Frankmusik – 3 Little Words Lyrics 16 years ago
In addition to this, I believe he is saying "Play for time, and you might understand" (not "plead" for time).

The idea being, instead of having a very passionate relationship that will end sooner, he wants her to look at it from a time or duration standpoint. I.E. The relationship will last longer if they don't get serious. So she will understand his motives if she "plays for time" instead of playing for passion.

Frankmusik – 3 Little Words Lyrics 16 years ago
The chorus is:

'cuz you won't hear it now,
and you won't hear it then,
"I love you", no.
the three words that begin
WHAT (not when) three words always end.

The song is about two people who are friends and clearly attracted to one another, but the singer is hesitant to get into a serious relationship because he's worried it will fail and he will lose his friend. In other words, getting into a serious relationship by saying the tree words "I love you", will inevitably fail and will end with the three words "I hate you" and he will end up without a relationship AND he will have a lost a friend - so he refuses to get serious.

Delerium – Stopwatch Hearts Lyrics 17 years ago
It's about people who are consumed by work, and its as if their entire lives are regulated by the clock.

Hence these party-starved, business men, essentially have stopwatch hearts.

Duran Duran – New Moon on Monday Lyrics 18 years ago
Oh and of course I forgot:
"I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite"
Cold is symbolic with lonely or lacking her "warmth" She is the lonely satellite, she's alone and she's "orbitting" around him (like a satellite) as opposed to "landing" or being with him.

Duran Duran – New Moon on Monday Lyrics 18 years ago
I always thought this was about a guy trying to date an indecisive/shy girl, and I think the peppy, upbeat music and beat support this. Although I'm not sure what the music video does to support my theory...

Shake up the picture the lizard mixture with your dance on the even tide = Try something new, other than this indecisive "dance on the even tide".

You got me coming up with answers, all of which I deny = refers to the game of talking and flirting.

I said it again but could I please re-phrase it
Maybe I can catch a ride = him asking again to court her as he is saying, "hey maybe I can catch a ride?"

I couldnt really put it much plainer
But Ill wait till you decide = he's being very forward, he can't be anymore clear about wanting to date her but he has to wait for her to decide or say yes.

Send me your warning siren
As if I could ever hide = again referring to the uncertaintity and her warning siren being "I don't know if I'm ready to date..."

I'm assuming the chorus just represents the emotions he's going through, he's anxious and nervous so he's saying it feels like he's lighting a torch and dancing, waiting for something to change (the new moon on monday).

Breaking away from the beast of both worlds = again indecisiveness: beast of both worlds meaning you can't have it both ways, date me and not date me, you have to pick one.

A smile that you can't disguise = he can tell she likes him because she can't hide her smile.

Every minute I keep finding
Clues that you leave behind.
Save me from these reminders
As if Id forget tonight = he keeps picking up subtle hints (clues) that she's interested in him, but he already knows that, so don't send him anymore clues, just make up your mind! (spare him the reminders).
