I'm thinking the title of this song is kind of key to what its about. And the rest of the song seems to go along with this theory.
That he is saying that maybe he likes the darkness too much and likes to be wasted away.
That the purity (light) is too much for him (sharpened edge - it cuts right through him).
The opening line(s) tends to explain it more clearly:
"Free from the torment of sin
All of this I’m giving up much as
The sun would decide to give in
Explode into orange"
Sounds like a "when pigs fly" statement. Or maybe he's implying something deeper...
When he gives up sin is when the sun explodes.
Wow, orangepee... that was a really good analogy. I just read your post just now! It definitely goes along with what I'm conveying.
the "much as The sun would decide to give in Explode into orange" lines are not really a "when pigs fly" thing. All stars will eventually explode into Supernovas and the sun will be no exception, I think he's referring to it as more of an inevitability to him giving those things up. I also think that the things he is referring to has more to do with a religious faith that he feels he can no longer identify with.
