Private Affair
Unveiling Hidden Desires: A Private Affair Explored
Lyrics
Wish me a good night
Desire for someone to wish for a good night
It's not a good night night
It's not a pleasant night
For me tonight
It's not good for the singer tonight
You'll dream of me
You will dream of the singer
Me tonight with blindfolds on
The singer is depicted wearing blindfolds tonight
Tonight
Emphasis on tonight
Lust blinds the eyes
Lust obscures judgment
And justifies reasons
Lust provides reasons or excuses
But I'll never know
The singer won't understand certain things
What you know she's stealing
Someone is taking something the singer is unaware of
Dive in, dive out
Implies diving into a situation and leaving quickly
I'll drug a song till you're drunk
The singer will use music to intoxicate or captivate
Just to drive you mad
To provoke madness in someone
You play their strings
Someone else manipulates or controls
You play the pain
They cause the pain
The pain you know they lack
They lack the pain they cause
Lust blinds the eyes
Reiteration that lust blinds reasoning
And justifies reasons
Lust justifies actions or thoughts
But you'll never know
The other person won't understand what the singer does
What I know he's stealing
Someone else is taking something the singer knows about
She'll invite you down
She will encourage someone to join her secretly
She'll ask you to come
Asking someone to participate in a hidden activity
It's a private affair
Emphasis on the secrecy of the affair
A private affair
Highlighting the private nature of the event
He'll invite me down
He will invite the singer secretly
He'll ask me to come
Asking the singer to participate covertly
It's a private affair
Reinforcing the secretive nature of the affair
A private affair
Underlining the confidentiality of the event
Hide our heads in the sand
Ignoring a situation and avoiding it
Hibernate
To withdraw and isolate oneself
For sure we'd trust then
If they were isolated, trust would be certain
My mind is bending
The singer's thoughts are becoming distorted
Can you taste the rusted nails
A metaphorical reference to experiencing something unpleasant
We're crucified with
Being figuratively punished for desires
Lust blinds the eyes
Restating the blinding effect of lust on reason
And justifies reasons
Lust rationalizes actions or thoughts
But they'll never know
Others won't comprehend what the singer understands
What we know they're stealing
Others are taking something the singer knows about
