about this song

The final track from the first CD of the legendary double album “Soundtracks For The Blind”. Despite the sombre and dark mood that the album carries, the album ends up with the hopes of an entity to make the protagonist find a motive. Animus can be defined in both ways. An “animating spirit” or a strong dislike. Here Michael Gira is stating that his ultimate motivation will be the one that he ends up hating the most. In this song, an unknown person is the motivation, which is especially prevalent in the fourth verse.
