From the lyrics, this song is probably about the love that the writer/someone has for a woman. This is quite obvious from the "take my breath away" lines to the literal meanings in the second stanza. This relationship may be a forbidden love, because from the title "Nevada" we can relate this to a place of sin, Las Vegas. With this love comes lust, and we find this in the part where it says "your love fills me up when the blood in my body's drained" and "your strength is my backbone." These are possible sexual references describing an erection. I think the sinful nature of this song makes the magnitude of the last three lines so great. This song is great no matter how correct my interpretation is; one of my favorites on The Curse.
