My understanding is that songs are not written for the listener to know and understand the meaning of the song that the writer interpretes. Songs are written for us to make our own interpretations and understandings and to share them with one another. That is what makes a song truly beautiful.

I believe that this song is about the loss of innocence. Looking back on your life after you have truly suffered the deepest of pains. Wondering why in the world you were punished and tormented to the point that you can no longer see the world through the eyes of a blissful innocent child who believed that anything is possible and that the silver lining always remains. That the deep dark world has taken you completely and utterly to the depths of hell and there is no going back now. That child is long gone. Oh Lord why, the Angels fall first...
