This song leaks of depression. "You look for love, you just get skin"- finding no real love and adoration, only the false love where people don;t know the real you, the kind where they only want sex. "Takes a second for your world to change..." and so forth is about being famous, or having the mass media turn aginst you and heap criticism instead of praise on you. It's terrible. Such a sad song.
I adore the "Ahhh" at the beginning of each chorus.
Still kicking myself for being asked to party with the band on their tour bus when they were backing up Adam Ant, but telling my girlfriend that I wouldn't go (so we didn't). Within a month their song was top of the charts and they were famous. Stupid stupid me. I'm guessing she hates me, too ;)

@EnduringChill I don't find the lyrics sad but I do find them very insightful! I know ,for myself, that it takes a second for your world to change.
You are right about the comment about being famous and how the media can turn on you.
