^^ interesting interpretation, i hadn't thought of it that way.

it struck me more that we are all going to our graves, we are all cephalophores if you like. some people are bothered about that, some aren't so much. i think this person has seen someone who isn't too bothered that they will die some day? and likes the attitude, and says so. however the object of their interest has indeed heard it all before from a variety of insincere people and so doesn't really believe it.

what the singer likes is that the person is not available to be controlled. all he really wants (like many before) is to control her. and he should know that if he could control her, he wouldn't want her anymore. she knows it. he doesn't.
