AEON
Rock n' Roll Doggie Band-aid
A few things I am wondering about.
Does fire = heroin? (playing with the fire till the fire played with me, we set ourselves on fire)
Does the character's wife die? ("God do not deny her" - maybe into heaven after an overdose as it appears they did heroin even on their wedding day and sold her ring to get it
Is the "surrender" perhaps the actual, physical death of the character? It doesn't seem the character actually "converts" or has a change of heart - at every stage in the song the character is either high and wanting to get high - even at then end he is "speeding" through the subway.
When I hear the chorus, I get this image of a young, disheveled heroin addict slowly dying of an overdose on a busy sidewalk at night and nobody even notices him and he's too busy seeing his last-dying-drug-induced "vision" to see anyone around him.
I could be wrong, but this is where I'm at right now.
