yeh i agree with billy the first line says it all you're living with a godess and you treat her like a slave
and now he isnt gonna let the fact she has a boyfriend stop him anymore and he is gonna make him pay for all he has done to her. my favourite line is " you turned her into a ghost but she will be burning b4 the night is up"
Damn right! jorgovan21.. I'll go another step further and suggest, given the nature of the lyrics, the abusive one is also probably crap in bed.. : -)
@cormag206 I saw him in 1978, and I was just blown away by how much he put in his songs. I had the orignal "Bat out of Hell" album signed because I said to my friend," this guys gonna blow himself out, no one can do that kind of show and last"
He is in love with his friend's girlfriend and believes his friend is not treating her well and she is merely a ghost of her former self
He is vowing to watch for his chance to take her away from him.
But in the mean time he wants his friend to Give me your girl and your trust and if you give me to the end of the night..... (Quite unselfishly) he volunteers to love her for both of them.
how do you know the guys not friends with the girl... and he sees her in a unhappy relationship and he can see her wilting and know hed love her better
Guy is i love with a girl, the girl is with another man. Guy wants her so much but can't have her, he feels like he would treat her way better than her boyfriend because he loves her so much.
It's envy. The song is about envy that drives a guy so mad and crazy because he is madly in love with a girl he can not have.
Thank you. But i get the meaning as it is the Angel of Death who is about to claim the soul of a woman, someone who is envious about a friends girl ask for his TRUST?
Maybe I am way off, but it is just my iside of the meaning, as the song is really deep and it is just too obvious and easy to read envy of one man's woman to another. Meatloaf is famous for his complicated and very deep meanings in his lyrics.
@dangerousbilly or to put it in laymans terms, he wants the girl, he is saying give me 1 night with you and you will leave him and come with me, sort of
@dangerousbilly I'll go a step further...the girl is in an abusive relationship, and the second boy is telling the abusive boyfrend to give him his girl, before it's to late.i
@jorgovan21 yes, that's my take on it too. :) Great song, Meatloaf has a great voice, i just find it hard to watch him because he pulls ridiculous faces :/
I totally agree , very very under rated, this was my 2nd favorite by meat...i used to worry about this guy having a massive corobary on stage,,,but thats what makes him , him, when he sings he RIPS out your soul.
Who EVER thought that this song we listened to the first time we hung out would be so TRUE in our lives today??????????
