I can't be the only who sees that this probably has nothing to do with burglary. To me, it sounds like betrayal in a relationship.

I doubt any self respecting artist would choose "stabbed in the heart" to imply a literal stabbing.

"I grabbed the kitchen knife Couldn't stick it in No, Creeper had his own Shining in the moonlight"

Sounds like his defenses were up, but they didn't suffice... perhaps this means that the scenario left him so distraught that he was left listless.

" Right from the start i was stabbed in the heart Didn't know i wasn't breathing Didn't know i had been bleeding Open my door thought i was alone but Someone was hiding In the dark room in my home "

This could easily be about an affair. He didn't know it was happening. (didn't know he wasn't breathing)

i agree with you actually, that is the first thing i thought of.

although what i had in mind for this part of is a little different haha "I grabbed the kitchen knife Couldn't stick it in No, Creeper had his own Shining in the moonlight"

i thought he was refering to the crepper's sword as some sort of phallic symbol there. peeenis.
