Sex
Pandora's Box Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No one ever said I was a gullible girl
I don't believe everything that I'm told
I've been around and I know the ropes
And I won't get fooled again

I don't believe in no fairy tales
I don't believe in the man in the moon
And no pot of gold or anything else
Is waiting at the rainbow's end

I got no illusions now, I guess I lost them long ago
You're not gonna get me with this, cause I already know
Baby there's no such thing
Baby it just ain't true
And there's no such thing as safe sex
When it comes to loving you

There's always the danger of losing control
And of breaking my heart and exposing my soul
There's just no protection from that look in your eyes
Or the touch of your hands when I break down and cry
There's always the risk of surrendering more
Than I ever intended to do
And there's no such thing as safe sex
When it comes to loving you

I don't believe in the boogie man
I don't believe in no pie in the sky
You can wish upon a star until the stars are gone
That doesn't mean it's really so

There's no such thing as a Santa Claus
There's no such thing as getting money for nothing
And no yellow brick road is gonna take you there
Wherever you've been trying to go

We'll never be as young as thisNo matter how we try, we grow
You're not such an innocent boyAnd I already know

Baby there's no such thing
Baby it just ain't true
And there's no such thing as safe sex
When it comes to loving you

There's always the danger of giving too much
Love is often a drug
Love is often a crutch
There's no guarantee I can handle it all
The higher the climb
The longer the fall
There's always the danger of losing control
And of breaking my heart and exposing my soul
There's just no protection from that look in your eyes
Or the touch of your hands when I break down and cry
There's always the risk of surrendering more
Than I ever intended to do
And there's no such thing as safe sex




When it comes to loving you
When it comes to loving you...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Pandora's Box's song Sex explore the idea that love and sex can never truly be completely safe. The singer is skeptical of fairy tales and other unrealistic notions, implying that they have experienced disappointment or pain in the past. They understand that love and sex are full of danger and risk, yet they cannot resist the powerful attraction they feel for their partner. The lyrics acknowledge the potential for heartbreak, loss of control, and exposure of vulnerability that comes with love and sex, and warns against believing in a false sense of safety.


The song also touches on the idea of growing older and losing one's innocence. The singer acknowledges that they are not as young as they once were and that their partner is not as innocent as they may seem. This adds another layer of complexity to their relationship, as they both understand the risks involved.


Overall, the lyrics to Sex are a sobering reflection on the realities of love and sex. While they may be full of pleasure and joy, they can also lead to heartache and pain. The singer is aware of this, but cannot help but give themselves over to the experience.

When it comes to loving you
When it comes to having feelings for you


There's always the danger of losing control
I risk losing myself or being consumed by passion


And of breaking my heart and exposing my soul
I risk being vulnerable and getting hurt


There's just no protection from that look in your eyes
I cannot shield myself from your intense gaze or emotions


Or the touch of your hands when I break down and cry
I cannot escape your comforting, yet dangerous touch

I do not believe in unrealistic promises or dreams


You can wish upon a star until the stars are gone
You can hope and dream forever, but it may not come true


That doesn't mean it's really so
Just because we wish for something doesn't make it real


There's no such thing as a Santa Claus
The idea of a magical gift-giver is just a myth


There's no such thing as getting money for nothing
You can't get something for nothing in life


And no yellow brick road is gonna take you there
There is no easy way to achieve your goals


Wherever you've been trying to go
Wherever you are trying to reach or achieve


We'll never be as young as this
We will never be this young or carefree again


No matter how we try, we grow
No matter how hard we resist, we will change and mature


You're not such an innocent boy
You are not as naive or innocent as you seem


And I already know
I am aware and not deceived


There's always the danger of giving too much
I risk giving more than what is healthy or sustainable


Love is often a drug
Love can be addictive and all-consuming


Love is often a crutch
Love can be used to escape or avoid dealing with problems


There's no guarantee I can handle it all
There's no assurance that I can manage the intensity of love


The higher the climb
The more intense and difficult the journey


The longer the fall
The greater the risk of getting hurt or losing oneself


When it comes to loving you
When it comes to having feelings for you
