It may just be that I've gone to Catholic school for 13 years and they pound this stuff into our skulls, but I immediately noticed the Creation, loss of innocence, original sin theme. Like dross said. Only, I think he was showing disbelief that Christians can actually accept that they are forever barred from paradise and are marked from birth.....and then Billy just goes into a few terrific verses about self-loathing......isn't it crazy that the same man who wrote Zero also started Zwan? Two totally different ends of the spiritual spectrum.

so did i i mean the first time i heard this song i thought it was billys point of view about the creation and the expulsion of Adam and Eva from Paradise...

I agree. Connected at the WRIST as supposed to the HEAD resembles being dragged into sin from birth.
