Lyric discussion by dross 

"[T]he working title for 'Gimme Fiction' was 'The Beast and Dragon, Adored,' which is also the name of the lead-off track. It's a phrase that Daniel found in a book of French tapestries; one of them was called 'Apocalypse: The Beast and Dragon Adored.'"

I think that the song has to do with realizing that the world may not end, so you need to pick yourself up and get on with life again.
