'To be afraid is a luxury'
'To be soft is too easy, so don't get soft on me.'
The rest of the lyrics are quite sexual too, i.e 'All I want is a machine', 'when you're so close to me I can smell the gasoline.' It's always just struck me as being about that. Perhaps I am being too simple here, I don't know, but that's how it sounds.
I always just thought it was about rough sex ><
