"Whos got their claws in you my friend" and thats why he forever feels like he is watching her "through the window" When he is holding her he knows she feels the same "In your eyes, love, it glows so", but theres someone else in the way. He lays it all out on the line for her, loves her to no end "I'm bare boned and crazy for you" I agree with you! This is undoubtedly a love affair. the ball and chain tied to the person is just inescapable emotion, be it love or lust. I don't get the s and m reference out of it. "You've got your ball, you've got your chain/ Tied to me tight, tie me up again" is about being totally enthralled by someone, and only wanting to be even more so. I got it as a song about being IN a love affair, and just being so consumed by it that you never want it to end. What gives the idea that it's about a past relationship? I didn't get that at all. it's to someone he knows extremely well as a person and a lover.

It's definitely not an admiration from afar. I read somewhere that he said that "all of his songs are about sex, even the ones that aren't".Īnyway, my interpretation. You can't just assume it's about a boy's fantasy because of the lyric "In a boy's dream" Secondly, it might not be ALL about sex, but sex is a big part of it, and of Dave's music in general. Firstly, I do agree that it's more than adolescent fantasy, because it's deeper than that. In reading the comments, I have a few of my own. General CommentOne of my favorite DMB songs.
