My few coppers: In short, it is about a man who at a party meets his sister-in-law, in fact his wife's younger sister. He feel a sudden attraction toward her and as they talk he feels that she feels the same. However they fight, or at least try to fight, their urges due to the consequences. Let me go into detail a bit more: "When all are dizzy and happy from too much wine I leave the party behind To be alone with my thoughts and this spinning mind Through this cold night But there she stands" Is about him not really enjoying the party, for what reason we only could guess about, and decides to leave the party. Perhaps because the others are so joyful, perhaps because he and his wife has problems unsolved. But on his way out he meets with his wifes younger sister. "And she walks like you And she smiles almost like you A child of the wild just like you For a second I think I get a glimpse Of the real her, behind She's warm and fragile With smiles that reach to her eyes But just this moment, A change so sublime" He sees her in a new light, like for the first time, and he recognize his wife in her, or more precisely: The thing he loves his wife for, he sees in her younger sister. "If she looked me deep into my eyes And softly asked me too I'd be in her bed and in her flesh And waste a life I knew So I hold my breath and close my eyes And focus on the wine Let this trembling moment pass us by So I could say goodnight" He wants her, oh yeah he wants her, but tries to resist the temptation with the knowledge that if he doesn't, his life will never be the same, no matter if his wife is gone or not, things would change to such a degree. "But then, an impulse I almost touched her face Before I pulled back my hand And we get nervous We laugh and she spills her wine Both so awkward, for what's on our mind" It is obvious that she is into him as well. "And she talks like you And she smells almost like you A child of the wild just like you But she's not all you Even strives not to be you Just like every sister would do" Her we have it again, the similarities he see between them, but also that they are in fact not the same. Not at all, and if the sister actually tries not to be like her bigger sister. "If I'd looked into her eyes And softly asked her too She would give herself and give her flesh And waste a life she knew" She wants him too, and the prize to pay for that is the same for her as for him. Would they lose the wife/sister? Or if she is dead, would they be outcasts of both their families? |
