I agree with kid-44. I really dont think it's about rape or prostitutes. There really is no right meaning because every one interperets it diffrently. I'm sure the words mean something different for paul, daniel, sam, and carlos. I'm sure they dont think it all means the same.
Here's what i think. I think this is one of their most beautiful songs, and is the closest thing i think is a love song for them. Here's why:
"Baby won't you try to find me
Baby won't you try to fight
Baby won't you try to find me
Maybe it will be alright"
That means he DOES want her to find him. The 'won't' isn't really for negitivity it's like 'why wouldn't you?' I think he realizes that he should give her a shot and it might just turn out better than he thought.
"Along the way
Tears drown in the wake of delight"
I think this means that they will become happy and all the sorrow will start to go away due to this new thing.
"There's nothing like this built today
You'll never see a finer ship in your life"
Ship, in my view, is himself, and just overall personality. and how he can be geniune and caring (there's nothing like this built today part) Because these times, i see alot of people easy and in it for the lust. and i think he's saying how much of genuine person he is compared to the average person.
"I am the scavenger
Between the sheets of union"
I do agree he's talking about sex here, but i think he's trying to find that specific person, and he's been around and couldnt really find the person
"Lately I can't tell for sure,
whether machines turn anyone"
I think this is saying that he can't tell anymore between women. If they're fake, geniune or whatever. (i know i should back this up more, but for my own sake, i wont - long day).
"I see that you've come to resist me...
I'm a pitbull in time"
She is unsure if she should leave with him and be with him, which will make him go a bit wild if she keeps him waiting which can lead to anger
"White Goddess, Red Goddess,
Black temptress of the sea, you treat me right"
I think these lines are saying (and i am refering to what paradigmshift said) that no matter what the case is (happiness - white), (love/passion - red), or (anger/negativity - black), they will be alright and nothing can get inbetween their love at the moment.
"Oh my love we are sailing to Norway
Oh my love we're leaving tonight"
I think here, he's at a point where he'll leave everything with her to start a new life and he wants it right away.
That's how i interpret some parts of the song. and i'm sticking with that.
