I do not believe he specifically talking about a heroine addict he knew necessarily in the first verse. I gather that he is eluding to careless needles in general and how people
who use them must not value there life if they would throw it away like that. They are fearless people, maybe more like foolish really is what it comes down to, or their life is so messed up, they
feel it isn't worth living anymore.
(Forceful ageing,
Help me I'm fading.
Heaven's waiting,
It's time to move on.}
I think this verse is the person who is dying of a disease (such as cancer, alcholism or drug addiction),
coming to terms with accepting their condition and that they're going to die but at the same time a part of them is still reaching
out for help of any kind to get them through.
{Crossing that bridge,
With lessons I've learned.
Playing with fire,
And not getting burned.
I may not know what you're going through.
But time is the space,
Between me and you.
Life carries on... it goes on.}
This verse is the person whom the dying one is asking for help,
saying the dying person that they too have been carelessly living (Playing with fire) and through
watching what they're going through, they are now realizing they need to move on from their careless ways (crossing that bridge) and be more cautious and value life more
than they have. (With lessons I've learned).
Realizing seeing their friend this way, has made them realize how mortal we all are. So he says (But time is the space,
Between me and you.) Meaning we are not all that are from death, in reality, you could die tomorrow.
{Just say die,
And that would be pessimistic.
In your mind,
We can walk across the water.
Please don't cry,
It's just a prayer for the dying.
I just don't know what's got into me.}
Here the person who's watching their friend as they're dying is contemplating the word die, saying yes it's a pessimistic
word, for even his friend as he's dying is having visions of the next life (n your mind, we can walk across water).
He's then saying to his dying friend {Please don't cry,
It's just a prayer for the dying.
I just don't know what's got into me} Meaning he doesn't want his friend to be sad about whats happening to them, he wants
them to not cry, that he's praying for them with every fiber of his being. That is prayer is a spiritual one that seems to be permeating
from deep within his own soul.
(I just don't know whats got into me)
{There is a light through that window
...light through that window...
Hold on say yes, while people say no
Life carries on
...on on on...
Ohh!
It goes on....oh-ee-oh, whoa-ee-oh ho oh...}
This verse is continuing with the spiritual journey the friend of the dying person is now going on, the enlightenment he's
experiencing as this prayer emits itself from his soul. He is overcome with the realization of life on the other side, that death is not the end, but in a sense, another beginning.
(There is a light through that window
...light through that window...)
{When nothing else matters.
When nothing else matters.
I just don't know what's got into me.
It's just a prayer for the dying.
...dying dying dying dying...
For the dying.}
At this piont the person who's seeing their friend at the most fatal stages of their dying is stating to te friend and to themselves
that nothing else matters to their friend at this stage accept the next life as that is the fate thats been assigned to them by their god, and he spiritually will continue to pray that they do reach that next stage
safely into that next life, their new journey.
(It's just a prayer for the dying.
...dying dying dying dying...
For the dying.)
This analysis I have done in dedication to someone very important to in my life, who's on the verge of dying and can go any day now as I type this.
