This song is about the death of a sheltered kid that left home and got swept up in life. You can hear the euphoria of the kid leading up to his demise in a cheap hotel room... "hey mom, hey dad... i'm rad"... Like he was writing his parents a letter to tell them how great his new life is, but suddenly he OD's and "every road leads to the church" (for his funeral)...
Sad song, but thoughtful and passionate as always... I love it.
When I say "this song IS about...", what I really mean is "this is what the song means to me personally"... I long ago gave up on deciphering what caper's lyrics originally were intended to mean. My own take on the lyrics is a lot more important to me, and I'm selfish and lazy...
