Personally this song always had a "hotwife" or "cuckold" feel to me. Meaning, they are finding another man for Silvia to get more acquainted with. Reach the city steps tonight Following the power lines - Pretty self explanatory. They are going downtown for the night life. Met a man barside With eclipses for eyes - Met a man who is entirely smitten/amazed at Silvia's beauty. And you tell yourself you wont let them touch Did I say too much did I say enough I don't know Sylvia I don't know Sylvia - You agreed to this but God do you have doubts. You don't want this but it's too late now. Did you say what you could have to stop it? Did you say too much to start it? The angst! I'm pretty sure it's safe to say he has his doubts about this! Circle round the room still Breaking my will - He circles around the bar observing his woman flirting. And it's testing his will to let this carry on. No I can't have you here Someone else on your skin - He knows he can't have her. Not tonight. Tonight she is giving herself to someone else. And it's all my fault for not getting off And you made it start, can you make it stop? You don't know Sylvia You don't know Sylvia - Maybe this idea was his. Maybe he persuaded her. Now the bird is free, can it be caged again? He doesn't know, does she? Daamn Daamn Reach the city steps tonight Following the power lines And your skin is so white Underneath the black night And your voice calls out for the Coup de grace When the lights go out will there be a trace? I don't know Silvia That I loved, Silvia That I loved, Silvia - She dancing and her skin shines in the dance floor black lights. She wants the big finale with her new friend. When the time comes, and the lights go out, in that moment, will she even remember him? |
