Very interesting reading.

I always thought this song was about death and the human fear of death.

I thought 'she' was a reference to death which is 'a perfect creature, natural in every feature and the only way'.

Whereas the 'geek with the alchemist stone' was humanity's struggle to accept the enivitability and deeper spiritual purpose of death.

I thought that 'for having left the path of others you find a very special hand' was referring to spiritual life after death (god's hand, whatever god may be).

Anyway that was just what I thought but now i'm thinking I have misinterpreted the song - or may it's just open to many interpretations. Regardless, I love this song!
