I think that the song is being over analyzed. It might be about lesbianism however that cannot be confirmed in this small viewpoint window that we see of the song. In my opinion i think the song relates to one person trying to convince the other person into starting a relationship with them, however the other person is already in a relationship. So she tries to explain the dead end relationship by comparing it to "kissing cousins, no smoke, no flame". Drop the pilot / monkey / mahout all revers to that same person where she tries to convince them that she would be the better choice. "im the one you need" to put it as simple as possible. Basically, asking, pleading or trying to convince that she is the better choice. |
