Well, well, well. If it isn't a lyrical labyrinth of love and loss! Our dear friend Damien is wrestling with the aftermath of a romantic misdemeanour. The '9 Crimes' here are metaphorical, symbolising his guilt and regret over ending a relationship prematurely to start another. The gun represents his love or commitment - loaded, yet given away. He's asking if it's 'alright' to surrender his feelings when they're at their peak. The repeated question suggests he's seeking validation for his actions but knows deep down he won't find any solace in them. It's a poignant reminder that love isn't a switch you can flick off when things get tough; it lingers like the last note of a melancholy melody, echoing long after the song has ended.
