First I think it's important that not all songs or songwriters have an intended meaning or sometimes they have a personal meaning to them but they encourage their listeners to interpret it for themselves to make it theirs. That being said... My interpretation is this, Two people in a forbidden relationship, such as two people from different cultures. But they decide that if they can't have a lasting relationship with approval, they choose to be together for at least the one night despite the repercussions. "Take any moment, any time A lover on the left A sinner on the right", is simply about their options on how to go about it(make love or have more carnal relations). "Lay in the atmosphere A casual affair (Hush-hush, don't you say a word) Lay in the atmosphere A casual affair" Is just about enjoying the limited time they have for the night, enjoying the atmosphere and to not ruin it by saying anything. "Break involuntary ties A secret so the spies Could never find us out Stay for as long as you have time So the mess that we'll become Leaves something to talk about" It's a forbidden relationship, breaking the unnecessary ties to diminish the possibility of anyone, such as associates or family(spies) finding out. Staying for as long as possible, obviously because he knows it can only be for the one night, the inevitable backlash actually creating a memory they can have forever. Essentially, true forbidden love realized in the only way they can. |
