This song pays tribute to a scene in Lars von Trier's movie "Melancholia", which tells the story of two sisters dealing with the trauma of an approaching rogue planet that is about to collide with Earth. Frontman Michael Gira explained to Consequence of Sound: "That's an homage to the scene where [Kirsten Dunst] is lying naked on the mossy stones bathed by the light of the malevolent planet."
