Then we have this part about how she shifted from three years a stranger. Her lust for life keeps her alive, meaning the cage symbolizes this lust: it holds her back from what she wants to do but keeps her from dying. Maybe the swimming pool symbolizes the things that pose a risk to her: she wants to swim, but she knows she would drown if she tried. So she's a wild, caged animal, meaning she has all of these primitive desires that she cannot act on because she's caged. "I'm like a wild, caged animal,/ lying by the swimming pool,/ using all my power./ It's funny how my life just stopped and shifted/ from three years a stranger./ Like a wild, caged animal,/ lying by the swimming pool,/ trying to avoid danger,/ but my lust for life,/ lust for life/ keeps me alive." The demo version provides more clarity on the meaning with its repeated bridge: It's a song about her being conflicted between taking risks and doing what she wants to do and staying alive. Take off all your clothes" I dont think theres anything sexual going on here its just the will to make love to life itself but with a flirty little word play kind of thing. That said, I think teres another way of intepretation for this song which is the classic LDR strong and over emotional love song in which they jump off the Hollywood sign together resulting in "blue skies forever" eternial love in paradise where you are free and you dont need to worry about noghing and everything is flower and love letters.Īnother thing I would like to mention is the whole "Take off, take off Peg Entwhistle was an actress that jumped off the "H" of the Hollywood sign due to a what she thought was an unsuccessful career, little did she know a couple of days after her death her uncle got a letter for her which offered what would have been her first lead role in a movie "So there's no need for us to hesitate, We're all alone, let's take control". In my oppinion this song is all about the whole Hollywood industry and how people die (literally) to become famous and that its ok not to become famous and enjoy the moment and make the most out of it while we are in this world "Cause we're having too much fun For now they will live their separate lives but always have each other on their minds "and a lust for life, keeps us alive." Reason: "The world is mine, there's nobody here, just us together." In my opinion maybe they tried to stop talking but they realized they had a "Lust for Life" and they can't quit each other because there's just too much sexual tension "We dance on the H of the Hollywood sign till we run out of breath." It's like they planned one magical night together where they could be alone regardless of the risks of being caught "cause were the masters of our own fate." Their night together is so passionate "take off, take off all of your clothes." "Were all alone lets take control." They have one night together "my boyfriend's back, and he's cooler than ever." This night will tie them over until the next time they can be alone together again. They are both in committed relationships but they want each other bad and they begin to have an affair with each other. To me this song is about two people that met each other and they have instant attraction to each other. For now they will live their separate lives but always have each other on their minds "and a lust for life, keeps us alive." There's no stopping now, green lights forever There's no more night, blue skies forever 'Til we run out of breath, gotta dance 'til we die (doo-wop, doo-wop)Īnd he's cooler than ever (shoo-roo, shoo-roo) Then, we dance on the H of the Hollywood sign, yeah There's nobody here, just us together (shoo-roo, shoo-roo) (Uhm) climb up the H of the Hollywood sign, yeah
