La Roux – Quicksand Lyrics 16 years ago
I think this is about a gay woman having an affair with a girl who's got a boyfriend.

"It seems you have forgotten
About your man" are the obvious lyrics but there are other clues as well.

"My bed's a different land" - referring to the woman who's only slept with men before.

"All you do is push me back in the dark" - the other girl's in the closet still, and being with her feels like being back in the closet as she's having to pretend nothing's going on.


"What's my position?
I don't understand" - She's unsure whether the affair is simply an experiment for the other girl, or if she wants something more.

There are obvious gay hints in "In For the Kill" as well. I'm thinking she's a lesbian. Or just likes singing about lesbian relationships...? Who knows.
