J3tski33 - I like your analysis - it's a great metaphor - monarchy/power/youth. But what are the real lyrics - on this page it says "I know Saint Peter won't call my name. But when I listen to it I can't tell if it's won't or will. Only mention that cause if it is "won't" then the 'older wiser' thing doesn't mesh as well with your read on the song. I Don't know which are the right lyrics. Either way I think you're right on with the meaning. It's nice to wake up and see a dynamic and compelling interpretation.
