To Die a Virgin
Embracing Desire: A Musical Odyssey of Love and Temptation
Lyrics
Well we've been going together
Expressing the duration of the relationship.
Since the eighth of November
Specifying the start date of the relationship.
And though it seems like forever
Reflecting on the lengthy time spent together.
I very clearly remember
Recalling a significant memory.
You told me on our first date
Referencing a conversation from the first date.
What you'd do on my birthday
Implying anticipation for a birthday surprise.
Well hooray it's my birthday!
Celebrating the speaker's birthday.
And frankly, baby, I can't wait.
Expressing excitement about the anticipated event.
I don't want to die a virgin
Stating a desire to avoid dying without intimacy.
The other day I discovered
Discovering provocative material.
A magazine of my brother's
Identifying the source of the discovered material.
I read it under the covers
Describing the act of reading the material secretly.
It got me all hot and bothered.
Expressing arousal caused by the material.
Now every time that I see you
Linking arousal to the partner's presence.
Your uniform becomes see-through
Suggesting a heightened level of attraction.
You don't know how much I need you
Expressing emotional dependence on the partner.
The "Handy Andys" I've been through
Referring to past relationships or experiences.
I don't want to die a virgin
Reiterating the desire to avoid dying without intimacy.
The pines and the cedars rejoice in his fall
Introducing a shift in the lyrical theme.
How are you fallen from heaven?
Quoting a biblical reference about a fallen being.
Oh Hellel, star of the morning
Addressing the fallen being as "Hellel, star of the morning."
With all the bombs and the bird-flu
Mentioning contemporary concerns, such as war and disease.
We're probably gonna be dead soon
Expressing a fatalistic outlook on the future.
And here we are in your bedroom
Transitioning to a personal setting (bedroom).
Oh did I tell you I love you I love you I love you
Professing love multiple times.
I can feel your heart beating
Describing physical sensations indicating arousal.
And your breathing increasing
Noting increased heart rate and breathing.
Your folks are out for the evening
Highlighting privacy in the absence of parents.
I really hope I'm not dreaming
Expressing a hope that the situation is real.
I don't want to die a virgin
Reiterating the central theme of avoiding virginity in death.
