Yeah, this time
Shall we walk?
Shall we run through my head, you understand?
Does the body you conceal
Need the touch of someone's hand?
Ashes; violations
Who would they burn for?
In your isolation what can't you see?
I wonder if the light's down
I wonder if they're listening
Hold me lay your shame away
Show me where your lovers stay
Hold me lay your ghost away
Show me for yourself
You are lost and alone
But a prisoner of your pride
When the passions you ignore
You can never hide
One of these days you're gonna find out
Cause one of these days you're gonna try
And what did I say
To make you wind up
With this spear of guilt inside
I wonder if the light's down
I wonder if they're listening
Hold me lay your shame away
Show me where your lovers stay
Hold me lay your ghost away
Show me for yourself
Na na na na na na na hold me
Na na na na na na show me
No na na na na na na na na na
Hold me lay your shame away
Show me where your lovers stay
Hold me lay your ghost away
Show me for yourself
Shall we walk?
Shall we run through my head, you understand?
Does the body you conceal
Need the touch of someone's hand?
Ashes; violations
Who would they burn for?
In your isolation what can't you see?
I wonder if the light's down
I wonder if they're listening
Hold me lay your shame away
Show me where your lovers stay
Hold me lay your ghost away
Show me for yourself
You are lost and alone
But a prisoner of your pride
When the passions you ignore
You can never hide
One of these days you're gonna find out
Cause one of these days you're gonna try
And what did I say
To make you wind up
With this spear of guilt inside
I wonder if the light's down
I wonder if they're listening
Hold me lay your shame away
Show me where your lovers stay
Hold me lay your ghost away
Show me for yourself
Na na na na na na na hold me
Na na na na na na show me
No na na na na na na na na na
Hold me lay your shame away
Show me where your lovers stay
Hold me lay your ghost away
Show me for yourself

I think this song is about communication. I think the members of Duran Duran are especially big on that now, they know what bottling things up and going with the flow can result in, from what I've heard them say. Simon has said the key to a good marriage is never letting anything get in between you, not letting things build up. As for this song, Simon has said this song is about "secrets". So I think it's about being honest with whomever you love.
