After listening to the demo track of this, a good portion of the lyrics have changed as well as the musical pattern within.
There are multiple people "participating" in this song. First guy is Jim, who is a Vietnam vet (lyrics in demo version), and is reduced to literally nothing.
Second is a girl who was a victim of abuse or even perhaps rape from her foster father (took my innocence away).
Third person is an individual who cannot say their name.
At the very beginning of the demo version of the song, Jon says "I'm going drinkin'"
This leads me to believe this could be taking place in a bar early in the week (unchaotic, usually filled with those whose lives are attached to the bottle, but often willing to open up their own pandoras boxes of life).
Three very different lives all significantly affected in some way, drowning their sorrows in alcohol, contemplating life, but with a slim glimmer of hope left (Saturday night).
