I think he's saying that love is blind, genderless, and that our society is delusional to think that we've got to torture ourselves into denying ourselves love because they're of the wrong gender? That if someone loves you, and you find yourselves loving them... well, love is love. orientation definitions are arbitrary, as we're all human and life's too short to be cramming ourselves into boxes. I think we're too rigid about love, too, and I'm not talking sexual love; think about how sexual tension really undermines communication between some people, just because they're of the opposite gender; most people believe they have to seek another person out for sex, or that to treat someone with love indicates you're sexually interested in them...There's not enough love in nonsexual relationships, people are cold to one another because they don't want to seem like they're flirting with a member of the same or opposite sex, for instance. It's like we commit ourselves to loving one person at a time and pushing everyone else away, reducing love to sex alone; we live in a sex obsessed society, and he's saying it's ridiculous to live like this. well, in this song, obviously, saying he can have both; but I think what I've summarized is the message he sends through a great deal of his music.
I can't believe how quickly I've written all of this.
Beautiful song, I agree.
