that I stopped smoking cigarettes, hopefully that will be gone.
