A better title for this song is "My lust will go on". Jack and Rose just had a one night stand during their trip in the Titanic. After old Rose seeing the sunken ship, "It's been 84 years" and then talks about Jack. Truly, her lust has stood the test of time.

OK, here's how I see it. Sylvia's mother wants her daughter to be happy, and the joker trying to call has messed Sylvia about so much that her mother is not letting him talk to her. Indeed, as Sylvia comes into the room her mum pretends she's talking to someone else. Good for her. And if I was Sylvia's father I'd probably go round to this bloke and have a quiet word with him about the inadvisability of his ever trying to phone his child again, and to suggest that in future he treats women with respect.

This track deals with surviving betrayal and suffering, and then using that pain as fuel for strength and resilience. The general theme centers around transformation and rebirth after enduring significant hardship, much like the mythological creature the song is named after.

No one's posted on this song in years and I don't expect replies but I just want to say that this song is the most beautiful thing. Without even getting into the lyrical symbolism, I have an eating disorder and the actual melody, the piano and background music, encapsulate something about that that no other song has ever done for me. I know given my eating disorder this might sound weird, but for me, this song is the feeling of hunger. Hunger like an ache in my bones, hunger for goodness, for hope, for transcendence, for salvation. Hunger to escape...

Hunger like an ache in my bones, hunger for goodness, for hope, for transcendence, for salvation. Hunger to escape pain. Hunger to escape self-hatred. Hunger to escape being human. Hunger for hope. I will try again. Stay alive |-/

I think the song is about a young woman who has been through tough times and was hitchhiking to escape whatever bad situation she was leaving. She gets picked up by an older guy in a Cadillac who sees a vulnerable young woman and decides to take advantage of her. She’s not going down without a fight, and ends up either killing the guy, or injures him to the point where she can get away. She calls her mother-in-law to help her out, knowing she will come rescue her because they’ve already been in trouble together in Vegas. Were they...

She gets picked up by an older guy in a Cadillac who sees a vulnerable young woman and decides to take advantage of her. She’s not going down without a fight, and ends up either killing the guy, or injures him to the point where she can get away. She calls her mother-in-law to help her out, knowing she will come rescue her because they’ve already been in trouble together in Vegas. Were they both in abusive marriages? Did they both get away from their abusers? That would mean her ex, the MIL’s son was a bad dude, as was his father. To me, the shoutouts to the bandleaders and Sammy Davis are just Tom’s homage to musicians who were swinging cats. The reference to Sonny Liston is telling. Famously beaten by Cassius Clay in Miami in 1964, but continued boxing (swinging) until his death in 1970. I suspect a similar fate for the girl in the song.
