Delving into the complexities of friendship, this track explores the various facets that can define a friend. The lyrics hint at different types of friends - those who offer comfort, excitement, intimacy or even a sense of rebellion. The repeated line "A friend in need's a friend indeed" suggests that true friendship is proven during difficult times. Yet, the song also implies that friendships can involve manipulation and ulterior motives with lines like "A friend who'll tease is better" and "when she's pressed she will undress". The chorus, "Day's dawning, skins crawling", could be interpreted as a metaphor for new beginnings or facing reality after indulgence. The title phrase "Pure Morning" perhaps represents clarity and purity found in the quiet moments of dawn after a tumultuous night.
