Conquest

The song describes a man who treats romance as a contest: he wants to win women without caring about the hurt he causes. His attitude changes when he falls for one woman. The emotional balance then shifts, and by the end she appears to have won him, leading him “down the aisle”—possibly to marriage.

The repeated word “conquest” means a victory or something captured, but here it makes love sound like a battle. “The hunted became the huntress” and “the hunter became the prey” reverse the usual roles: the man who pursued others is now the one being pursued. “Love to him was a joke” suggests he once treated affection as unimportant or unserious.

The ending is playful, but its meaning is not entirely straightforward. The woman’s “female guile” may imply cleverness or strategy, yet the lyrics do not explain exactly how she wins him. The song may be joking about courtship as a power struggle, rather than presenting either person’s feelings in a fully serious way. It also leaves open whether the man’s change is genuine love or simply another kind of defeat.
