I love this song. I think most, if not all of the Jezebels lyrics are written in a vicarious 1st person, so an individual not the same as the singer, but spoken 1st person. The lead singer, and I imagine she writes most of the song, has admitted this, I think?... This song to me is very sexual/romantic, and the lyrics are connect the physical with the mental/emotional nicely. Part of the song to me feels like its the sexual ruminations of a (horny man?) at a bar or someplace, other parts I can't figure out so much, maybe told from the point of view of another person, (the Jezebels do this too). This song is reminescent to Bruce Springsteens "I'm on fire" somewhat; "in my dreams I've been a stranger" someone who is beside him/herself with ones own desires (aren't we all though) "dont know why I wanna go inside her" so maybe uncomfortable with they're sexuality or confused, (a pedafile maybe like in I'm on fire). There is much words mentioning a "burning desire" and longing, "hey liar called desire" reveals perhaps a disbelief or confusion with ones desires, "why do I have these desires, am I being 'lied to' by my own desires" or maybe this line is meta physical maybe the speaker is calling one he/she is attracted to a liar, but the same concept and emotion still. "How can you syphon my typhoon" an excellent rhyme and word play, just like the line "can you cool my fire oohh I'm on fire", but more clever, can you control my raging longing/desires? I do think this song is about the confusion that accompanies attraction/sex/love, and does so from "alternative" perspectives, I know a number of Jezebels songs are about this so it would be a good bet.
