My favorite song on the whole album. Clearly the references are biblical. Although things in the bible can be interpreted so many ways...so I don't know that the meaning is locked into anything because of the reference.
I think it is about someone sad/depressed....so much so that the 'wandering stars' (perhaps, as someone said, demons) are ENVIABLE. She's so upset that even an existence like that is more desirable than hers.
"Like a husk, from which all that was, now has fled"
I think that is how she feels...a husk is them empty void that WAS a full, alive piece of corn. She feels empty, and ueseless....but she wants still to be emptier, like the wandering stars. she doesn't want to be.
God, this song is soooooooo beautiful, even though it's very fatalistic.
