I've heard several interesting theories on the meaning of this song. One line in particular, "I want to stitch my clothes in sin and in the dark", has raised a lot of suspicion as to whether or not the song's about a secret extra-marital affair. (Stitch my clothes being a reference to a scarlet letter). Certainly other lines such as "Just one time, one time, let my body do what it feels", "I want to find that door and go within", and "Let this fantasy become real" back up that theory quite nicely.
Also, if I may be frank, one of the first things that came to mind when I heard this song is that it's likely about a very specific sexual act that the lyricist wants to fulfill that his lover refuses him. He's saying he's not afraid to let her see this side of him, a side which may be primal and kinky. He's sort of pleading with his lover in this song to let him fulfill this sexual fantasy of his, but his unspoken lover seems apprehensive and maybe too conservative to indulge him.
To me, the latter seems like the more likely. In the beginning, Darren is being sweet and loving, and then gradually he gets more and more frustrated and pleading, which makes me believe there's something deeply naughty he wants that he ain't getting!
