I think it's twilight, they're in a park in the city ("the neon"), and this is a rare peaceful calm moment for them. This is where they met (or spent much time together), "the garden is haunted by us". They have a tumultuous relationship ("the storm"), probably because he has resisted letting things get serious...but he's decided to let go (and give into the relationship/love, "let you lead me off into the dusk"), and put aside his usual rules, ignore the map ("the map in my hands folded shut") even though he may get hurt ("breath-taking danger of you"). |

"In times of need even the devil eats flies" (In der Not frisst der Teufel Fliegen)...a german proverb meaning beggars can't be choosers. Can't help but notice the references in this song...the devilish fiery eyes/smile, and "she will love you like a fly will never love you again". Maybe the song relates to one person being more in love than the other (or maybe the 2nd person isn't in love at all). Makes it easier to walk away when one is less interested (although it's obvious you will hurt the other person)...when the storm rolls in, ya just walk. Easy (but evil). But which side, then, owns the sin? To me it would be the person least in love (but stays selfishly). Although the lyrics suggest it's "her" (the one that feels "it the most"). Also, which side is the beggar? I'm thinking "her" (dangerously hangs onto the unrequited love because maybe [she thinks] she can't do better), but the lyrics suggest the opposite (that she is the fly being eaten). |
