The Verve – Bittersweet Symphony Lyrics 11 years ago
General Comment:
I agree on your interpretation except for this part.

"I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
Where all the veins meet yeah"

The central nervous system consists of the brain and the spinal cord, that is where all the veins meet. I believe this part of the song says he'll take you down the only road he's ever been down, which is his mind/brain.

Rainbow – The Temple Of The King Lyrics 13 years ago
The song is about death. My Dad used to sing this song when I was a kid, now that he's gone I finally understood the meaning.

When the strong young man of the rising sun
Heard the tolling of the GREAT BLACK BELL.
One day in the year of the fox,
When the bell began to ring,
It meant the time had come for one to go
To the temple of the king.

That part meant he died and he's going to the temple of the King (God)

Far from the circle, at the edge of the world,
He's hoping, wondering.
Thinking back on the stories he's heard of
What he's going to see.

This part is about him thinking about the stories he heard about afterlife and he's wondering about the things he will find out.

I think it's about death and afterlife. Just my two cents.
