I prefer it because I get extra verses (e.g., Early Morning Dreams), longer
songs, and no dialogue to drown out instrumental interludes that I want to
hear unimpeded!

Can't really help you with the interpretation, but I can refer you to parts
of Pete's book (Horse's Neck) where the song's lyrics pop up or are adapted.
 Check out pages 8 and 28; actually, reading from 25 to 28 helps.  But since
a couple of your other questions dealt with Psychoderelict, what connection
(if any) is there between the song "Athena" and the Psychoderelict
character--the woman who controls the Grid?
