this is about a girl whose family disaproves of her drug use. she doesnt mention addiction in their company, she has to hide who she really is. she pulls the shades down tight when she comes out as herself so no one will see her. she is so used to the pain of hiding herself, she smiles when the pain comes. bc the makes her stronger, and everything alright. she'd rather be an orphan than have her family that doesnt accept her. the one person she loved that her family accepted was the little boy. and the cross represents jesus, who she hasnt met yet. but she talks to angels, which could be the drug dealers or just the reality of everything
I believe Piper is pretty much on target. I think the pulling the shades down tight is more in reference to hiding her addiction, and when the pain comes might refer to shooting up, the pin-prick... the pain makes everything alright... it makes her high. When he say's "She dont know no lover, none that I've ever seen... and to her it means nothing, but to me its everything" I think he's saying she doesnt prostitute herself for drugs, and he's proud of her for it. The cross is from someone she hasn't met, not yet... when they say 'not...

The cross is from someone she hasn't met, not yet... when they say 'not yet' it makes it sound like soon... like the addiction will soon kill her... Fantastic song, beautiful, despite a deep dark underlying meaning, which is very apparent, it's obviously about some sort of drug addiction. Pretty sure the angels that call her by her name are drug dealers that all know her well...
Oh, and the paints her eyes as black as night... I think that's figurative, everyone knows that heroin addicts get coon eyes after they've been at it for a while..

"A story about a very sad person, a sad but beautiful girl. Though it's loosely based on someone I know, it could be about a lot of people who are addicted. Everyone's been there or knows someone who's there right now." (Chris) "But there's no message about morals in the song." (Rich) "It's not my job to handle people's morals. Morality's your own business." (Chris)

Straight from the horses mouth. It's a generalized song. So, all of you who think that you've got the song meaning exact and are so full of yourself for doing so, their is no exact meaning.
As a side note, those of you who just say "Oh, this song is great" or "I love this song" so does everyone else commenting on it. Otherwise, why would we waste our time doing it? If you don't have anything informative to say, don't waste my time having to sift through all the garbage you write
