Also the line "Boy, they're gonna eat you alive" refers to the death of Orpheus.

Orpheus was torn apart by a group of women called Maenads under the orders of Dionysus, after Orpheus had renounced all gods but Apollo.

Dionysus was the Greek god of the grape harvest, winemaking and wine, of ritual madness and ecstasy.

Apollo, Orpheus' only god, was a god of light, the sun, truth, prophecy, healing, plague, music and poetry.
