This is one of my all time favorite songs, which coincidently I heard by accident. I was listening to my favorite radio station at the time and the DJ played the B-side instead of the released track and voila! I heard "Mine". I agree that it's very dark and mysterious...definately one of Darren's best works lyrically. However, it doesn't exactly make me think of vampires anymore, though it did at first. It wasn't until I got a little older that I started thinking it seems less of an immortal-feeling song and more of a human longing type of thing.
Honestly, what this song makes me think of is a man who is deeply in love with a woman who in turn doesn't know he exists. He is drawn to her and his strange and compelling love for her turns him into somewhat of a voyeur where he is reduced to hiding in the shadows and watching her from a distance. He's constantly thinking about her; wanting her, needing to touch her, maddeningly longing for her. The line: :"In the cover of darkness I can make believe it's you" is the first big tip-off that he's experiencing voyeur tendencies. It makes you believe he's watching her from the shadows, contemplating.
It's a very sexy song. My friends and I were 14 when we began making up sexy stories and scenarios based around this very song. We're 21 now and we never stopped making up sexy stories based on the endless possibilities of these lyrics. We thank you Darren and Daniel for the restless slumber party nights of imagining watching you from the shadows. 0.o Hehehe...
