However, interest in the group faded quickly, and the band's follow-up album, 'Humanication', was shelved and never released during the band's prime, although its first single-- "How Much Longer"-- did get released as a 12" single. "The Politics of Dancing" has been used in many places such as the 1985 movie 'Red' and the 1998 movie 'Edge Of Seventeen'. Paul Fishman went on playing with other artists, and 'Humanication' finally received a belated official release in 2010.
Sensitive
Re-Flex Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I have to be so careful with what I do
But you're so fragile and delicate
I get scared that you will break I two
Easy does it
You can't push or shove it
What kind of wood are you in today
You're like a whirlpool of emotion
So complicated in every way
Easy does it
You can push or shove it
You're so sensitive
The way you're feeling
Sensitive, I'm perceiving
Sensitive well that's how it is
You're so sensitive
You're so sensitive
The way you're feeling
Sensitive, I'm perceiving
Sensitive
Well that's how it is
You're so sensitive
Love is tender you have to treat is right
You've got to give it plenty of affection
You can't afford to play around with it
It’s got to have a sense of direction
Easy does it
You can't push or shove it
You're so sensitive
The way you're feeling
Sensitive, I'm perceiving
Sensitive
Well that's how it is
You're so sensitive
The way you're feeling
Sensitive, I'm perceiving
Sensitive
Well that's how it is
You're so sensitive
My senses tell me something's wrong
But senses don't explain what's going on
Just a clue would be enough
One false move
And I could lose you
You're so sensitive
The way you're feeling
Sensitive, I'm perceiving
Sensitive
Well that's how it is
You're so sensitive
The way you're feeling
Sensitive, I'm perceiving
Sensitive
Well that's how it is
You're so sensitive
The way you're feeling
Sensitive, I'm perceiving
Sensitive
Well that's how it is
You're so sensitive
The song "Sensitive" by Re-Flex explores the idea of being cautious around someone who is sensitive and delicate. The singer doesn't want to upset or hurt the other person, but feels the need to tiptoe around them to avoid causing any damage to their emotions. The lyrics suggest that the person is very complex and emotional, like a whirlpool, which makes it difficult for the singer to understand their feelings and avoid provoking a negative response.
Throughout the song, there is a recurring theme of "easy does it", reminding the singer to approach the situation with care and sensitivity. They acknowledge that love is delicate and must be handled tenderly and with purpose, or else it can easily be broken. Despite the challenges, the singer is willing to put in the effort to try and understand and support the sensitive person, even if it means walking on eggshells at times.
Overall, the song highlights the importance of being considerate and mindful of others' emotions, especially if they are particularly sensitive. It suggests that we should approach these situations with empathy and care, while still being genuine and true to our own emotions and needs.
