Manics often have rather hard to decipher lyrics, but this one is very tough. What does the door to the river have to do with the rest of the lyrical content?
Great song though, nice ballad. One of their lesser known songs, as it only appeared on the "best of" compilation album "Forever delayed" and was never released as a single or put on a different "regular" album.
I think Door to the river refers to being tempted by suicide to enter the heavenly realms and life eternal, as a way to escape our problems here on earth.
