What if you flipped the idea that the narrator is the one seeing someone being risque? I'll break it down like this . . . "We was walking through the park Trying to get home before too dark" He says we on this part giving you the idea that he is simply walking in the park with someone else who he does not specify who he is with. What if when he says "home" he means home base? I'm sure everyone knows the bases in sexual terms. Bare with me here. He then sings: "Who was it that we saw that night Was it you?" Maybe someone else was walking in the park that night and they got an eyeful of what the narrator is doing with the person he was with in the park with? Maybe it was his significant other. "Someone doing something not right Shocked to see us, interrupting their delight" The someone he refers to could be himself, and if you put a comma between "us, interrupting" then this could possibly be what the narrators girlfriend sees while walking through the park. He then asks "was it you?" he's obviously paranoid if she has seen what he was up to. "Tucked away inside of the wood Tucked away inside and up to no good Who was it that we saw that night Was it you?" The first two lines sound like references to sex. Which, as I said before could be the narrator. "And we was cutting through the park Trying to get home before too dark Who was it that we saw that night Was it you?" This is a big signifier here. Instead of saying walking through the park like he says in the first line, he now says cutting. Now cutting could be taken two ways, cutting as a slang term for sex, or now that he suspects that he's been caught in the act, instead of walking he is cutting straight through the park to hurry and get home before his girlfriend does so he will look innocent and not get caught. Okay, so i know that is kind of out there, but like what is said in earlier posts, its all in how you interpret the lyrics. |
