The song was written specifically for the movie. Robert Smith actually read The Crow comic books while he was penning it. There are lines taken from the comic that are not distinctly mentioned in the movie:
scream the animal scream
and...
dream the crow black dream
It's quite literally about Eric Draven of the comic books, and I think it's quite commendable that The Cure chose to use the actual comic material in writing it. But generally, I see this song as one as despair. There is no hope glimmering through these lines, it just represents a miserable existence thrust upon the subject of the song. It's loneliness, it's pain, it's fury. No wonder it suits The Crow so perfectly.
I love this song.... It has a lot of meaning to me and the things that I like about the movie. It can't really apply to anything else in my opinion....
