it sounds to me like an abusive father forcing his way of thinking on his son.he tells him the things that hurt him(heaven=god;flowers=beauty;and of course women) are all bad. the boy, not understanding,sees the things his father rages about differently. "dont ride in starlight" dont be happy, "dont hide in doorways..." he hears things standing at his fathers door that hurts him, and "dont dream of women..." is pretty straight forward.his father is abusive because he "hears" him telling him that "im the stranger"he tells him that "im darkness, im anger, im pain". "im master, the evil song you sing inside your brain" is the boys hateful thoughts about his father. i accept no other explanation.
