Anyone ever think that this song is about the boyfriend dying and he is singing to his girlfriend as a ghost/spirit from beyond the grave? Seems to make sense to me in both verses. The first verse was when he first died and is saying hello to his gf, sort of introducing her. "the shadow in the background of the morgue" could refer to when she came to identify his body. "The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley" means that she is a victim of death. Darkness in the valley means death such as the religious reference "valley of the shadow of death". The death is him specifically dying. Although he is dead, he is feeling optimistic that they as a couple will be ok. They could "live like Jack and Sally" (from the Nightmare before Christmas) and ..."we'll have Halloween on Christmas" could mean that they could hang out at night at the graveyard and have a good time. The second verse is when he realizes that them together forever will never happen. As time passes, she visits his grave less and less. He's sorry that he died. He cannot sleep or dream because he is dead. He stares at the living spiders inside his coffin trapping, killing, and eating things. This reminds him further that he is dead and she is not. The "voice of treason" means that she has moved on with her life and will not be his "Sally" anymore. After this, the chorus comes in and this means that he wants her to move on with her life and that he will never forget her. |
