Black Swan Lyrics
I thought at this hour, any pleasure, could never really be a sin in vain
One hundred and one shots of opportunity, I'd gladly take them all again and again, and again
My Angel's left me, sorrows are my own
Now I'm here, with the Devil on my own
Just like a churchyard shadow, creeping after me
It's only there to terrify my mind, a black swan keeps haunting me
I promised on my soul, not to get carried away
It always starts out psychedelic, and then it turns to black
My head starts swaying, I forgot what it was that I was saying
I don't know where I am, and I'll never, never make it back
I sealed my fate, and I paid my debt
I fell from grace with deep regret
My Angel's left me, sorrows are my own
And now I'm here, with the Devil on my own
Just like a churchyard shadow, creeping after me
It's only there to terrify my mind, a black swan keeps haunting me
Just like a churchyard shadow, there's nothing left to see
It's only there to terrify my mind, a black swan keeps haunting me
My Angel's left me, sorrows are my own
Now I'm here, with the Devil on my own, on my own
Just like a churchyard shadow, creeping after me
It's only there to terrify my mind, a black swan keeps haunting me
Just like a churchyard shadow, there's nothing left to see
It's only there to terrify my mind, a black swan keeps haunting me
Just like a churchyard shadow, creeping after me
There's nothing left to see, There's nothing left of me
One hundred and one shots of opportunity, I'd gladly take them all again and again, and again
Now I'm here, with the Devil on my own
Just like a churchyard shadow, creeping after me
It's only there to terrify my mind, a black swan keeps haunting me
It always starts out psychedelic, and then it turns to black
My head starts swaying, I forgot what it was that I was saying
I don't know where I am, and I'll never, never make it back
I fell from grace with deep regret
And now I'm here, with the Devil on my own
Just like a churchyard shadow, creeping after me
It's only there to terrify my mind, a black swan keeps haunting me
Just like a churchyard shadow, there's nothing left to see
It's only there to terrify my mind, a black swan keeps haunting me
Now I'm here, with the Devil on my own, on my own
Just like a churchyard shadow, creeping after me
It's only there to terrify my mind, a black swan keeps haunting me
Just like a churchyard shadow, there's nothing left to see
It's only there to terrify my mind, a black swan keeps haunting me
There's nothing left to see, There's nothing left of me

It's about drugs, Dave is talking about being high and going through psychedelia, blacking out, and memory loss.
It also says ''I promised my soul not to get carried away.'' He promised himself he wouldn't get carried away with the drugs, but he did. So he regrets it in a way. ''On my own.''
The drugs chased away his loved ones.
The song graphs a course from a drug high to a low.
The phrase black swan reminds me that historically it was thought that all swans were white and that finding a black swan was a surprising event. Maybe the addict looks forward to the high and forgets then gets surprised by the low.
It also reminds me of inductive categorical inference, seeing a white swan and assuming incorrectly that all swans are white. A single black swan is all that's required to disprove the statement that all swans are white.
I'm not sure of the meaning of the lyrics..
MEGADETH ! So Awesome song !
