I always connected bitter buffalo metaphor with this old Native American story I heard as child...about buffalo that would sacrifice themselves to the Gods by charging off cliffs. On this, I assumed that the song balanced the heart and brain's abilities to destroy eachother. The brain can be fried by heart's passion while the heart despairs (commits buffalo suicide) before the brain's sheer reason.
