Apparently nothing, nevertheless Nick embraces us all with unique Magic, and an ultimately positivism the world and modern society, surely needs and deserves.
I come from a family with a long history of being employed as pit coal miners. Our backs are broad and out shoulders muscular like we were bred for it. I am the first generation born that has not gone down the shaft to dig. And when I look around the poor side of town I live in you can still see our heritage everywhere. Young men who look just like me with backs for swinging a pickaxe and hauling sacks. The coal dust 50 years later is still here, its in the woods where the mines were and its one every old building like its ingrained into the facades. Its insane to think that I live atop graves of those involved in the multiple mining disasters that hit the area who were never recovered.
I always saw this song as a metaphor for living a life of sin, while also being in a much more literal sense, warning of the dangers of working in a mine.
I only thought of the song as a metaphor to be honest, since it describes how someone with greed is blind (both ways), not knowing and does not want to see...
Truth that's also what its about as Johnny accepted christ as lord by the time this video was put out.... and every lyric in here reminds you of hell ( dark as a dungeon) though also a song of redemption....

My granddad got electrocuted, never got to meet him. That was the last of our family in the mines. I’m grateful for my heritage, but also grateful we got out.
