Just wanted to correct the last comment: It's not that he necessarily wanted to die, but maybe it's the only way he thought he could redeem himself for all the stuff he'd done. |

I think that in Big Man With a Gun, the main character may have committed a rape (and possible murder) if you observe the lyrics going along with the background screams. In this song, he suddenly realizes everything he's done. I thought the 'warm place' could be this small shred of sadness/sympathy (human emotion) left in his cold heart. "The best thing about life is knowing you put it together." Sounds like a moment of clarity for him. He realizes had he been in control of his life he wouldn't have chosen this, but after becoming mechanical and powerful, he lost the chance to make good choices. In Eraser, he is even more horrified by what he's realized in this song and wants to die. |
