This feels like a twisted story of Adam and Eve to me, with a dash of Romeo and Juliet mixed in. It starts at the end, with the two characters reflecting back on what happened. Adam and Eve ate from the tree in the garden of Eden, both of which are mentioned in the first verse. The shooting of the arrow is the hand of God, so to say, and they were punished for what they did.Instead of the apple getting the arrow, they did. Gloria, obviously invoking for God to listen, seeing as it is said at Mass. Then the chorus is where I start to think Romeo and Juliet, seeing as the lovers lie to their parents throughout the play, and the truth only comes out when they die. I think that the lovers in this song are an alternate Adam and Eve, where they are punished by death for their sin of eating the fruit.
p.s. I'm not Catholic. I'm not a religious fanatic. I'm a girl who has been in Catholic school for way too long.
