never thought of it in this way and i think that it is an excellent interpretation. even though i dont feel like it was his meaning when it was written. Rodriguez wasnt opposed to drug use, as documented in his other songs. |

Excellent break down of the song. Your interpretation on each line is very close to mine. If you don't mind I'd like to give my interpretation as a reply to yours due to many similarities. In fact I may copy and paste many of your lines because I like the way you phrased the lines that i agree with. First I differ in my interpretation because I feel that she was cheating on her man with someone else, and he knows. Now here is how I break Was it a huntsman or a player- (the man she ends up cheating on) That made you pay the cost- cost being cheating on the narrator That now assumes relaxed positions - 'Relaxed positions' means sex (the man is now having sex with her). And prostitutes your loss? - So the "loss" is the girl's loss of the current relationship she is in. I believe that the narrator are together through the end of the song, however once you've cheated on your spouse or significant other you lose something speacial that you once had. and remember it's the "hunter/player" who's prostituting it. If you prostitute something you make money or benefit from it. So the man is benefitting off the girl new special relationship(cause he gets to have sex/pleasure). Were you tortured by your own thirst - You couldn't stop yourself.... In those pleasures that you seek - From seeking love/affection..... That made you Tom the curious - That made you curious That makes you James the weak? - That now makes you weak And you claim you got something going - You're telling me you have a good relationship going now with a new person Something you call unique - You think the relationship/love is unique and new, not like your current bad relationship But I've seen your self-pity showing- I can tell that that your hiding something from me by the way that your acting. And the tears rolled down your cheeks.- and now i can tell that you feel remorse "because she's crying" So con, convince your mirror - Convince yourself, As you've always done before - Like you always do Giving substance to shadows - Giving substance ever more. - (repetitious line) And you assume you got something to offer - You want to with me but i want to leave. Secrets shiny and new- trying new things But how much of you is repetition- that you didnt whisper to him to- your telling me the exact same thing that you told him |
