While I do think that the lyrics probably are meant to be as much a love song to Rome, I also think that they are quite literally about the redemptive and transformative power of finally being able to shed the guilt about one's sexuality, let someone get that close to you, fulfill the desires that have been locked inside of you, unfulfilled for so long. It's about falling in love and allowing yourself to experience physical pleasure and intimacy without self-loathing, maybe for the first time. So many of you don't want to acknowledge that it's actually about sex at all. Are you uncomfortable because he's obviously talking about a man? I'm so glad he had the strength to write and sing this song as it stands. The vulnerability of human need, craving for closeness, the peace of coming to terms with who you are, so lovely and sweet. I wish he had done it in concert last night. So many people, especially Americans, view sex as something vulgar and base, or are uncomfortable when confronted by it, or find it unworthy as a topic for art, instead of a very basic, deep, sacred part of our lives, essential to our well-being as people to experience that kind of intimacy.
@nonspammed That's a bunch of horse shit. Let me guess, you're either from Canada or some stupid European country like France where ever that likes to constantly harp about "Americans this" or "Americans that" when in essence, we don't give a fuck about what anyone else is doing from a social standpoint. It must be jealousy and envy that triggers off these type of idiotic responses. Americans (aka "Westerners") are notorious for being liberated with the sex stuff, a little too much. For the most part we are just a bit more classy and discrete about our business that's done...

For the most part we are just a bit more classy and discrete about our business that's done in privacy and not talked about in a trashy manner like some 3rd world country with no manners or social skills. Something tells me you're either gay or perverted on some level. Just a hunch.
