Once it's life's fortunate
Isn't this so
The unreflected feeling
Of a shortened final soul
The life that cuts the cold
Now is in your past
In our memories
We don't have much to say
We don't have much to say
We don't have much
Follow anybody
Is that what you do
Maybe it transfits
Done something else with you
Now we know what we'll be in the past
Another story
Another life that's left
Another life that's left

    so... I think... this refers to what is known as a "twin flame/karmic" relationship or "soul mate" Once it's life's fortunate (This is the one time that you meet with your reflection/mirror or twin flame) Isn't this so? The unreflected feeling Of a shortened final soul (This the knowledge that you will end without that soulmate/mirror) The life that cuts the cold Now is in your past In our memories We don't have much to say We don't have much to say We don't have much Follow anybody Is that what you do? Maybe it transfixed (transfixed can mean two different things. To be astonished or pierce with a sharp implement or weapon. So if it is referring to the sharp implement... the mental connection with your soul mate always comes thru. That's what it feels like. To be suddenly pierced by thoughts and feelings of that soul mate you are connected with.) Done something else with you Now we know what we'll be in the past Another story Another life that's left Another life that's left (Having several past lives with that soul)

Shudder to Think
This song is timeless, and nearly 20 years after its creation, still possesses the mystique it did the first time i heard it ~1994. To me, at first blush, all those years ago, it had some kind of homo-erotic allure. The line "so that the others may do" tells of something which must be done for others to follow suit. It felt like like some kind of roxy-glam-pop invitation to sexual liberation. Upon further introspection I think the song may not have an intrinsic meaning, but simply represents a sort of "holding open the door" for people who otherwise might be affronted by this song/band's unusual style. I know, as a sort of armchair rock-historian, that there have been few bands so daring and so true to the sound that wanted to emerge from within, whether the creator wanted it or not. This band handled it with elegance and grace seldom, if ever, seen.

Moyet later described how her song "Goodbye 70's" had been inspired by her disillusionment with how the late-1970s punk scene had turned out, saying, "'Goodbye 70's' is about punk and not caring how you were dressed, and then I discovered that so many of my friends that I'd thought it all really meant something to just saw it as another trend... That's what 'Goodbye 70's' was all about, about how sour the whole thing became."
