Cover art for Athena lyrics by Marry Me Jane

This seems like it could have several meanings to me... first off, the name Athena. She is a Greek goddess of wisdom and war, isnt' she? Could this be significant to this Athena's character?

And then the crimson river she is following... blood? Are they committing suicide together- is this a lesbian relationship? I get the feeling that it is somehow- "nothing really makes sense, never had it on my wish list, it caught me by surprise, all we needed was a river to follow and fall on"... anyone else think this might be a lesbian relationship between singer and Athena? adn "hiding in the open, standing by my side"... a friend she never thought of as more until one day?

Then the sea of wine... is this Athena a habitual alcoholic, is she perhaps drinking herself to death? This I think is unlikely... lol, I have thoroughly confused myself.
