I think this is from Adams perspective. I think after he realises all the cruelty in the world he loses faith in everything and turns to suicide. Marilyn compares him to a her, a scared little girl.
She's got her eyes open wide
She's got the dirt and spit of the world
Adams eyes are wide open. He is scared. He has all the bad things in the world, the spit, the dirt, in his mind.
Her mouth on the metal
His mouth on the gun in his mouth, also might relate to the cover, Marilyns mouth broken off symbolising the quietness people forced him, and adam, into.
I've got an angel in the lobby
He's waiting to put me in line
I won't ask forgiveness
My faith has gone dry
He has accepted that he will go to hell, he just doesnt care or have faith to try and change it because hes so tired.
She's got her Christian prescriptures
And death has crawled in her ear
Like elevator music of songs
That she shouldn't hear
Christianity from the modern world has forbid suicide
But the idea is already in his head and planned.
He should have never even thought of such a sinful thing.
And it spins around 1... 2... 3
Gun turning
And we all lay down 4... 5... 6
This is where i think of the columbine massacre.
The kids have decided to kill the school and shoot themselves. (like adam)
and everyone lays down to avoid the flying bullets.
Some do it fast
a quick shoot to the head
Some do it better in smaller amounts
We are all in the shadow of death, killing ourselves slowly instead of quick.
