Into the alley
With my hurrying hands
Over the ocean
With my clouded head
Under the lady
With her swaying sin
I am elated
with my coloring

Here's to the ages
And my place in time
Woe to the lonesome
Holding my place in line
And to the sadists
Coming on so straight
I can't relate it
To anything you can say

And outside a candle light
Yes I know who's inside
I hear what you're saying now
You've painted a picture
And pretty well..

    This seems to be about a sexual addiction.

    A cursory search of "Blooden" brings up references to succubi, the temptresses of lore that were said to seek semen to proliferate. I'm not sure what the "Horse" part brings to the title, so I'll leave that to others to elaborate on, but a horse was used for travel and getting places quickly, so I'm going with that for now.

    Seeking casual sex with women (cis or trans--take your pick there) or intimacy with prostitutes is seen by some as cutting to the chase. "Place in line" seems to reference those who wait to find the right person. Practically and statistically, most people--regardless of gender--prefer a relationship in which the sex is good. For this majority, sexual compatibility is not necessarily the most important thing, but it is still important. For others, it is the only thing worth considering at all, and they will seek this any way they can have it.

    The lyrics seem to say that the first person in the song is going "into the alley with my hurried hands," feeling "over the ocean with my clouded head," in his (presumed--Dan sings this one) pursuit of his place "under the lady with her swaying sin."

    He knows he is fortunate for being able to partake of what he wants and how he wants it without judgment or persecution in "my place in time." He is probably submissive, but not masochistic. He knows what he wants, and he loves how it is sold to him and what it will mean to him.

    Of course, this could all be metaphoric in some way--perhaps a spiritual one, with sexuality "subbing" (see what I did there?) for some other higher-level subject matter for them. Or, I could just have too dirty a mind to deal with this song in any other way.
