So I think there's a guy/girl who likes someone else, but their love doesn't care for them/realize it - "...martyr for your indiference". When he sings "...just an awkward formal dialogue" I think its kind of referring to the current situation - he's not going to have a super emotional burst about his feelings but their relationship is kind of tense now. I think the line "We want guarantees, not hunger pains" definitely supports this - he'd rather have a yes or no then continue consuming himself with his emotions.
I think the next thing to look at is the second verse, "...The sleepless crusade, The bitter campaign." I think this might be referring to abstinence (sleepless and bitter - metaphorically). So the reason why there isn't a yes or no (or maybe a no), is because the person doesn't believe in sexual relations or in having a more serious relationship at all.
I think this is further supported when you look at the chorus - "Somewhere between the penance and the patience... I think we've lost our way." Penance and patience both carry religious connotations, and could be connected to the idea of sexual abstinence.
Then, when it says "... the walls are skin and they're writhing" I think is kind of like a reflection on the tension between the two of them. Skin writhing is hyper frenetic movement, so it's like the room has all this tensed up energy inside, the tension between them.
But the one line that confuses me is "You'd be unwise to sate the urge but go ahead you wouldn't be the first". Its either said from the other person's point of view, or it reflects that the person is just kind of desperate but agrees with their love's point of view on the matter. Or
To the person above me, I'm pretty sure Closure in Moscow is from Australia. Unless there's something to suggest that their fans of the US military and its overseas involvements, I don't really know if they'd be singing a song in support of it. Not that's its impossible, I just think it's not that likely seeing as they aren't from the USA.
XZE01 I think you're 100% correct. Seriously that was perfect, thank you so much for being as intelligent as you seem and knowing how to use a well-constructed brain.
