Lyric discussion by calliphony 

The book, Watership Down, by Richard Adams is also a political story. General Woundwort's burrow is like a communist country. I highly doubt that this song is about communism, but hey, it's food for thought for all those of you with hyperactive imaginations.

I would say that this song was pretty obviously about death, the mystery surrounding it and how it is an inevitable rite of passage, like the course of a river.

I haven't seen the movie, I'm afraid.
