This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
He never said he loved her
And she never said she cared
Now he's out on a ship somewhere
And she's still running scared
She never thought to ask him
And he never thought to say
Now they're both out somewhere looking for
The love that got away
She changed her name to Venus
He got a job in Spain
She lives alone in Dunbar
With a cat that has no name
Once he thought he saw her
In a Spanish cabaret
But it was just another stand-in for
The love that got away
And it's no fun being alone
She'd sell her soul for someone to call her own
He's been waiting for a reason to head for home
'Cause it's no fun with no one
It's no fun being alone
He never said he loved her
And she never said she cared
So they've lived alone and never known
The life they might have shared
She never thought to ask him
And he never thought to say
Now they'd gladly trade their freedom for
The love that got away
'Cause it's no fun being alone
And she'd sell her soul for someone to call her own
He's been waiting for a reason to head for home
It's no fun with no one
It's no fun being alone
And she never said she cared
Now he's out on a ship somewhere
And she's still running scared
She never thought to ask him
And he never thought to say
Now they're both out somewhere looking for
The love that got away
She changed her name to Venus
He got a job in Spain
She lives alone in Dunbar
With a cat that has no name
Once he thought he saw her
In a Spanish cabaret
But it was just another stand-in for
The love that got away
And it's no fun being alone
She'd sell her soul for someone to call her own
He's been waiting for a reason to head for home
'Cause it's no fun with no one
It's no fun being alone
He never said he loved her
And she never said she cared
So they've lived alone and never known
The life they might have shared
She never thought to ask him
And he never thought to say
Now they'd gladly trade their freedom for
The love that got away
'Cause it's no fun being alone
And she'd sell her soul for someone to call her own
He's been waiting for a reason to head for home
It's no fun with no one
It's no fun being alone
