| I think this is the simplest, yet most powerful song about a failed relationship ever written. | |

I think this one is about a doomed relationship. He feels deep down that their time together is running out (which is what I think the river running dry line is about).He chooses to live for the moment and stay in the realtionship until the inevitable end, even though he sees they're going towards it full speed (maybe that's why the scene of the incident is a car on a highway, going faster than ever before: he sees the end coming clearer than ever). If so, this is indeed a very sad song. |

Well I see this song from quite a different prespective. The lyrics clearly describe a sexual encounter, however I think the song is about revenge. She used to mean a lot to him in the past, but somehow let him down, so he seduces her all over again just to end up sadistically announcing to her that it meant absolutely nothing and he just used her to get off. I think the way he sings - almost whispering some of the lyrics with an evil tone, while brutally spitting out others, shows bitterness, cynicism and subterranean hate rather than desire for another person. Also the atmosphere of the song is sinister, melancholic and vicious rather than sexual or inviting. "It's what men in stained raincoats pay for": he compares what just happened between them to the cheapest of porn. "Oh, what a hell of a show But what I want to know What exactly do you do for an encore?": he sarcastically tells her to her face that she was nothing but a pleasurable yet meaningless sexual object to him. All in all to me this is about emotionless sex for the purpose of belittling the other person and feeling superior:"There is no way back for you Oh this is Hardcore This is me on top of you And I can't believe it took me this long". Anyway it's a gorgeous song either way. |

The incredible thing about this song is,you can tell she's gone and he misses her so badly by the whole atmosphere and the background sound.Like you can actually feel her absence haunt him .Anyone agree?? |
