Possum Kingdom

kittiesm: And that, my friend, is where the power of interpretation and placing yourself in one's shoes comes in. Yes, that would make sense in the immortality aspect, but look at it from the rapist's mind: You need to lure her in. Attract her, promise her something she just can't refuse. It's the illusion of love without love ever being present. Sweet talk her just like a (happily) married couple might. "Baby, am I fat?" "No, sweetheart. You're just as skinny and gorgeous as the day I met you, and you always will be." Etc., etc. Maybe not the illusion of love in this case, but the illusion of security.

I've never seen the video before but both the vampire and rape "theories" would be plausible were it not for his tone of voice, not to mention the little lines he sneaks in.

"I'll not be a gentleman" Why wouldn't he be a gentleman if it was just about a vampy coming out to his lover?

"So help me, Jesus" I'm using the stereotype, so sue me, but I thought vamps were all DEMONICsoullessEVILLL.

"Give it up to me" Hmm? It only makes it sound like he's trying to take something from her, he's being greedy. If he was just vampin' her, where would this motivation of greed come from? They would both supposedly be benefiting. But this line makes it seem like he'd be getting FAR more from it.

"Do you wanna die?" Mainly because of the tone he uses it with in the song, but, um... correct me if I'm wrong, but it clearly sounds like a THREAT. Not, "lolz we can dies 2getha and b reborn and suck bloooood. :)"

But yeah. I guess that's my two cents.
