here's my take... this song is about 2 girls who are not lesbians but fall instantly enamored with each other. they are confused by the infatuation, to the draw to each other, to their chemistry. they have one night to "speed up truth"... to be intimate with each other and get it out of the way, since they know that, though it is love in one sense, they know they're not meant for each other. it is a passionate, glorious night. but they know that it will pass... and this is a beautiful and terrible thing. no one can tell them it's right or wrong, and they cannot put off this passion... they have to give into the experience and then move on. |

i believe the song is about a man who loves because he loves to be in love. he loves the action of love and all its consuming powers, though he is not in love with a specific individual. i agree completely with the idea of unattachment, but not so that he can commit to someone... singing "beauty, there's nobody near me, there never was" shows his commitment as a lover of love, no strings attached. it took me a long while to finally come to this conclusion. i used to think it was the sweetest song of devotion and trust. but really, its about the lies people allow themselves to feel when they believe someone is truly in love with them when, really, they never were. |
