I get the gist of the song, but what is this part:...?

dtt says:

Imagination should window (Imagination)
On a cold September day (Ooh)
Leaves are brown (brown), passion sounds (Ooh)
A memory self-astray
4 hands in the place where the feet connect
Gang of 4 - circle of sex

In a vicious race 2 maturity
They almost faint from ecstasy
Sweat upon the necks of dames
Loser in the circle game
Cuz some memories are worth so much more (So much more)

So ppl good at interpreting lyrics...I'm asking you: Huh?

kthnx!

its about Prince's love for 4 people orgy's

I have no idea what he is talking about and I have heard this song many times.

It's about 4 girls, right?

4 hands in the what now? circle of sex?

Are two of girls each holding the ankles of one girl? what is the 4th girl doing?

Is this what men think teenage girls do? sit around getting each other off?

lol, I don't know what he is trying to say.

alwayslate said:

Circle jerking? Then what does 'the loser in the circle game' mean? How can you LOSE at that?

And these lines make no sense to me:
Imagination should window (Imagination)
A memory self-astray
Cuz some memories are worth so much more (So much more)...more than WHAT?

FruitToAttractBears said:

wha? okay, I guess I'm naive as hell. What is circle jerking? secondly, I guess the loser has to be uh the jerk-er. lol.

alwayslate said:

Mutual masturbation...maybe the loser comes last.


wtf Prince and these are supposed to be 10th graders you sick fuck?

I think it's some kind of auto-biographical coming of age story involving bukkake

Probably.

I've had trouble figuring this one out for a long time. The only way I've put it together is this:

The girls all agreed to meet at the one girl's house after school with a bottle of wine and do some experimenting.

The singer (Prince) overheard the plans and goes and peeks in the window.

They're all sitting around masterbating -- trying to grow up too fast , the vicious race to maturity.

There's no drug ecstasy, just their own sexual ecstasy which also makes them sweaty.

Loser in the circle game? Ummmmm....Prince since he's left on the outside looking in?

Memories as worth so much more? I have no idea. Maybe the memory of this is more valuable than the actual moment was?

This is a good example of when it may not be worth it to look too closely and try to make literal sense of the lyrics, just go with them and take it at face value.

FruitToAttractBears said:

it means that they all loose because they gave up their innocence thinking that masturbating together would lead to their maturity.

sosgemini said:

Then how come he didn't say 'losers'?

FruitToAttractBears said:

cause theres no rules when it comes to the lyric..



honestly, i dont know...but thats how i took it when reading the lyrics...and that how i will take it till prince tells me otherwise.

sosgemini said:

I think he's singing about him and his friends. That the female characters are just a flip-side representation of what he is.

And the loser, is the loser in a circle jerk that had to eat the cracker or piece of bread that has all the jizz on it.


And folks, I ain't jokin' this time.

It could be "Soggy Biscuit" for girls

Girls are not that disgusting!

FruitToAttractBears said:

i like that line. the place where the feet connect: the vagina or the penis

quite clever. it took me a few listens to go " "

IstenSzek said:

Shouldn't it then be 'where the legs connect'?

metalorange said:

have any of you see a naked woman before?

muirdo said:

lolz. yeah, i have. and i know it's a rather weird line,
but it is what he is singing about

the feet connect at the top of the legs, well inbetween
the legs. it's weird, as i said, lol, but it's also one
of those cleverish prince lines.

imagine prince chatting up this woman

prince: "i'm gonna pet you where your feet connect"

16 year old latina: ""

IstenSzek said:

Well doesn't it depend what they're connecting to? 'cause if he mean 'in the place where the feet connect (to the upper torso)' then yeah. But technically, the feet connect at the ankles.

FruitToAttractBears said:

no. the foot connects to the ankle, the feet connect together to the torso.

(am i getting on your tits yet?)

IstenSzek said:

Isn't that what I said?

Damn, so THAT is what the song means? Where does Prince's twisted little mind think up this shit?

IstenSzek said:

Definately a strange line, if that's the meaning, why use the odd idea of 'feet' meaning 'legs/torso intersection' when he could have more seductively said 'place between the thighs' after all he's used 'thighs' many times in his songs with the same connotations.

metalorange said:

He used feet to confuse the hell out of us

Aren't we all so lucky to have an artist who writes a song about four girls masturbating? Oh, Prince.
