Aquarius Lyrics

Cover art for Aquarius lyrics by Aqua

I think the key lines are:

"This is it - I cant run away – you’re controlling my life - and I can hear me say I - can only lose - when I’m – Aquarius"

So clearly the speaker is torn, they want to be free of "Aquarius" but they hear themselves saying that it isn't possible. Now Aquarius is something that's controlling but at the same time the speaker seems to think it's propping up their life

"Your the power that I need - to make it all succeed"

The two normal references to a controlling influence in a situation like this is a typically a person or an addiction. The fact that the speaker states that "Aquarius" came around when they were vulnerable doesn't really clear that up one way or another.

"When I was weak - you came along Enlightened me - covered the sun You seduced me - I can never ever run"

The one line I can find to support the drug angle is:

"It calls your name - and you listen - it steals your soul - and your hunger and your lust"

Saying how you stop having any ambition, no desire to live when you're so fully addicted to something.

Right below that, however, "Aquarius" is referenced in a way I don't see a anthropomorphized addiction being used normally:

"For life - and being free Its dragging you - its killing me"

Usually there's no "downside" to the addiction's part of the relationship as stated here about being dragged. Any thoughts on this?
