| Yes like i said that is what it's about. But trust me - It's a woman! The lyrics "nothing entered me" i think is due to rumours all through the 80's/90's that he was gay(which he isn't, as he now has a girlfriend) | |

| I also question that he said he was no longer celibate. Any quotations people? Sources? Anyone know what the chorus might mean? | |

| Edit: I mispelled "Visconti" as "Visconi;" however, "Visconi" should be "Pasolini," for he was the director behind Mamma Roma. | |

| It's about him meeting this woman in rome and having sex with her(for the first time in his life). "I entered nothing and nothing entered me, 'till you came with the key," "Pasolini is me, Accattone, you'll be," - Acattone was Pasolini's FIRST film. She was Moz's FIRST too. Get It? | |

| Another, less literal, interpretation that I prefer is that he's been hurt really bad emotionally. Like sometimes when it feels like you've been stabbed through your heart, and still somehow you walk around, living. In my opinion the last line "Always, I do forgive you." supports this, as it gives a hint that it (might have) happened before. | |

| lukefun, if it's about being killed how does that explain: "As I live and breathe, You have killed me," etc. Obviously it's about being dead inside for some such reason. | |

| I definitely don't think this is Morrissey's intended meaning with the "As I live and breathe, You have killed me" lyrics, but one possible way to interpret it is that the narrator of the song has caught a deady and incurable disease, and thus in a manner of speaking, is already "dead", while still living and breathing. | |

| I agree with the first time thing, but I don't think its a woman. Mostly because it says I entered nothing and nothing entered me, 'till you came with the key, Which makes me think both parties "entered," and I doubt that a woman entered him. Not to mention key screams phallic symbol, to me. Maybe not. Just my interpretation. | |

| I've actually been to Piazza Cavour, very nice piazza, not far from the Vatican :) I'm completely baffled by this song. I think Mozzer just decorated this song with Italian icons meaningful to him that don't necessarily make sense. For example : Visconti is me. That makes no sense (Visconti being the one producing the album). | |

| Fantastic new single. Some background information: -"Pasolini" is Italian director, poet, and intellectual Pier Paolo Pasolini, who was famous for portraying life the way it was, rather than happy-go-lucky as politicians wished to show. -Accatone is "Accatone," one of Pasolini's most famous films, about a street hustler named Vincent whose nickname is "Accatone," which means "rags." -Visconti was a ruling family of Milan; however, in this song it more likely refers to Luchino Visconti, another Italian director. -Magnani is the last name of Anna Magnani, a famous Italian actress who starred in Visconi's "Mamma Roma." Italy's obviously rubbed off on Mozzer. In a good way. | |
