PS And I think it is good to take the plunge, and also to think about the other more than about your own insecurities: to choose to also take a kind and tender terminal care of the other so that she feels safe. Focus on giving not on taking. PS2 and she can of course also be he or s/he or whatever |

| Tegan and Sara – Arrow Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| When I listen to this song I think of a situation in which you are flirting with someone and you are giving signals but you are not sure of each other what you are meaning and what will happen. Still you do have the certainty that there is something there, that the other is somehow "hitting on you", has her arrow on you. That's so sexy about the main line, "I feel the breaze. Feel feathers of an arrow", it is as if you feel the other's arrow approaching you (and that is a very sexy feeling), you feel her gaze on you. But this gaze is a bit scary as well, because, "would you take a straight and narrow, critical look at me"? Would the other measure every word you say, could you disappoint her by doing or saying something wrong, looking stupid? Or "would you take a calm and tender, terminal care of me"? Is the gaze caring and loving, so that you can feel safe? You don't know yet in that moment and that is making you nervous, still "I take my aim, so you feel me coming close": you take the plunge. | |

Sara explains it pretty well all here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Idg6cwyRIwI "Go steady with me" is thus not the teen way of proposing someone but the preferred, 18th century one ;) I think it is so cute. |
