On the other hand, it could possibly also be ZigZagged due to the lines about "wasted in time", and the fact that it's immediately followed by "White Kross", which describes the downsides of drug addiction.

* DownerEnding: "White Kross", both musically and lyrically, particularly coming as it does after the euphoric "Cotton Crown". See DrugsAreBad below for details.
* DrugsAreBad: "White Cross" (or "White Kross", depending on the track list) is apparently named after a slang for amphetamine pills, and it is about the difficulty of breaking a drug addiction due to weak willpower. Creator/PhilipKDick struggled with amphetamine addiction for many years, and in ''Literature/AScannerDarkly'', he describes himself as a casualty of drug addiction. Although he was a FunctionalAddict for many years, he ceased being able to write between 1970 and 1972, and his drug use resulted in the breakup of his fourth marriage. Although he eventually did manage to break his addictions, it is likely that his longtime drug abuse contributed to the stroke that eventually killed him.
* LastNoteNightmare: "White Kross" is an example for the whole album, being one of the darkest songs on the album.

Most of the lines in the song can be interpreted in two different ways -- but we should note Gordon is desperately screaming them over one of the most ominous backing tracks on ''Sister''.

''Sister'' is Music/SonicYouth's fourth album, released in 1987 on SST Records. It marked a further shift away from their no wave beginning, incorporating more pop melodies in their music, while still keeping the aggression and PunkRock influences of their earlier work. For this reason, the album is generally classified as NoisePop. It's also a loose ConceptAlbum about the works of Creator/PhilipKDick; The title references his fraternal twin who died at birth, and whose memory haunted him throughout his life. Other aspects of his life and works are referenced in songs like "Schizophrenia".
