This song is deeply erotic and sensual, the first chords with whisper create this tense 'noir' atmosphere. For me it's about passion, obsession which happened all of a sudden, and danger when sth has gone out of control (yes, it has hitchcock connotations, but I hear sth like 'Last tango in Paris" where she kills him and makes up this story where he's just a total stranger who wanted to rape her so she had to kill him). Maybe she gave up this love fearing it could ruin her life and creates this story to protect her (it was just a dream, nothing real), maybe it's just two secret lovers imagining they're characters in a noir movie. The moment I heard this song I've always pictured 'a sensual dance' scene in a movie (they are drunk, neon-lit motel room, she crawls on her fours to him in this sparkling emerald dressing gown, saying sth like 'Now I'm going to seduce you', he lifts her up and this strange dance begins, their faces very close, almost touching). So for me it's more about this hypnotic yearning, this perfect moment of erotic blend (bodies electrified).
