We were too wasted to close the window
Friends and family looking in to my only hiding place
The rhythm of a strangers skin
(I think this is a metaphor but it does concern her sleeping with random strangers. She feels most comfortable sleeping around and feeling the rhythm of a strangers skin.)
Infidel to die for
What I am doing
Will happen in the morning
When the mirror won't recognize me
(She feels like she's going against religion by sleeping around. Even worse she's going against herself. When she wakes up in the morning and looks in the mirror she won't recognize what she's become)
He holds a certain gesture
When we're loving
to ask each other
Do you want it
Do you want me
I want it, it is you
You are where I want to be
(She looks for love or reassurance in the throws of sexual contact. She associates love with sex so she hopes these people love her. 'You are where I want to be' is such a sad, fleeting feeling because when they're done she isn't where he wants to be anymore.)
Who is he? (oh)
Why would I (do)
Hitch a ride? (the)
I can drive. (twist)
Who is she? (oh)
Why would I (do)
Hitch a ride (the)
When I can drive. (twist)
(I think this talks about how she goes home with other people even though she drove herself. Perhaps she's thinking of excuses why she needs to leave with them)
Somebody put me back in school
I forget everything
I used to know
How to leave the boy behind
Without having to watch him go
(She sleeps with these people and before she used to be able to do it effortlessly but now she starts to care about them because this is the closest she has to a relationship. She doesn't know how to kick the boy out in the morning without watching him through the window.)
(I understand the story of the song but I still don't understand the relevence of 'The Twist' but maybe the twist is just a metaphor for sex)
