no one fell asleep alone

By The Handsome Family

I saw a deer limp across
A supermarket parking lot
Last night as I drove home from work
Old men sleeping in the dirt

Abandoned buildings full of smoke
Children jumping from the roof
Cars in ditches leaking blood
Rivers full of drowning thugs

But as the sun fell between
The leaning buildings and the street
A moment came 'tween day and night
Painted soft in golden light

The crooked street shining cold
And no one fell asleep alone
No one fell asleep alone
No one fell asleep alone

What do you suppose Rennie means by "no one fell asleep
alone"? Are they not alone because they are haunted? Is it a
metaphor for dying, and we all die so we are not alone in
our fate? Or is it that you don't think of the lonely people
when you are with someone?

Beautiful song anyways... it's on the Twilight album.

Ah, or is it that I fell asleep alone and I am no one, a
nobody?

I think what the twat is trying to convey is that he is a
bible bashing knob who looks at all the horrible things in
life but feels smug and content that God will always be with
him.

Hehe, nice try but that's just the cliche that she's
twisting in her mean little hands.
