But another way to view this song could be about drug use. "The black wings carry me so high, up to meet you in the sky" maybe he's talkin about getting high with friends. "Disconnected by your smile" perhaps another metaphor for the drugs and the line about disconnect a million miles may be about how the drug makes him feel like he's completely alienated from the rest of life. I don't know if Billy did drugs, not saying he did, so don't waste time trying to argue that point, just saying it's another way of looking at it for some of you out there. Personally i stick with my first opinion. I may be way off in both, only Billy truly knows what he was singing about. He's a great artist, though, and this song is beautifully tragic, no two ways about that fact. Take it easy and enjoy the music...
heheh, I know I write a lot... sorry...
