I am a guy, so might be hearing this from a less-romantic angle, but lyrics are all about personal interpretation, right? To me, this song is about a musician seeking an audience, seeking a record contract, and seeking "love" in the industry, even though she knows that fame will bring negatives as well. She has poured her heart asking what she has to do to get attention in the business. I bet this song was written before she had any kind of recording contract, and the industry was ignoring her. "Please lend me your ear." "I need you to acknowledge I am here." "Give me half a chance..." "A man who loves music, a man who loves art..." could be the industry as a whole or a particular recording executive. "Take me in your hands" and teach me the way in the industry. She is really looking for a chance and needs a mentor. She is offering the entire package soul, mind, eyes, but first mentioned is voice, which was a big tip off that song this was deeper than simply about love from one person. Read the lyrics with this in mind, and tell me what you think.
