It does seem to be about one of John Doe's frolicks, excepting the stanza about Avalokitesvara which seems to be about David renouncing Buddhism. And also perhaps the stanzas dealing with the birds and their deaths, which seem very revelations or perhaps TS Eliotesque. I think a lot of things are happening at once in this song, the narrative is jumping between different viewpoints. A very beautiful and horrifying song.
