I think Piper's is right on about this being a song about a girl's addiction (to drugs).
The lyrics,
"She paints her eyes as black as night now
She pulls those shades down tight
She gives a smile when the pain comes
The pain gonna' make everything alright"
In my opinion, pain is the drug she uses (possibly heroin?)
I also agree with Piper about the meaning of "And the cross from someone she has not met" (God)
"Not yet" (Meaning she's soon to succumb to her addiction?)
BUT why does she have a lock of the boy's hair? I gather she talks to angels (and they call her by her name) because she's soon to leave this earth. Maybe the angels are the drugs that will lead her to be with angels (as we know them). Just a guess.
I feel she lost a childand that is where the lock of hair is from. The little boy. She cannot escape the pain of that loss. The only way is to get as far away from it as possible, literally out of her mind.

The hair is from one of the angels, her son who died. The drug use is to hide the pain.

i totally agree and it is about heroin. I know several ex heroin attics and druggies who will tell you that the song is about heroin.
