| Meat Loaf – 45 Seconds of Ecstasy Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| It's not "just" about orgasms. It's from Welcome to the Neighborhood, which is a concept album about life from first love to death (circular, since as he dies he sees his first love again in the song Martha). 45 seconds of Ecstasy is about a brief affair his wife (or her husband) was having and whether the 45 seconds of pleasure was worth the sacrifice. The second line can be interpreted two ways: 1) It was not complex at the time (2nd verse) but it came back to haunt them; or 2) how the enjoyment of sex comes back after being married for so long. Its great how a song can say so much in so few words, and shows how great and overlooked an album Welcome to the Neighborhood is | |
