wow - very insightful charlatansin or whatever yr name is. i never thought of that. like a suicide threat song! he contemplated it but now he;s coming back. and he is the wounded kite - shot down but still gonna fly!

i always thought it was about a guy who was a liar and a (very good) bullshitter - who is unable to commit - and who nearly ended up getting married (chew the ring).

but parts never made sense (like the heavy coat, the trigger cut - another suicide reference).

now i get it - he;s a bullshitter who was betrayed and nearly offed himself but is now determined to bounce back!

hats off to you charlatan sin!

that's my (real) email address, by the way - ex_magician
