Okay, my daughter and I had already spent much time discussing this, and we've probably overanalyzed it.
The title probably refers to the fact that sweat used to go for over 3 PED and is now hovering around .7, I think. When I started people were trying to convince newbies not to sell for less than 1.2 or something. So newbies and sweaters work harder and harder and bascially make almost nothing. The fun parts of entropia are the most expensive thing you can do -- hunting, mining, crafting. Sometimes I think we are bleeding PEDs.
The original song is about doing heroin, drugs... And being that entropia is SO addictive...
The drugs cost a lot of money, you feel good for a bit, then you're broke and down. EU costs quite a bit, a least for us, sweating is a LOT of work -- not fun for us, except in the company of friends -- and the fun part is what costs so much. No, it all costs a lot.
Hmmm... so we're paying a lot of money to work hard...
The first verse would have the drugs/eu runing away through the night -- gee, that's when we play the most! No need to fight, never a frown -- hmm... again we fight/hunt a lot and frown when the loots are bad. But pvp fighting is a lark...
Every time, just like the last -- eu is different and the same each time you play. On her ship tied to the mast to distant lands takes both my hands. Well, eu being a transport to carry you to imaginary lands...
Golden brown finer temptress through the ages she's heading west -- hmmm... eu could be a temptress always calling one back to log on and spend more money to have a trip to a virtual world that costs money to work hard in. Or it could be all those ladies standing around in their underwear trying to convince us to give them an ESI chip so they can sell us skills at 50% off or to accept a lady named PornStar as our mentor (both happened to us).
From far away, stay for a day...
Y'know... we probably just haven't got a clue for the whole song!
But we LOVE it anyway!
