Who's going to drink my blood Now that you're gone Who's going to right all my wrongs Now that you're gone Who's going to tear my flesh with a siren song Now that you're gone Woaahh Now that you're gone

If it is in reference to Jesus, my interpretation is that he feels as if God has abandoned him and with this in the first verse he is saying who will drink my blood (his sins) referencing the last supper where Jesus tells the disciples to drink the wine and eat the bread which are his blood and body shed and broken for us all.

In communion we drink the juice which symbolizes Jesus's blood shed for all, and through this we remember what he did and why: dying for OUR sins making us right with God. , and "right my .

If Jesus is out of his life who's going to "drink my blood" "right my wrongs". He bore our sins when he died for us and righted our every wrong in life and in doing so took our punishment.

As for the "Who's going to tear my flesh with a siren song" i can only interpret this as his referencing the Bible and the descriptions of the floggings etc. (you've all seen "The Passion") siren song. sirens call you in to harm, not sure here but he willingly (although he was afraid and asked if there was another way in Gethsemane) handed himself over, to a certainly known death.

Funny how things can be interpreted so differently by each persons own paradigm
