In this song, it is not much different. However, where other female characters have represented abstract ideas and problems, Lucy is a fictional woman who Slug used as a medium to discuss problems with numerous ex-girlfriends, without having to drop any real names.

Slug would later say:

When I look back on it, 10 years later, I’m like ‘Man, by no means were any of those women in my life really so bad that they deserved to be demonized.

Of course, this was long after his Lucy Ford EP’s..which, coincidentally, sounds a lot like Lucifer..
