This song shows the singer (now in the lower world of the damned) becoming increasingly disillusioned with his former life as he lived on earth. His worldly complacency and satisfaction has gained this part of his soul absolutely nothing. In fact his pious pride was a main cause of his fall. |
And I only hoped to do nice things for ever more And I knew Or I thought I knew Because I knew all the things I ever had to know And I was full well satisfied I was always true
But it turned upside down
Now Im living it down
