I'm a high school lover
And you're my favorite flavor
Love is all, all my soul
You're my Playground Love
Yet my hands are shaking
I feel my body reeling
Time's no matter, I'm on fire
On the playground, love
You're the piece of gold
That flashes all my soul
Extra time, on the ground
You're my Playground Love
Anytime, anyway
You're my Playground Love
And you're my favorite flavor
Love is all, all my soul
You're my Playground Love
Yet my hands are shaking
I feel my body reeling
Time's no matter, I'm on fire
On the playground, love
You're the piece of gold
That flashes all my soul
Extra time, on the ground
You're my Playground Love
Anytime, anyway
You're my Playground Love

I'm pretty convinced that it's about being in an extremely intense sexual relationship at a very young age and just becoming so completely powerless and rapt in those feelings of lust and admiration for the other person. it perfectly captures that unique and adventurous stage in some teen's lives when things are really heating up with their "high school lover" to the point that any inhibitions about losing one's virginity melts away. Suddenly, the main priority is being with that person by any means possible, and it doesn't matter where or when you hook up so long as you get your physical fix. "playground love" is about some hardcore chemistry that many people can only dream about.
and sure, adults of all ages can form romantic relations, but I think there's a reason for the specificity in the lyrics leaning towards youth. There is something to be said for that first time and the first person you ever get close to (like that). It's like some sort of unreal dream world and those experiences will always stands out and stay with you.
It just isn't the same when you get older.
Very well done song.
Memories/feelings of unrequited love and desperate shyness i suffered through in school.
It gives me goosebumps, but in a kind of bad way. I just want to cry when I hear it. (especially the lyrics "yet my hand are shaking...")
Reminds me of trying to talk to my crush in 4th grade.
My first girlfriend also loved Virgin Suicides and Air (which I originally showed to her.) and we had a pretty rough relationship + break up.
I know I'm sappy. But only a few songs effect this part of me so strongly.
A metaphor for naive love, like the first time you had a crush on someone or kissed a girl. The excitement of a person whose thrall makes you feel helpless in their presence. The kind of love where you have no reservations, you believe in it, you're not afraid of being hurt, just living in the moment.
Alternatively, playground, as in, a place to act out without care. A sandbox within which your actions will remain confined. A woman you keep on the side, a fling, some sort of passionate but probably short lived romance. Think Las Vegas.
