@[phatcat:42237] They're not violins. It's Utley's genius on the guitar, pedals and mixing. Very cool atmospheric - other-worldly sound. Trip-Hop at its most eclectic and addictive best. |

@[cauliflowerjones:42233] The radio tuning out is a "metaphor" for the male lover's life ending. He is the one tuning out and checking out to this serial killer femme fatale. The more I think about this concept, the more I know it would make a very, very good movie. |

This song is about a femme fatale - a female serial killer. She has abstained from sexual encounters because of her desire to kill her lover. The femme fatale, however, falls prey to her sexual and murderous desires after abstaining for so long. Read the lyrics, watch the video again very carefully. All the clues are there. And then, after wanting the sexual encounter (one night stand), she knows it is not all what it seems, she knows, that her lover is doomed, knowing that after they make love, her lover will be killed. She regrets it, it is painful, but she's a femme fatale serial killer and cannot control either her sexual urges or the urge to kill. Very powerful indeed. |
