Nope, I don't see it... This house is full of m-m-my mess This house is full of m-m-mistakes This house is full of m-m-madness This house is full of, full of, full of fight Heart or mind seems to me to be the object here. I wash the panes I clean the stains away Crying, but only if we are talking about her mind, or soul if you prefer. Man: Woman, let me in Let me bring in the memories Woman, let me in Let me bring in the Devil Dreams If there is a rape here it is a mental one. Personally, I don't believe the woman comes off well enough or the man bad enough for it to be a rape. It looks to me more like a song about a woman who is trying to forget her past confronted with something or someone which threightens to bring it back. -- rjc@cstr.ed.ac.uk _O_ |<
