A drinking crowd
In walks a red dress
A glance without a sound
A strange connection
With looks that ever end
Peculiar tension

The song speaks of a strange connection between the woman and the singer, with an intense gaze that seems to never end. There is a sense of tension and pretense, as if destiny has brought these two individuals together despite their reluctance to acknowledge it.
