Song MeaningI agree that this song was written by D.D. from inspiration of a young girl who was raped and killed. Think of the what the title means, Plush- excessively extravagant or luxurious. Exige, in 2002, is closest to the "dogs begin to smell her" metaphorical meaning. How would a cheating girl be associated with rape, and murder? That meaning is out. I agree with the Obsessive relationship theory. This is about a guy who understands what a girl, of such rare beauty, has to go through in life. The obsession of her comes from his understanding of her and his desire for her, but the question becomes: can he overcome all the distractions of other men promising her the "good life". The "lies to come" are from other men or the dogs sniffing around her. "would you even care"- does she care that these are only lies or is she open to the promise of what the lies can offer. The "mask" is the mask she wears to play the game. The obsessed guy discovers she's wearing this mask and needs to rely on it the fact that it is only a mask and it can be removed.

He's willing to wait for tomorrow- he's "got time". One day, maybe tomorrow, she'll realize the bullshit she's been putting up with. When that day comes, it's his best chance to have, lets see if I can actually be the one to make some sense. Ive heard this song the last 15 yrs and its one of my favorites, but I had it on heavy rotation in feb of this year and think I MIGHT have figured it out. The first line seems sarcastic, or if not caring.Īnd then he begins to describe his relationship with his girl, beginning to figure her out, and he thinks that she doesn't feel as strongly to him. The chorus describes still if she cares for him at all like he does for her. The mask I found is described as a character she portrays or an emotion that she is showing.Īnd the dogs symbolize the men that are around her, hitting on her flirting with her, that sort of deal, and then saying, will she trust him and be alone when she's not around him. The 2nd verse starts off with, "so much depends on the weather", which weather can symbolize emotion like dark skies and black clouds are depression.īut he describes in the second line, "so is it raining in your bedroom", going back to the weather part, which rain could symbolize tears and crying. He's questioning if she's crying and upset about their relationship. Then going on to ask again, if she still cares.he seems very hurt as if he'll never see her again.
