I know that sex is an aspect in this song, but I dont think that he he is falling victim to his irresistable sex drive. I agree with most of what people have said so far. I think its about a young, idealistic girl who is attracted to him for the fact that he has lived and does know the world. To her, he is so different and probably, a bad boy. She probably even wants to fix him. I think that he really loves her and cares for her. But he is broken. He has seen too much and experienced to much of the cruel side of world. In a way, he doesn't know how to experience that good side of the world and he see's her as too good for him, as too pristine, as too perfectly good. That he isn't worthy and he would just break her and bring her down. That all that he loves about her would be corrupted and destroyed. But also he is scared that since she may never understand him, she will just get hurt in the process. The whole sex thing, he says "you think im a genius, I know Im a whore" I dont think he couldn't resist f*cking her, but rather that because he thinks he is unworthy, he is wallowing in it. He is almost trying to prove it to her by being worse than he even wants to be. Saying, see, I am just f*cking you, Im a bad guy, see, Im not good enough. Its better to be worse than you are than to try to be something better and to fail. But in the end, he wants it... that goodness, and though he thinks he knows he cant have it, a small part of him thinks maybe she can lift him up. Thats what I think of when i hear it anyways, if that makes any sense. |

This song was given to me by someone else. He told me it was how he felt about me. It is about two people who are very drawn to eachother, see something in eachother that is special and unique that they cant find anywhere else. The other person makes them feel things no one else can. And they are addicted to eachother. But to be with eachother would be like playing with fire. And it would never work or happen, because it is forbidden. There are other people involved. Nothing has happened between them yet, beyong conversations and deep talks, and that desire kills them. But nothing ever will hapen. Ever. |
