I love this song, it's brilliant! 'Batsheba' is a reference to the old testament: "The wife of Uriah, who committed adultery with David" Here's my interpretation of the song, it may and most likely not be the right one of course, but this is what it means to me: "The way you're dancing Makes me come alive Makes me shiver and perspire Your surreptitious glancing The way you crack a smile You really start a fire" "The way you're moving Hips from side to side Makes you all that I desire Batsheba of my choosing, I'm so unsatisfied You got what I require" To me, these verses imply that the guy/persona is at a party/night club, and has caught sight of this girl dancing who he is attracted to and wants to fuck. "So move closer I want to feel your touch So come over Come on" This pretty much supports what I said above, but in a more sexual way. "Love of mine This fortress in our heart Feels much weaker Now we're apart Love of mine This fortress in our heart Comes crashing down" This could imply that the guy is already in a relationship with a girl, who he loves a lot, but because she's not at the party ("Now we're apart"), the strong affection he has for his girlfriend("Fortress"), means nothing ("feels much weaker") as he's attracted to the dancing girl. "This fortress in our heart Comes crashing down" implies that he's gonna take the risk in fucking this girl. "I need a change of skin I need a change" This could mean 2 things. One could mean that the guy wishes to forget about who he is for the night, and pretend to be someone else, someone new like how a snake would shed it's skin. Or the other meaning could be that he's gonna fuck her and he needs a Condom. Well there's my interpretation of this song; a guy cheats on his girlfriend at a party/night club and has a one night stand with a random girl. :) |
