Best song on the album

I think this is about the hedonistic lifestyle of a sexed-up rockstar.

Specifically, it's about yet another one night stand with a mostly antonymous girl and having a mixture of pleasure and emptiness.

"Gimme, gimme, reasons for the things I do" "Silhouette I'm seeing in the shape of you"

"Gimme reasons" = slight regrets/emptiness "Silhouette" = sexy and anonymous; lit up by the morning sun.

But, at least he pays attention to her needs.

"Throw away my world" "If I could see that pearl"

"pearl" = clitoris
