Welll...what does this song MEAN?

I don't know what it means.Obviously Ddadutta's right about it being a plea for help.It's one of their best songs and also like Still Life one of their most underappreciated.I know Lamia was a figure in Greek mythology.How that relates to him crying out for help I don't exactly know.

as tyranny souls said, it's a 'plea for help', a begging for forgiveness
