While listening to the Cyndi Lauper song "She Bop" a few days ago, after hearing the verse about going blind, I suddenly realized (for the first time ever) what the song was probably about. Considering that I've always liked the song, I'm surprised it never clicked for me before now.

Yet, I was 12 years old when the song came out. Even if I was able to decipher the song's words back then, I probably wasn't yet familiar with the saying about masturbation causing blindness. I'm not sure that I even knew a word for masturbation yet.

I run into those songs periodically. Something I innocently had no idea what it meant, and later it turns out to be sexual. Thinking of "Save a Prayer" by Duran Duran, here... I felt later like "The Reflex" had a sexual subtext too, and looking at lyrics meaning sites, I can tell I'm not the only one. :) But I like to think of it still as a kind of fae inspiration leading a creative person on a chase.
