Welcome, maggiesox! I was just about to go dig up the lyrics and see what I could make of it all, so your interpretation is appreciated. I didn't know, well, any of that about the song.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I dug a little more (Also much thanks to maggie!) and found out some about apocolyptic biblical imagry too.

Welcome, Maggiesox! This is the right place to talk about BSG (among other shows).
And I love Claudia Black like nobody's business, but Claudia, honey--you gotta work on that accent. It's still wrong.
I feel bad for her--she's so awesome and yet she has so much trouble with an American accent.

I think her American is better than Ben's SebaceanAustralish.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I may be opening a can of worms, here, but it seems to me that Chief and the others were quick to identify themselves as Cylons. Is it possible that the answer to who/what they are isn't quite so simple?

Hi, maggiesox, and welcome! That interpretation of the song is going to give me a lot to chew on for the ::BIG!SIGH:: next 9 months or so.
I feel like I have to rewatch the last four episodes before I have a more coherent opinion. Until then I'm going with chrismg:
"And now, if you give us TEN MONTHS to THINK REAL HARD, we'll explain how this all MAKES SENSE!"

Now that I've had a few minutes to think about it, I'm formulating a theory where it turns out that Bob Dylan is the fifth Cylon.
I may need more caffeine.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I think they are Cylons, but that the Final Five are a different sort of Cylon than the 7 we've already met. The screener I saw a few weeks ago didn't have the effects finished, so I didn't realize that they were AT the nebula when the "switch" was flipped and they all woke up -- I'd already been assuming that the Final Five were connected to Earth (because of the song - I can't remember another instance of a real-life song from Earth being used in the show), and now I'm sure of it. The music gets increasingly louder the closer they get to the nebula (and therefore Earth), and I think it's being close to Earth that activated them.
