The Pretty Reckless – Follow Me Down Lyrics 10 years ago
This song is all about being a young woman with raging hormones and discovering about sex/lust (the first verse) and in this song particularly deals with oral sex and how much she enjoys it. When you first have such an experience you are wanting to have more of course, clouding all of your mind and actions subsequently. In detail, The "River" is her vagina, where the "water" comes from. "clean" because, well, usually oral is foreplay and we know what that will lead to - intercourse ("dirty water" has long been a euphemism for semen). "Nights avoiding things unholy" is a line describing her former life and upbringing to be a good girl. She reciprocates the oral sex in the same verse and well, "don't confess none of your sins" - you simply cannot discuss it with your mouth full and you don't usually talk about it with others (especially your parents).
"Now I know that there's a different way to die...am I not alive?" is all about the orgasm ('the little death' as it's been termed).

Great song and brutally direct. Taylor may have lost to Miley for the "Hannah Montana" gig, but this stuff is MUCH better than anything the VIRUS has produced and I am grateful for it.
