I like this interpretation. Also, maybe this is just me, but I'm reading the "it's too much in pounds," couple with the previous line, as an allusion to Shakespear's "a pound of flesh," which has more to do with obligation than pure monetary "pounds." In this case, it reads as if the subject of the song feels that a more serious relationship equates to an onerous responsibility. Our narrator, twigs, seems to argue that when "making love is free" slash a more serious relationship comes willingly and truthfully, it is nourishing and inspires growth. I guess? |
