think i messed up on red cape and foil. foil is more likely a reference to dueling/fencing. red cape still makes me think of a superman type of "other man" in that grass-is-greener context whereby closing in for a kill seems more applicable in how he and this other man are battling this duel for her. ya... and savior is definitely not a kind of religious savior. it seems like a direct metaphor to this other man in a song of indirectness and insinuation.
