Lyrics meaning

The speaker is attracted to someone who seems confident and mysterious, and wants to understand what she is really like. The lyrics move from curiosity to a direct, intimate question. Although the speaker admits he could be mistaken, he expects that time together will reveal the answer.

โ€œMysteryโ€ means something the speaker cannot yet understand, while โ€œI see you very wellโ€ suggests that he believes he can read the person despite that uncertainty. Her โ€œglowโ€ may be a way of describing her appealing presence or the excitement he feels around her. โ€œTake an aim at your heartโ€ is figurative: he wants to reach her emotionally, not literally.

The repeated question about closing her eyes during lovemaking may be simple curiosity, but it could also hint at wanting to know whether she is fully absorbed in the momentโ€”or thinking of something else. The lyrics do not explain why this matters so much to the speaker, or whether his confidence in reading her is justified. His question can therefore sound playful and eager, but also a little intrusive.
