Savage Lyrics

Cover art for Savage lyrics by Eurythmics

I think song meanings can and should differ from person to person but this is what I think:

While the sun displays its teeth.

It refers to a person who is so emotionally tired that she cannot process input any more. The bright happy sun is too much. She wants silence and darkness.

She said, "These are my ...."

She is in a position of wealth but does not disfruit it.

"You can play with me there sometimes, If you catch me in the mood."

You can have sex with me, but I do not want to be in a relationship any more.

Savage. = Both the person who hurt her and the other person she uses for sex.

She said,"I have this unhappiness..."

Referring so a trauma and the reason she cannot be in a relation.

"So don't ask me to stay with you Don't ask to see me home."

Don't start a relation with me, do not enter my world.

Yes my explanation refers to my condition, of course.
