Now I could be wrong and most likely am, but considering music thrives on various interpretations, I might as well add my 2 cents. What I'm getting from this is the girl is the one that feels the least if any love, sort of explaining to the gent what exactly is going on. I'll break it down just to show you how I got this. "It's unfortunate that when we feel a stone We can roll ourselves over 'cause we're uncomfortable Oh well, the devil makes us sin But we like it when we're spinning in his grin" This part is bit self explanatory. She's explaining how though they are aware that the love has died or is fading, they continue to pretend, both the man and the woman. "It's unfortunate that when we feel a stone We can roll ourselves over 'cause we're uncomfortable" this part explains the awareness. It's uncomfortable, yeah, but neither of the two are really bringing up the subject so they just "roll themselves over". "Oh well, the devil makes us sin But we like it when we're spinning in his grin" and this part explains them pretending. They continue to act like lovers in every aspect but both knowing it isn't true, still, because they like the feeling of someone there, they continue to act like it (the man obviously pretends for the fact that he is still very much in love with her and chooses to remain blind where as the girl is just anticipating the break up). "Love is like a sin, my love, For the ones that feel it the most Look at her with her eyes like a flame She will love you like a fly will never love you again" Now here is where the good part comes in. In this section, the girl continues to explain more towards the point. She has loved him but now she doesn't (obviously). "Love is like a sin, my love, For the ones that feel it the most" this part tells you (me) that the guy continues to fool himself into thinking that she still loves him, but it's only lies-- and he knows this. It always feels so wrong, a bit pathetic, when you have to fool your own mind for happiness but at the same time you're happy, and that's why it's a sin. "Look at her with her eyes like a flame She will love you like a fly will never love you again" now, I know this part (when read) kind of foils my interpretation, but whenever I listen to the song and I hear this part, this is the image that comes to mind: "Look at her with her eyes like a flame" signifies that she's charming, excruciatingly charming. He can see the girl that he fell in love with and why he's still in love. But then it comes to this part "She will love you like a fly will never love you again". This part means that though she may be charming, he knows that she will never love him the way she did before. Meaning, he is compelled by her beauty but at the same time devastated because he can see what's really going on. Anyway, as I said, I am wrong with this meaning but it's my own interpretation; It's how I see it. I know I did a semi-bad job at explaining it because I'm kind of rushing but hopefully you guys at least get the gist of what I mean. By the by, when it comes the second time around I heard "sound" instead of "sin" like: "It's unfortunate that when we feel a stone We can roll ourselves over when we're uncomfortable Oh well, the devil makes a sound But we like it when we're spinning in his grin" but that's just me |
