this song creeps me out a little bit...it sounds dark somehow. i do love the video though...it reminds me of some crazy broadway musical.

it's really hard to know for sure what it's about. but the whole "pleasure and pain" imagery is what really speaks to me upon first listen. i don't get it being about masturbation...maybe abuse. it's about loving someone who causes you pain, i think. such sadness in your lover forgetting about you. beautiful song.
