Didn't she write this song shortly after the death of her father? I think it could have to do with a family situation: "Cursed with a love that you can't express" Could be talking about a family member, specifically her father, as perhaps her and her father were very close but did not 'openly' express their love or physically say "I love you" "It's not for a fuck, or a kiss" Would resemble the fact that its not an "intimate love" as it is a love between a family member. "Rather give the world away than wake up lonely Everywhere and every way I see you with me" Could represent that she regrets focusing so much on her career and "world" than spending more time with him and now that he has passed she feels his presence. "When you phone me tell me everything I did If I'm sorry you lost me you'd better make it quick Cause this call costs a fortune and it's late where you live" This part could represent perhaps the last time she spoke to her father perhaps he was telling her how he was proud of her 'telling her everything she did' and she was probably on tour meaning she was far from him and the long distance call between maybe even different countries was expensive but now she regrets 'making it quick' because she'd give anything to be able to hear him on the phone again. |
