(I will not give up on you.)

Cute red hood come walk with me.
Leave your roommate friend.
Come up to this apartment with me.
Your soft feet will melt.

They walked so far, jumped workin' streets.
They need to feel some furs.
Come up to my den with me.
(Wait, shoot straight.)

Oh, I'm fevering,
Oh, you make me want to...

Now I'm gonna gonna chase you!

Whooo ooo
oo-oo-oo
whooo ooo
oo-oo-oo

    General Comment:Does anyone know what I said in the background before "now I'm gonna gonna chase you"? Pretty it's not turns into a wol and attacks haha. Is it even a word? My best guess is "rape" but I don't like to think this is what the song is about

    General Comment:sometimes people just say odd things to sound cool or artsy or unique

    (...and a lot times they just sound like giant douches, like slinkstersars here)


    Like many AC songs, I'd be lost on the lyrics without the internet despite absolutely falling for the music. The music is just so dreamlike it kind of sedates the listener.

    But the lyrics....wow. Really gives me the feeling of having someone that seems so worthy to you of not giving up on.
    And I will not give up on her =]

    General Comment:the first thirty seconds of this song makes me think of
    watching yourself exprience rain for the first time as
    a child while the devil watches from behind your back

    Lyric Correction:Cute red hood come walk with me
    Leave your room mate friend
    Come up to this apartment with me
    Your soft feet will melt
    They walked so far, jumped workin' streets
    They need to feel some furs
    Come up to my den with me
    (Wait, shoot straight)

    Oh, I'm fevering
    Oh, you make me want to...
    (turns into a wolf and attacks)
    Now I'm gonna gonna chase you

    General Comment:I think he's trying to tell someone that he can make her happy and all she has to do is come with him. Come into his life. Then he feels possessive of her and I think he's a little critical of himself in calling him a bear who will chase her and eventually bring her back to his den. He'll be charming and take her home with him and be loving and then he'll never let her go.
    It's either that or:
    He's telling her that he'll love her forever and that he'll always be there to get her back and that she can be safe in his den. This is how I interpret it.

    Memory:speaking of snow, as i was driving home today, everything was covered in it. the trees were coated with ice and the sunset was coming through, turning the whole thing purple and orange. i put this song on and it was the most magical drive home i've ever experienced.
