I and I

The words

A restless man walks out at dawn, weighing his own guilt against a stern, unseen judge.

The singer slips out at daybreak, leaving a woman asleep, and walks through a stark landscape while turning over questions of guilt, justice and the impossibility of facing God directly. The verses wander between small observations and heavy moral thought, and the refrain returns to the title, borrowed from a Rastafarian expression for the self joined with God. The mood is uneasy and solitary, set to a loping, reggae-tinged rhythm.
