However, now that I'm analyzing this song further I believe he is not the one cheating. He is at her house, while her husband is away. Hence, the borrowed key. Still, his awareness is obvious. |

This song is not about rape. The sex is intense, it is what he dreams of, this is what makes it his irresistable temptation. The entire lyrics from "Borrowed keys" to "on her thighs still" describes him cheating. When I think of "metal pillows" I think of discomfort. "pewter yellow" is a common jewelry color. "furry roadkill" could be a rug. (they are all over the house) "house on the hill" he's at HER house. My opinion is he's at his mistresses house. They are having sinful sex, either involving food, or as sweet as food. He's borrowed her keys to get in, her house is extremely nice (on a hill, with fur rugs and jewelry). He feels bad, even though he does what he wants. |

Scratching, filing, Against her skin, Blessed are those, Who are not kin, (sex, blessed are those who do not induldge) In sin we breathe, In sex we tie, Duct tape her legs, To the red sky, (more sex, he knows he is sinning) Foolsome flesh allowances, The pansies raided the pantry of, Gabardine dreams, promiscuous, Delight, deny not the flavor, (he knows he should not indulge in sex, gabardine is a fabric, he dreams of sex, and cannot deny his temptations) Custard dreams, Abusing, musing, Marmalade flesh, Naked spread am I, Am I (custard & marmalade are food/sweetness references. questioning his actions) Actors of the tragic fanthom, Extend your legs for Great Saturn Brown table tops scream for cover, At the sight of your new lover (actors, this is unreal. YOUR NEW LOVER is the most important part. He is cheating.) If today I die, And can't deny, The poison, Chosen for tonight Tonight, (inability to deny the sin he knows he is commiting) Borrowed keys, Hollowed reveries, Metal pillows, Pewter yellows, Furry roadkill House on the hill, Pouring gravy, On her thighs still (borrowed keys support the cheating reference, reveries are daydreams, he feels empty. house on the hill also supports him cheating) If today I die, And can't deny, The poison, Chosen for tonight, Tonight (again, his inability to deny indulging in his poison, sex) |
