Fumbling Towards Ecstasy Lyrics

... but what does the second stanza mean? "companion to our demons... chair, candle, and cloth.."?

Third Stanza - "Peace in the struggle to find peace" I think this line and the next refer to it being OK to be permiscuous. Sure, it might not be true love, but it might develop inot that, and if nothing else, it will remind you of what you are searching/fumbling towards.
