To me it goes something like this: She talks how it all started, her love to him. Now how it is in the present, when they are a couple for some time, and how he feels about her, always talking to her coldly about how she is such a bothersome nothing (a breath on hair that is a real nightmare). She keeps talking (or at lest is trying to talk) with him that she still loves him, thats why hes growing colder still, maybe she is pushing too much/fast, maybe from the beginning he didn't saw any future with her, but she's still trying. Her "offer" (love) is like lily (i see it white), beautiful and such, but like everything it isn't perfect because around are lots of things that cause you pain and ain't that pretty. She knows that (realized on one point maybe), and she fears to give that feeling, fear like "prey among the wolves". (maybe that, or its just another way to say that there are awful things around her, wolves in tales liked to hunt for women and children, innocent beautiful defenceless girls maybe?? but i chose fear, or some other bad feeling, for its the cause of following verse) Snakes, among other things, represent vengefulness and vindictiveness. To feed it may mean that she will take everything that he had put her through and turn it on him, or just justify her reason for "drinking the venom". This venom causes pain, but like with any other you cant loose consciousness because you may not wake again. That snakes is a "she" so i would guess that thats snake name is "love" (as described above, lily). She says that she will take the pain (leave??) and burden it (by realizing/awareness that it wont work with him), and not live imaginary life that he loves her, and in time, she will be fine, and he will be just too happy to forget about her. Barely cold in her grave Barely cold like not cold enough, so she still feels enough to be in her "grave", place where you don't want to be, but really cant get out from (like buried alive??). Barely warm in my bed She loves him, like said above, but not quite passionately as in the past. Settling for a draw tonight (in their argument) Puppet girl, your strings are mine Because he know her so well, and they had "this" (their relationship) conversation so many times, that he know he only needs to stall and shell give up, and "everything will be like normal", like it was to this point in time. This one is for you for you Only for you And she gives him that time, she tries still, but only for him, because he was her first "true" love, she wouldn't do it for anyone else (thinking about future, relationships beyond this??). But she know now that "love" isn't perfect like she imagined (in first verse), there aren't only good things about it (thats why she wont make the same mistake, pushing herself in this position, again). Just give in to it never think again I feel for you And she wants to "give in" to that perfect picture of love, and gladly would feel for him (love him still or feel for both of them, so he wouldn't have to). That "imaginary life" with him is tempting, until next time when she starts thinking about it (their "situation") and it (song/pattern) starts all over again. Thats why "giving in" demands not thinking again, ever. If you want to put it to simply physical relationship then go ahead, this interpretation is easy to push in that direction, but i prefer a little more to it. |
