It's about degeneration and hope, kinda reflective of how Lanegan sees his life. Well about the addiction people fall around the hopefulness of their own life.Twilight falls and we go again... It's better to be a willow that bends towards the end of the day and accept that you have to do this, drink, cut cocaine, prostitutes, things that makes you feel sick about yourself, than fight it and break. The antisocial blackbird just doesn't fit around the rest of the society, it's funny but he feels he fits in more around these parts.
but one day there will be salvation from this horrible island he has been marooned in. He does not know when or how, but there is hope. there's no real reason to believe that things will change. But, it's his dream, in a way it's his sedative, how he numbs the pain, it's not a crime apparently, to hope.
And finally when that day comes, maybe he can take some positive thing out of all this misery. Something right, something bright. But his life is fading away and withers, and as he wishes, like the cigarette that withers in to ashes. the only companionship is the working girl on the street.it's just business, and he has other business, all of this is transient. But it's the only real companionship he has; and he will stay here, it seems, longer than he or society think he will remain.
Then Lanegan speaks to you. Are you so different from me? you also wait for this ship.
