what's the "slit a purse" action all about?

I think it's a reference to self-harm and suicidal tendencies. I think he's trying to rationalise his fear of death here - if he's tried and/or wanted to kill or hurt himself in the past, he's telling himself that he shouldn't be afraid of death coming to him. He muses on mortality a lot on this new record.

I think it's talking about sinning. What's done is done, he slit some purses and stole and his path is set (inner vains are mapped/cake is cooked). He just needs to accept what's coming to him.

It's a reference to sex. Think about it.
