Lust Lyrics

I don't know how to quite interprete this song;...at least for me I see the song's meaning like this: Tori is watching two persons who are attracted to each other who but don't dare to recognize it, and doubt if the other one really sees beyond the surface (-->"is he real or a ghost lie she feels she isn't heard and the veil tears and rages till her voices are remembered and his secrets can be told")...But Tori tells him that he can "dare" because he doesn't have to fear that he dares in vain, he just has to be patient until she thinks she can dare,too,... because she has got the same yearnings for him, but she needs time to lose the fear: "you know you'll drink her rolling and unrolling coiling emerging running free running through the afterworld into your room so she prays for a prankster and lust in the marriage bed and he waits till she can give and he waits and he waits" ...hm, however, still strange lyrics, maybe I interprete wrong at all. But, the piano and her way of singing it....shivering and mesmerizing.

Interesting interpretation, but I'm more impressed with the date of your post...2002. I hadn't realized this site has existed nine years (or more). I thought in was rather new.
