Lust for Life Lyrics

In my oppinion this song is all about the whole Hollywood industry and how people die (literally) to become famous and that its ok not to become famous and enjoy the moment and make the most out of it while we are in this world "Cause we're having too much fun Too much fun tonight"

Peg Entwhistle was an actress that jumped off the "H" of the Hollywood sign due to a what she thought was an unsuccessful career, little did she know a couple of days after her death her uncle got a letter for her which offered what would have been her first lead role in a movie "So there's no need for us to hesitate, We're all alone, let's take control" ...

That said, I think teres another way of intepretation for this song which is the classic LDR strong and over emotional love song in which they jump off the Hollywood sign together resulting in "blue skies forever" eternial love in paradise where you are free and you dont need to worry about noghing and everything is flower and love letters.

Another thing I would like to mention is the whole "Take off, take off Take off all your clothes" I dont think theres anything sexual going on here its just the will to make love to life itself but with a flirty little word play kind of thing.
