"By grace, my sight grows stronger
And I do not feel the romance I will not be
and I will not be a pawn for the prince of darkness any longer"
Come one people, this is clearly a profession of Christian faith. She has decided to walk in the light of the Lord , which only happens through grace, and not be a pawn for Satin.
Metiforically she uses a relationship with a man, to discribe her earthly struggles, and the larger battle of virtue/faith VS sin/non belief.

Someones on the bathroom floor doing her cocaine"
There is so much Christian allegory in this album it is shocking, and how not a single person has mentioned it is bewildering.
Emily Saliers of the Indigo Girls wrote this song. In 2006, she told us: "That was written a long, long time ago. Sometimes when I think about that song, it feels pretty adolescent to me.

So it's about light and darkness, and how darkness, you can feel sometimes like it almost is going to pull you under But there are people in your life who can save you, and not just my parents, but friends or support systems. In the end, it's an affirmative statement - I'm not going to be a pawn for the prince of darkness. I have the strength to find my light rather than to dwell in my darkness."
