Cover art for City Escape lyrics by Dear Hunter, The

no, im pretty sure this song is merely about her life as a prostitute.

battesimo del fuoco is the childs birth "to cast her back to hell again".. she can now continue to work the streets.

i used to think that this was when the child found out that his mom was a prostitute, untill casey told me that he doesnt find that out untill the 2nd half of the 2nd album.

im pretty sure this is just a discription and a hint towards us as the listeners that she is a prostitute... but is still hidden to her child.
