"There you have them. So far people have been seriously misunderstanding the meaning. Firstly, this song is absolutely NOT about rape, and if you think it is than you are an imbecile and I am impressed that you can read. The largest misconception is that the song is about a loveless one-night stand. Anyone who really knows me will tell you that I have never had a one-night stand in my life and had remained a virgin for 19 of my years. The song was actually written before I have ever had sex, it was inspired by the idea of knowing I would lose my virginity to a girl who would love me for longer than that night. With a topic like that, I did not want to sugarcoat the lyrics with any kind of sappy nnnonsense. I wanted a lyric that would embody both the physical and passionate sides of love while remaining honest. The first line of the chorus is merely slang and is not meant to be taken literally. I apologize to anyone who found the lyric offensive, but I refuse to apologize for writing it. I realize that we do have a number of younger fans, but the fact is that I am not 15 anymore, I am 20 and am not going to write nursery rhymes.
I hope that this message is received well by all who read it. I appreciate everyone who listens to our music and would hate to lose any fans over a misunderstanding. Thank you for taking the time to hear me out and for listening to the starting line. "
