He does his best to try to stay away, but eventually gives in. The demons get the best of her and she heads off to use. He's in love with a girl who probably isn't good for him as she has her demons as well. I see this song being sung from the Man/Narrators perspective. The final verse of the song has taken on a different meaning as is noted by the sad tone of "i'm going back." The narrartor is once again tempted (perhaps by both the drugs and the girl)and heads back as he gives in to his demons The narrator realizes what he has done and does his best to get out of the situation as fast as he can/trys to get as far away from it as he can. Both of them are now 'loaded'(this term is often used when high on heroin) They fall off to sleep as everything begins to move slow, another reference to being high on heroin. The narrator who has attempted to stay away, is now tempted and joins the 'queen' The figure in the doorway shouldering the blame is the drug dealer, He provided the goods but is only known as a dealer therefore is "a saint without a name" Character's demons still get the best of itself(the devil is 'winning'). In this part of the song the verse means I know I shouldn't be here, turn around and get me out of here Paints the picture of a bad/lonely place ![]() The character is about to 'take the dare' of something bad "save a dream for me" is referring to her knowing she's taking the wrong path - wishes she'd lead a different life "Save a dream for me/ words hang in the air / her demons take the dare"
