My Aussie friend just sent this song to me and it's phenomenal and absolutely beautiful.
Yes, it's about a one night stand, but one that has been a long time in the making. There is deep affection behind it. Perhaps it's just a long, unrealized love coming to fruition or maybe the subjects are married, I'm not sure. All I know is this song is haunting.
This verse is about him going to her and finally consummating their relationship, which is pretty obvious :
I will come for you at nighttime
I will raise you from your sleep
I will kiss you in four places
As I go running along your street
I will squeeze the life out of you
You will make me laugh and make me cry
And we will never forget it
You will make me call your name
And I'll shout it to the blue summer sky
His calling our her name is orgasm, I think.
The next verse brings forward that though they will be apart, they will never really be alone because he'll be with her in spirit:
I dreamed of you at nighttime
And I watched you in your sleep
I met you in high places
I touched your head and touched your feet
So if you disappear out of view
You know I will never say goodbye
And though I try to forget it
You will make me call your name
And I'll shout it to the blue summer sky...
Right there! He will always be with her - even in his dreams- because he cares for her. Even though he knows he'll wish he could get over her, he knows he won't.
And we may never meet again...
So shed your skin and let's get started
And you will throw your arms around me
Yeah, you will throw your arms around me
I think this song is amazing. I can't believe I never heard the Pearl Jam cover of this song. It doesn't matter, though, because it's perfect from Hungers and Collectors.
