Oh shit, just realized some more stuff. In this story, Lazarus get's sick, dies. Same as the Bible story. (Duh.) But I thought it was suicide. Now I'm not so sure. Looking back over the lyrics, it seems to be that the unnamed character was sick, dies, and the narrator hears of the death at 6:30 am, on the 8th of Nov, '94. Then, the funeral is 12 hours later...?
I'm not sure. It might also be drugs. I mean, for me, the image of "Woke up panicked, sweating, with a mouth full of vomit" makes me think drugs or alcohol. He says it's a sickness, but how does someone end someone else's life thru an illness?
I don't know. It's late, and I'm tired. I'll think about this more tomorrow morning...
