As a songwriter who routinely uses figures of speech to ascribe multiple meanings to the same sequence of words, I can tell you
EXACTLY what this song is about:
C.O.C.A.I.N.E.
I am certain this is Phil Collin's ode to the contradictions inherent in a chronic cocaine abuser's never ending quest for elation;
followed immediately by guilt and remorse.
Don't believe me?
Just listen to the song again right now with THAT premise in mind...
" I could leave but I won't
go,
it would be easier I know..
I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes.."
