It's about two collectivists of some kind (anarcho-syndicalists, socialists, communinists, etc) finding each other for their political beleifs (the color red). They bond after having gone through life not understanding why they didn't fit in with the individualist mindset.

The first verse is about a a nervous organizer speaking, and she sounds crazy because she talks to the audience the way she would talk to someone who already knew the basics of her political theory. The second is about being seperated (I think it was the first time on the radio for the woman, not the first time the other woman had heard her)but being encouraged because they were still both involved in activism. Before she found out about collectivism (the equality way) she didn't respect herself and didn't have the confidence to express herself or become close to people.

i don't see this. i mean besides a few words like "red" and "we" i don't think the rest fits

Thats the best meaning that i've read so far. it makes the most sense. :]

i also think that she's talking about being into the same sex "i knew there was something i missed" and "i don't like it the straight way" but i like thinking about it that way with the political meanings in it too.

Actually, first floor power...... was jenny wilson's band.... jenny is singing with karin
