Brutal Lyrics

Sometimes I feel
That you're a part of me
Although it don't seem real
It's how I want it to be
But if you can't stay then I'll understand
You're just sawdust in my empty hand
If you can't decide
I'll still be true
Just open wide
I'm here for you

And if you think that you've found
A gentle sound
Where love breaks down
It's alright.
And if you can't overcome
What get's you down
Don't get uptight
It's alright.

I'm a shallow man
In an hollow land
On a beaten track under your command
And the sound
In my head goes round and round
Like a drunk on the stairs
who just fell down
But now it seems
Like a distant dream
When it all lived wrong
With our love supreme
And the sound in my head goes round and round
Like a drunk on the stairs who just fell down

And if you think that you've found
A gentle sound
Where love breaks down
It's alright.
And if you can't overcome
What get's you down
Don't get uptight
It's alright.

The description of (forced) sex from a rather brutal guy's view?

My Interpretation

Well the lyrics are vague. But my interpretation is that it's an unrequited holiday romance.

He keeps reliving a 'perfect' moment in his mind where he met the 'perfect' girl who just wasn't that into him. Probably whilst backpacking in a party resort somewhere in South East Asia.
