Quote by Dido
When you're stoned, baby, I am drunk. And we make love, it seems a little desolate It's hard sometimes not to look away And think what's the point when I'm having to hold this fire down I think I'll explode if I can't feel this freely now. When your stalled baby take me home.
Summary
This quote captures the intense and volatile nature of a passionate relationship. The speaker describes a dynamic where one person is metaphorically "stoned" while the other is "drunk," representing different emotional states. Despite making love, there is a sense of loneliness and emptiness, making it difficult for the speaker to fully engage. The speaker acknowledges the struggle to contain their intense desire and hints at the possibility of losing control if they cannot freely express themselves. They long for the other person to rescue them from their stagnation and bring them back to a place of emotional safety and connection.
