I get a thrill outta playing with fire
Cause you hold your life when you hold that flame
I get a kick outta thunder and lightning and
Tearing through the night hollering your name

I get a laugh outta starin' at darkness
And wondering why people live in the light
I drive fast and I rumble the hardest
I don't feel alive if I ain't in the fight

I can't sleep when there's something to do
You spend your whole life dreaming and you wake up dead
It's a long night can I spend it with you
Cause you're oh so pretty when you stand on the edge

Oh little darlin' don't you look charming
Here in the eye of a hurricane
Real or imagined - what does it matter?
Come inside, can I get you to stay?

Oh little darlin' don't you like falling down
Through the sky like a diving plane
Real or imagined - what does it matter?
Come inside, can I get you to stay?

What is life? Only visions
When I die, I'm coming right on back for you
Who am I? An illusion
Would I lie? I'm coming right on back for you

Oh little darlin' don't you look charming
Here in the eye of a hurricane
Real or imagined - what does it matter?
Come inside, can I get you to stay?

Oh little darlin' don't you get lonely
Look in my eyes gimme one more day
Real or imagined - what does it matter?
Come inside, can I get you to stay?

This is a song about abuse. The beginning speaks to someone living in the dark, always plotting manipulations, an undertone of anger that they will never be their authentic self and live any kind of meanful life, and amused by the games they play with others lives. Wording directly preceding the chorus speaks to finding their victim and enjoying her being on the edge of sanity. First verse in the chorus is the love bombing stage, the victim is pretty and charming. The second verse in the chorus is the devalue stage where she falls down through the sky like a diving plane and the third verse in the chorus is the discard and hoover stage. When she figures him out the illusion breaks and her vision of what she thought their life together would be like shatters. The abusers false self dies when she leaves and he can no longer mirror her. He will come back to hoover her. The eye of the hurricane represents the stillness she thinks she is in....unaware of the manipulations and mind games that circle her. The ending speaks to the abuser asking for her to ignore what she knows for one more day and stay in the fantasy with him and to not recognize her loneliness in the relationship...in that she was always alone and never knew the abusers real self but rather her own self mirrored back to her. more »
