In the lyrics a woman voices her complaints about her lover. The text not only expresses a complaint, however. At the same time it is an analysis of the reason why she finds herself attracted to him. She describes him as a man who is hiding his inner self behind a careful constructed image, letting nobody look at his emotions deep down inside. The poetic lyrics of the first verse seem a direct inversion of the ironic Suzanne of the old master of Canadian folk-rock, Leonard Cohen (the first track of his 1968 album The Songs of Leonard Cohen). Instead of the rags and feathers of Cohen's Jesus hippy Suzanne, Sarah's nameless character is dressed in Rasta wear. The Christian cross of Suzanne is replaced by a Celtic one. Cohen's sun, which "shines like honey on our lady of the harbor", has gone down under the horizon; in McLachan's song the only light comes from the street lamps of a city at night, where "the vampires roam".
All this man is doing, is aimed at one and the same thing: building a mystery. The way it is sung, makes it sound like a conclusion too. And again the person that McLachlan addresses, is the opposite of Cohen's Suzanne. Where Cohen pictures his Suzanne as acting really authentic, McLachlan's lover is constructing his identity to give an impression of mysteriousness to the outside world.
As the song nears its apotheosis there is a decisive end in last line of the lyrics: "You're building a mystery". This time the progression leads toward the A chord without any added or changed tones. It sounds like ending with an exclamation mark! The last chord is an A chord, which seems to make the concluding end into a direct confrontation of the singer with her lover. The mystery has become a double mystery: the mystery he is building and the mystery why she loves him.

It also reflects a personality type that is described in astrology. If you know anything about astral birth charts which is the placement of all other planets, moon, and asteroids. It goes more in depth then your sun sign which would just be the month of your birth.

This is a link that discribes the mars in Scorpio man and woman. In the video it describe the traits of a mars in Scorpio man and the mars in Scorpio woman who loves him singing about him. There is even they symbolic scene where he casts his shadow across the moon in the resemblance of Scorpio as dose she. When just one mars in Scorpio is in love it is an intense and life changing experience that your may never find again in another unless they have this placement. But when two of these people are in love with each other there raw sexual energy dark mysterious personalitys and strick obsessive devotion to one another is a love that blows all others out of the water.
I just recently because of my studies in astrology and into my own relationship being mars in Scorpio in luv with another mars in Scorpio helped me discover the meaning behind my favorite song of Sarah's that seemed to parallel my feels. It made me love this song even more and it goes to show you. There is always something new to discover even about thing you thought u already thought u did.
