[[Mark Eitzel]] told ''Unhinged'' that the song is "about stopping for gas in South Carolina next to this Marine army base and then this little girl came out of a triangle of furniture to buy some coke and she looked like Ophelia at the bottom of the water, drowned, pale and dead. (The triangle) was where she worked as a secretary. She has long blonde hair and there were flags flapping. It was October and there was this haze. It was romantic and I wrote this thing. She was at the bottom of the lake in a mermaid cave and swam around. She was like an albino fish, never ate daylight. Of course, I didn't say that in the song because the song was flawed. I should have said 'albino fish'. If we'd been Thin White Rope, I could have written a song about albino fish. She is an albino mermaid, clever and cool, but I'm not clever and cool.""<ref>{{cite web | url=http://americanmusicclub.com/index.php?title=Articles:Unhinged_-_Winter_1989 | work=Unhinged | date=Winter 1989 | author=Drew | title=American Music Club | accessdate=March 27, 2018}}</ref> | |||
