@danfromboston In this song Sade is talking to herself. Her love was not reciprocal and was doomed to die. The understanding that he cannot fall in love with her came to her in a time. But she was not able switch her love off to avoid that torture. And this period was like a slow motion in which she was shot. The gun was her love. And in that motion she was hit by bullet and she was falling down dying - frame by frame. Watching that motion she understood that she need bullet proof soul to survive.

OK, but what does the line, "Too busy thinking love is a gun" mean? How is love like a gun?
