There's something really touching in the line "I've borrowed your time and I'm sorry I called, but the thought just occured we're nobody's children at all". That could make me cry.

@Angie_is_my_name he’s so philosophical- he’s thinking about meaning, as he can’t help it. It’s who he is. And it is the Truth, no? We’re nobody’s children that’s all. After all. In the big picture after many lifetimes. Who’s children are we? Depends. I totally disagree that anything about the song is Satanic!
