I do understand how most people could interpret his song as scary and terrifying, a "bad guy" coaxing a nice, trusting girl to surrender her body to him, but that is not what I felt when I first heard it. It comforted me - I have been in a situation where I called up my boyfriend that I was supposed to be broken up with, and we went dancing, alone, just the two of us at a random club. We held each other's bodies tight, and we both didn't know exactly what was in store, but we both knew what we were there for. We both knew that in our right, "sober" minds, we would not, and should not be close to each other. We knew we had to be "high" for this. (difference was that we were drunk not high) We ended up at his place, in his oh-so-familiar bed, and it was so lustful and carefree, just giving in to something we knew we shouldn't be doing. It was so easy, we just knew what the other was thinking and it was so beautiful. In the end, it ultimately caused more pain, dragging the end of our relationship out, but it was just something we needed to do, but we both had to be "high" for it. This song comforted me, and reminded me that everyone has moments of weakness. |
