i just don't know about this song. to be honest, i think there are many voices echoing throughout the lyrics. also it seems to reflect three worlds and the struggles within each: the mental, the "real" world, and the divine plain (as revealed through scripture).
on one side it could almost be a story of satan trying to save his world and all his people, only to be defeated. so in anguish, he curls back into the breast of mother babylon and into the lake of fire forever. but even stranger, going on the notion of satan, there is sympathy for him in that it breaks this other character's (jesus?) heart that he must kill him.
my favorite part is the last line. to me, personally, it is a warning not to hold on to your childhood or doom is upon you. even more, don't be afraid to grow up. and scary violin crescendos to a not so pleasant ending.
