By Starlight and psychopathy
Is Billy writing about a twisted guy who just murdered a gal?
Dead eyes, dead eyes And are you just like me? Her eyes, her eyes were as Vacant as the seas, yeah Dead eyes, dead eyes Are you just like me? It's as if this guy is sitting by the beach at night staring at a corpse and at her dead eyes wondering if she's his soulmate, having murdered her after she rejected him. And does she really know me at last? No, I am by no means implying Billy is writing about himself. But any good artist knows how to write from other people's perspectives. |

this is as literal a take as the folks who wouldn't play "Disarm" back in the day because it was literally about cutting children

As sad and depressing as your inability to properly punctuate a dependent clause?
