This song has nothing to do with him being a homo or anything like that. This song is about a woman who he strongly desires but who only wants him for sex. He is very cautious from past expierences and it has left him emotionally scared. "there is a quick and easy way, you say" -she's basically a slut and is so emotionally detached that the only way she can express herself is through sex. "im not the man you think i am" -he wants true love not just sex (thats the dilemma). "You tug my arm, and say : Give in to lust, Give up to lust"- again she wants sex!, it couldnt be any clearer. I could have been wild and I could have Been free, But Nature played this trick on me" -hes not going to change his ways, he is to sensitive to be so careless. "She wants it Now, And she will not wait, But she's too rough And I'm too delicate" -he is very sensitive emotionally and can just have sex and be satisfied. "Then, on the sand Another man, he takes her hand, A smile lights up her stupid face (and well, it would)" -he basically has to let her go, another man came into the picture who can satiafy her sexual desires with less emotional attachment. This is when its clear that she dosent really care about him. "I lost my faith in Womanhood" -something happened in his past which made him loose his faith when hes around women, he is verry careful. He want a true woman... but lets face it that almost impossible to find now days
@poppi Nice work, it's so easy to assume everything he writes is from the gay perspective. It certainly can speak to that situation, and people could relate to it, but I think it's fairly obvious he likes both and it's not really enough of a subject matter for Moz to write about a gay guy saying no to a girl. I think you got it bang on.

@poppi It's a plausible interpretation. I still get a heavy sense of either the dilemma of feeling ambiguously sexual or completely non sexual (which he did claim, after all). I think it has a lot to do with being non attracted to even a pretty girl, though. Whether he's attracted to men or feels little sexuality at all. Otherwise, I don't think he's mention nature playing a trick on him (he doesn't like women! OR, he doesn't really want to have sex at all!).

@poppi Yes! It's very clear to me as well. Has nothing to do with homosexuality, lol. It's more about a man that's not necessarily asexual, but he doesn't want casual sex either.

This is a good interpretation. I also think "Sorrow's native son, he will not rise for anyone" is a reference to impotence....possibly.
