Why would a person be simultaneously attracted to, and disgusted by AIDS? Why would a person say "I don't want to break these chains"? AIDS is not "hot", and it doesn't call you ("i hear you calling") like a woman might, or like you might imagine heroin does, if you were an addict. So he is still addicted, and a part of him doesn't want to "break these chains".Īs for being about AIDS? That metaphor doesn't work at all. It's already "running through veins" and because it's so addictive, even if he had come off it when he (with Desmond Childs and John McCurry) wrote this song, he would still have been prone to cravings. But he doesn't literally mean to lay down on your back, in the grass, on a starry night and count the stars dotting the night landscape. (he "better not touch", he "wants it too much"), and heroin is, actually, poison. On a deeper level, the woman may certainly be a symbol for heroin, as others have suggested.

He walks towards her and offers her his hand. you are welcome to read the song that way, but I can see no specific evidence in the song to back up your claim. Now in colours, people are dancing at the party and Evans sits in the corner of the room, seeing Supreme peeking by the curtain. We werent meant to understand everything. (To those who suggested the woman in the song may be too young, or under age. In The Spark that Bled, it suggests that religion might just be a form of comfort. If he gives into his desire, he may lose himself. do all the things he wants to do -) but he knows that will make the problem worse ("i better not touch") She is already "under skin".

that love passing by a pure scene in somebody elses life gives my life meaning. ("your cruel device" "my pain - your thrill"). Will bloom little flaws that mimic the stars. She's the kind of person who gets a kick from men falling for her. Im fired up and tired of the way that things have been, oh-ooh. The woman is sexy and attractive ("your mouth, so hot" "i wanna kiss you" "i wanna touch you") etc, but cruel.

On the surface, this song is about a man who is in love with (or has a crush on) a woman. Maybe there isn't a vein of stars callin' out my name They'll glow from above our heads Nothin' there to see you down on your knees 25, 26, 27 Back from the future maybe there aint no heaven There's just you and me Maybe that's all whose left & if there aint no heaven Maybe there aint no hell Who knows Maybe there isn't a vein of stars callin.
