TheMunDial's comment brings up an interesting effect I find only with Duran2 songs- I like most of us grew up first getting these songs from the videos, prior to hearing them on tape or the radio. Between that and being pretty young at the time, you would have never asked what they meant. You were "told" through the video. But we now know there's no reason why the video had to be directly linked to what the song was about. Think about Hungry Like The Wolf- the video was an Indiana Jones type adventure, but the song was probably just about desire for a girl! |

I agree that it is odd that no one posts on these Duran Duran songs... has there ever been a better group for having obscure lyrics that scream out for interpretation? Case in point this song. I have listened to DD since the early 80's, and 20 years later I was listening to this riddle of a song the other night and a new meaning came to me. This song MIGHT actually be a clever way of describing a guy's frustrations when his girl is having her (I'll try to say this delicately) monthly cycle? I spent the cold day with a lonely satellite could reference watching (ahem) pay TV? Aren't those cycles linked to lunar cycles? Maybe when he's saying New Moon on Monday that means that's when his girlfriend will be back in play, so to speak? And that's when he'll "firedance through the night" which I have no idea what the heck a firedance is but that could easily be sexual. |
