"In Heaven, everything is fine." This is a line from Eraserhead, one the deformed girl sings to him in his dreams. I don't think he necessarily meant dying, heaven, or an afterlife. Eraserhead was about trying to find happiness in different ways, not about killing yourself. I think this song depicts that emotion, too. Trying to morph yourself or take different paths in order to feel that bit of bliss. Or I could take the easy way out and say it's about drugs. |

I agree and disagree with some of you. I do think it is about sexual intercourse. Whether it be from the male or female perspective is completely unimportant, however, things like "take in the extent of my sin" being a metaphor for a penis will be the only thing leading toward it being a males. I think this is about the males first time, giving away his virginity, his purity. He later finds out that the other one involved was not doing it for the same reasons. The other person lead him to believe that he was in control, placated him so he would give his purity. However, I don't thin it stops there. Eventually, he understands and realizes the depth of the other persons reasons, their lies (lies, lies) "Did you think I wouldn't recognize this compromise?" He was fully aware of it later, or maybe even during. This is why it is his sin, for he realizes that the other person lied, and he continues to defaced, disgraced and replaced. However, he doesn't want it to stop. Even though it isn't what he wanted initially, he still wants a "taste"(their taste, their sex) even if he can't have it all (their love, their commitment) He has turned into everything the other person has done to him. |
