"Fallen angels in the night And everyone is far from heaven" ..should be: "...And everyone is barred from heaven"

LOVE this song!! i love how Brian's opening "The payback is here" and his catchy "slow motion suicide".. I imagine an attempt at suicide to be quick with as little pain as possible, but a "slow motion suicide" implies a prolonged suffering or a slow death that someone is bringing onto themself. I feel this other individual had a caustic nature about them, and now, like freckle93 said, Brian's getting his revenge.

Can someone please explain his use of numbers in this song! like: "Just one more hit to make it right, But every one turns into seven" and "Now that's it's snowing in your brain, Even ten will not placate you" I really don't get these parts :(.. Thank you in advance!!

I understand the numbers to refer to drug addiction. You take "one more hit" to make you feel good, to forget about your problems "to make it right". But you can't stop there, it feels so good you have to do it again, so every time you have just one more hit, it ends up being more like seven "but every one turns into seven". "Now that it's snowing in your brain" is describing what it feels like after taking so much of whatever drug. "Even ten will not placate you" - not even ten hits will make you feel...

I think the same about the drug part (: And i really think is "and everyone is far from heaven" xD
