It's a retelling of the legend of Don Juan. In the original, the Devil makes him pay for his dissolute life. In Townes's version, he carries in himself the seeds of his own destruction. The dual life of carousing by night and defiant regret by day is destroyed by the days merging with the nights, leaving him no escape from his pain.
Hogarth's Rake's Progress is another reference point.
This is a profound song. Leave the vampires for the kiddies.
@futatorius yuup . I know for a fact you're correct . I've asked people that knew him very well . Don Juan was one his favorite stories. These theories are wild. Some people have never read anything.
