I think I really got the meaning of this song. I thought about it a lot an I hope I can explain it 'cause english isn't my first language. It's about a man who lives in an attached relationship, but he has this urge. He does a lot of drinking and meets other women. And in this song he tries to explain why he does all this stuff. It's just a big alibi for his behavoir. He says that u don't have to be ashamed 'cause u have this urge. "I think about the three of us, I wonder how we tesselate" This line is kinda confusing. I would say the three are: he, his girlfriend and this urge. In the third part he sings about another part of his relationship. I has this urge but when he and his girlfriend get close he feels that he still loves her. Well in the chorus he describes the experiences he makes. But even though he has the urge he can't enjoy his freedom. He calls the fumble useless. When he arrives home his girlfriend is waiting for him. He doesn't know about his affairs but she feels that something is wrong. That's because she's crying. But he says he doesn't know what his crime is. I would say he tries to fool himself with this sentence. In the next part he says the society is superficial. He fears that people will convict him because of his faults without caring about his reasons. "No-one wants to lose their youth, In a trench like this." I really like this part. The trench is the relationship. He feels constricted and has only one way to go. U have to imagine this scene to unterstand. After all his only solance is to find other people with the same urge because he is sure not to be the only one. That's because the song is named YOUR urge. It kinda means that everyone has this urge. In the second chorus the last line has changed. He can't keep up the lies which he told to himself. He knows what his crime is. And in the end... he can't stand this situation any longer. Greez |
