The woman seems to be calling to the man throughout the song, seen right at the beginning with: "I begged you appear/ Like a thorn for the holy ones." And yet, she left him: "Cold was my soul, untold was the pain/ I faced when you left me a rose in the rain." This supports the notion that she picks him up and leaves him as she pleases. And we see that the man has had his faith broken many times: "So I swore to the razor that never enchained / Would your dark nails of faith be pushed through my veins again." And he's fighting against her, but she calls to him like a Goddess, Liv's voice hauntingly beautiful. She tries to pull him back, to remind him of their times together in a way that is emotional: "Bared on your tomb I'm a prayer for your loneliness," sexual: "I could always find the right slot for your sacred key," as well as deeply spiritual: "Fall into my arms, hold their mesmeric sway/ And dance out to the moon as we did in those golden days." He speaks of her like an addiction, and that's what it is. No matter that he knows better, we still see him pulled in, enraptured by the memory: "Christening stars, I remember the way/ We were needle and spoon mislaid in burning hay." This woman is all that the man has, she's his whole world, the "prayer for his loneliness." And he knows she'll use him, abandon him, but he's caught up in the beauty of her, and, try as he might, he can never let go of her. She's his drug. |
