Literally interpreting it would be like that, but what is great about placebo is that their songs are open to the meaning one can give them. I also see drugs, s-m, prostitution, loveless and destructive relationships, self cutting, unrequited love, and so on, it's up to the listener. For me none of these things (right now) make much sense really, I think it's about one night stands, being the 'me' and the 'you' the example of people who do it, when they are only two scared ones who want to be loved (even for one night) and think that through sex can find the love they lack but end up disappointed and alone 'cause the only thing that seemed to be ''a feeling'' has gone after a moment…
Obviously it doesn’t fit much with the lyrics but it’s just what I think of when I listen to it.
