Also, "ultimate confection at Heaven's gate". What does that mean anyway?

Someone asked for the lyrics and I gave them what I hear. Only Meat could say exactly what word he has used, or indeed wrote.
As to what "ultimate confection at Heaven's gate" would mean .. to me given the emphasis in the verse on sugar, later on taste, and even the title Decadent Wish, which evokes all those delightful confections which include the word decadent, to me the phrase suggests the most perfect and delicious confection one could imagine in paradise. Whereas to me, "confessing" at the gates of Heaven would be a little tardy ;)
Not arguing that I'm right and you're wrong, to snatch another phrase from a superb album .. just explaining that imo there is as much poetry in what I hear as in what you hear.
