As the title of the track would suggest, this song is about Smeagol. More specifically, it is about Sam and Frodo wrestling Smeagol as he attempts to take back his Precious.
The song starts out with a reference back to the Shire which gives a sense of homesickness to the song. Quickly, it turns dark as the viewer learns that this track aims to show how difficult the journey ahead will be for Frodo and Sam. They are in a dark land and end up going in circles. Smeagol (or Gollum) is on their trail and is seeking the Ring.
The song turns very fast paced once the fight between Smeagol and Frodo and Sam begins. It gives a fantastic sense of nervousness in the viewer - the goal of all good music during a tense scene. Even after reading the books and knowing the ending, the viewer can't help but feel anxious during the fight while this song is playing.
