“So yeah, it's a fire / It's a goddamn blaze in the dark”
Angela & Uncle Jerry note that the 'blaze in the dark' could be interpreted as black fire, which is mentioned in Milton's Paradise Lost as the fire of hell. Uncle Jerry connects this to the illicit love affair in the song, an affair that might take someone to hell. The connection is presented as one possible reading among several.
