I think you hit the nail on the head, Also an interesting line to consider is this: "King of diamonds, king of hearts? One dies loved, and one is dead from the very start" My first listen I thought he was simply stating that he'd rather be the king of hearts than of diamonds. But the line doubles in meaning when you take into consideration that the "Suicide King" (The only of the four kings of a card deck to be depicted with a knife in his neck) is the king of hearts. If this is the author's intent, then we can assume that it is actually the king of hearts that is dead from the very start, and the king of diamonds who dies loved. Maybe his intention with this particular line isn't to say which of these he would chose to be, but to point out that society adores the affluent. |
